I never got any email from this school 🙁

Do you guys think being accepted to a DO program classifies as being "accepted elsewhere" ? Thanks

 

[LegendaryPunk]

Wait listed - no e-mail notification

 

[Mr. Shelby]

I also just got the alternate/waitlist notification, the waiting game continues

 

[futuredoctorthetodd]

Waitlisted as well with no email.

 

[mcatjelly]

Also on the alternate list but with no email.

 

[golfman7]

Alternate listed as well and pretty excited that I wasn't rejected.

 

[futuredoctorthetodd]

Let's hope the waitlist data from MSAR is accurate.

 

[onemoreweek]

Wait that wait list info looks super promising lol can't believe there's only 100 with 75 accepted??

 

[nairopil]

I hope that's accurate, but it doesn't seem consistent with what various people were told.

Which of you outgoing individuals wants to see if you can squeeze that info out of admissions? ;-)

I'm wondering the same thing

 

[golfman7]

I'm wondering the same thing

I think they only want to know about MD acceptances because DO schools use a different application service and aren't part of the AMCAS traffic rules.

 

[froggystyle]

Waitlisted and then withdrew. Has anyone been rejected post interview?

 

[bisonbison]

Waitlisted with no e-mail.

 

[nairopil]

Waitlisted and then withdrew. Has anyone been rejected post interview?

Also wondering this. Any post interview rejections? Or are the remaining 600+ of us all on the waitlist.

[Newtonmd]

Yep, rejected post interview.

 

[clathen]

Also waitlisted (no email). Check the portal for status update.

 

[doctorgrey623]

Waitlisted and then withdrew. Has anyone been rejected post interview?

Yup, no email but checked my portal this evening and had a rejection awaiting me. Not surprised, by far the worst interview of my whole life and anything other than a rejection would not have made any logical sense whatsoever and would shatter the validity of the entire interview process. Best of luck to everyone waiting for a decision!

 

[jammi24]

Waitlisted this evening

That is what I am wondering. There seems to be quite a number of us on the waitlist.

 

[golfman7]

Probably, it's just that people rejected post interview don't want to post here.

[Aubrey Graham]

Wondering the composition of the waitlist, OOS and IS as well

Might call this afternoon

 

[Beyoncelover4013]

Just chiming in... also on the waitlist, OOS. Didn't get an email yet. Waa, but I guess it's better than being rejected!

Please let us know!

 

[Aubrey Graham]

Please let us know!

Just called them...they said that they don't disclose wait list information...

 

[nairopil]

Not surprised... If only they would understand that we don't really want them to give us waitlist info... we just want to know whether they disclose it to MSAR, or if that info was fabricated. 😛

U right I'm gonna try that!

 

[minitelemaster]

Waitlist as well, OOS. Excited to still be in the running.

 

[TheWaitingGame123]

+1 OOS, no email. Congrats and good luck to others still in the running

 

[vantheman]

Judging how many people got put on the WL on this thread, much more than 100 people got put on it... So I don't think the MSAR information is accurate

 

[mackkdad]

You're on the waitlist, you're on the waitlist, everybody is on the waitlist!

Lol! That's what it seems like!

 

[DKMA]

Does anyone know if it is good/bad to be on the waitlist when you have another acceptance (since they had that survey to indicate which category you fell under)?

I've been accepted elsewhere, but I still want to be on the waitlist here

I have no idea, but also curious... I can't imagine it's good. :-/

It could be good because it shows that you do want to attend the school, or bad because they want to help as many people they interviewed as possible to get in somewhere.

Or perhaps they are just using it for data, tiebreakers, or advertising for their CERT program

 

[XxThaDoggxX]

Status update just now, officially waitlisted (IS).

On a bright note, my last interview today went really well.

 

[Finally made it]

Waitlist email at 15:39 OOS.

Why do they need to know if we've gotten in elsewhere? Am I the only one who thinks that should have nothing to do whether or not we get into VCU? I don't want to be put on a separate waitlist because I've gotten in somewhere and they are trying to help others who haven't gotten in anywhere get an acceptance...anyone agree?

 

[Finally made it]

Also, they did mention there is a separate waitlist for IS vs OOS. Maybe MSAR means that it is 100 people per list?

I do agree with this, but as someone with no acceptances currently I need all the help I can get 😛

But for the people that have been accepted to clearly higher ranked/schools they want to go to way more, quit playin' and hop off this train, I need a seat!

Hmm...but if they don't know the school that you got accepted into, then they aren't differentiating between those who got into a better school vs those who got into a worse school. I know what you mean, though. This is my 4th year applying!

 

[AvrgPreMedKid]

Waitlist. No email. IS. 7 months of silence since my interview in August lol. Couldn't even email me to tell me I'm on the WL. Just feel slightly not cared about.

 

[XxThaDoggxX]

Hot damn, you deserve this on sheer determination alone. Best of luck.

 

[timau]

I think they ask if you were accepted elsewhere because people holding multiple acceptances have to decide by April 30. I think it's just to see who they should continue to contact after April 30.
