I received my acceptance email last Thursday! Excited to join you guys in July.
any news?
Someone was accepted on May 11th
I hope so!! Maybe we can inquire about tiers again? Hard to say seeing as the admissions page hasn't been updated since 4/21... and this year seems quite slow/quiet as well...
I just withdrew from all of my WLs. Its official, there's no chance I'm not coming home!
This thread needs one of theses... feel free to copy, paste, and edit.

Anyone hear of anything?
Sounds like no news since May 11? From the forum it doesn't seem like last year was like that. When does it begin to look bleak?
The alternate list is moving, I just think that the sample size of the list on sdn is too small to see it. I bet there will still be a few more acceptances before the class starts (people getting off of other wait lists, deferring a year, etc.) With that being said, I'm almost done with my 2017 AMCAS to prepare for the worst. I'm hoping that a sdner will be accepted soon so it can add some positive excitement to this thread!

For those who plan to reapply, what are you working on to strengthen your app? Or are you waiting for feedback from the committee before you start?
Well hands down my biggest drawback I know was submitting my secondary so late (like last day in Nov. late. I received the secondary in July. Yes, I am an idiot lol), therefore I went ahead and submitted the primary and am pre-writing secondaries to make sure that doesn't happen again. My letter committee wont send my letters until they have the feedback and I show that I'm addressing the problems. Ive emailed UAB twice asking for feedback but they have said "wait three more weeks" and "wait just a couple more weeks". Apparently it takes around a month from inquiry to actually receiving the feedback, so my committee will get the feedback (which will likely say "Dont spend 5 months writing secondaries you *****") mid July and transmit the letters mid august. Ironically, the committee waiting for the feedback that will probably say dont be late again will be the only thing delaying my complete app... but UAB doesnt look at reapps til January, so not a huge deal there, but for other schools waiting to receive my complete file, it's rather frustrating.
Solid plan, good luck. Good idea on pre-writing secondaries too. Did you change up your PS and/or descriptions on work/activities on AMCAS?
This is kind of weird.. but I've been checking the Class of 2020 facebook page... it shows when people have been added (1 month ago, 2 months ago, yesterday, etc) , so you can kind of predict how fast the alternate list is moving
I totally changed my PS. Started over from scratch. but work and activities hadn't really changed much. I added a few and the ones that I will be doing for the next year, but didn't edit old ones really.
Nice! Stats?
I am
.
Are you all waiting to hear accepted or rejected before you submit your 2017 application?
Since UAB isn't giving feedback until sometime in early July for those on alternate list, at least until then

Orientation starts in a month! The final countdown...to see if we get accepted..........
Has anyone on the waitlist sent in a letter of intent? or does anyone know the dean's email address?
any news?
I received feedback a couple of weeks ago and was really disappointed. I was under the impression they would give me specifics about my app. but it seemed very generic.
I have. I got it about a week after requested
Are you a first-timer or reapplicant?
Was it generic too?
It was pretty generic. I'm a first timer. It actually had my MCAT score incorrect because they didn't look at the second one I took? also it was telling me to take biochem, which I already have... so idk...
Losing a little hope here 
IDK, so next week is the last week? Has anyone ever heard of people getting in the week before orientation?
