Does anyone know how accurate the MSAR waitlist data is?

What does it say?

MSAR says that Foster took 8 from the Wait List and Texas Tech took 10.

Does movement start around mid March?

Has anyone been able to get into contact with the Office of Admissions? I had a couple of questions regarding the admissions checklist, but I haven't been able to get in touch with them since late last week...

stats of those accepted?

 

[md4sure!!]

stats of those accepted?[/QUOT

LizzyM Score is 72
3.8, 515

 

[Ullr09]

Would a current student mind sharing when we can expect to receive our student loans? Beginning of June? End of June? July?

 

[md4sure!!]

Any second years here to shed some light on how the school is preparing them for steps, given the step scores were lower than national average last year? The couple of first years I spoke to hinted the lectures were not worth attending. I am having a hard time deciding if moving to El Paso is worth it or not?

Is your alternative OOS?

Both, Baylor- IS and a few of the OOS. I need Baylor to show me some love.

Thanks!! As hard as it was to resist, I didn't call them prior to this. I did send a LOI to Dr. Schydlower a couple of weeks ago. I emphasized why I feel I am right for the school, and said if I was offered a spot I would take it. I'm in state btw.

congrats guys!!! would yall mind sharing your stats/LizzyM? I'm slowly losing hope for myself lol

 

[Dockta]

I believe there is still time for movement by looking at the previous years' threads. However, plan B should be initiated :/

 

[Umyo]

Just Accepted!!!

Congrats!

Did you send in any updates or make any phone calls?

 

[ChocolateE21]

I did not send in any letter of intent or anything. I did not update my grades either. My lizzy M was a 65. But, I don't think that really gives an accurate depiction of me. I am a very active person in my community and on campus which has given me a lot of really great experiences to talk about and reflect on. Also I am not an URM.

Some people have withdrawn their acceptances from what I've heard, so don't let go of hope yet.

That's good news! How do you know this?

Just posts I've seen on the Facebook page for the class. I would say get started on plan B, but don't lose hope quite yet.

Stuck on the waitlist on still hoping I have a chance
