Are the waitlist acceptances being sent at 630 PM or are they at random times?

I got the email at 630 but I have also read of people checking their portals and finding the update without getting a notification so you might want to check it regularly

I'm not sure but looking at past years threads it looks like the OOS WL moves pretty fast until late May or early June with some people getting in July or August.
 
Does anyone know if the INOVA cohort is full, especially if you indicated this as your first choice on your secondary?

I haven't been accepted but my understanding is that they don't officially select that cohort until the school year starts.

Thanks MCATJelly - I saw on the VCU FB group a message about a cohort email sent in April. Hope it is not finalized.
 
Ok I was accepted early April, and I submitted everything almost 1 month ago. Why do I still not have my VCU eID?- the applicant portal says that it only takes 5 days to process. Do I need my eID for access to anything important or does it not matter I have not received it yet?

I have also not received anything in the mail for a formal acceptance packet/financial aid. Does anyone have more information on this?

I received my eID recently. It was visible in the application portal under Matric File Status. You need this to see any financial aid awards, from my understanding. To do any of the pre-orientation things, you don't need it.

Do you know when financial aid packages will be made available to us?
 
Is there really suppose to be a lot more waitlist movement? The official 2020 fb group already has 199 members..wonder if the class is already full or pretty much full 🙁
 
Every year before last year I've heard a good portion of the class is from the wait list. Almost all my IS friends got in via wait list. Last year most of my friends IS were wait listed and took a spot somewhere else since it took so long. Could have changed the algorithm and now on they mostly take the kids who will stay. Who knows.

Yeah...I didn't get in anywhere and this wait list is my last shot for this cycle...

I guess I am done this cycle if their fb 2020 is indicative of a full class

Oh well...it was a good ride!

What about OOS?
 
Oy no acceptances yet. Has anyone reached out to VCU regarding reapplying right away or what to improve on their app?
 
Just a heads up - a lot of people in the official 2020 group are M2's. For example, there is a fb group called "VCU SOM Accepted Students Class of 2020" with 148 members
 
I spoke with a friend of mine that is IS and has applied before. He got in this cycle in October. He basically told me to not hold my breath for WL movement IS and to just prepare for reapplication. So, that's what I'm doing!
 
Reapplication right away means cramming for the MCAT because mine will
Be 4 years and too old
