I was told that there is no difference, there is only 1 list (hold list is the same as waitlist)Hold=may get accepted before 4/30, Waitlist=After 4/30. At this late of the game, no difference.

Totally agree, seems like a great school, but I am also looking to withdraw... I couldn't find an option for it on the portal, did you just email admissions?It was a very tough decision, but I just withdrew my acceptance. Loved the vibe, loved the people, loved the program but you can't go to 2 med schools I hope one of you on the waitlist gets the position!
Thank you ! I interviewed on 03/28, thought it was pretty late.Congrats! When did you interview?

Same, though I heard that merit scholarships are separate from financial aid and get sent out in June.Financial aids was just released; I get only loan .
Withdrew as well. Very hard decision for me.I sent an email to [email protected]
My acceptance packet came in 5 days (3 week days). The letter inside says that you need to submit your 100$ deposit no later than 4/30. Not sure how that works for you since you just got accepted.Accepted yesterday! Any one know how long it will take for the package to arrive? NYC based. Only got the email so far and saw someone posted previously saying deposit has to be in by April 30th?

I was also accepted, and I called admissions and was told to reply to the acceptance email saying I was taking the spot, and then I got an email back with instructions to send the check. She said they want to try to have everybody at least post mark it by April 30th.
Oh thank you for the info! Guess I will see you at the orientation~~I was also accepted, and I called admissions and was told to reply to the acceptance email saying I was taking the spot, and then I got an email back with instructions to send the check.

Good luck!Oh man, I hope they're willing to give me more than 6 days to decide. I'm waiting for one school. Emailed them today to see if I could get until mid-May to decide
Thank you, I will take it. I sure need it !!!Withdrew my acceptance. Hope it goes to those who needs it!
Thanks, I just took the other withdrawal, so will leave this for someone else in need !Withdrew my acceptance. Hope it goes to those who needs it!
There will definitely be a fair amount of waitlist movement in the coming days and weeks. As above, lots of people just withdrew today since it is the deadline to have only a single acceptance, so there will be acceptances off the waitlist soon.Anyone have some insight on waitlist movement here, MSAR info doesn’t really make any sense. Just trying to be realistic about my chances!
Does Penn State accept LOI at this stage, will it be helpful ?There will definitely be a fair amount of waitlist movement in the coming days and weeks.

This is a good questions and I can't definitively answer. I know in general PSCOM is not big on updates in general for whatever reason, and I've not heard of LOIs being successful here.Does Penn State accept LOI at this stage, will it be helpful ?
I don’t believe so. The email they sent specifically said any further considerations would be made based on information currently in the file. Not sure if that includes LOIsAre we allowed to update the school now since it's past the April 30th deadline?
I believe some do. I don't know exactly how many since essentially everyone who didn't get accepted right away was placed on the hold list, but that's just to my knowledge.Do people ever come off the hold list here?
I'm trying to figure out if I should just grab an apartment at my other school

Are they going to notify us if we are put on the wait list from hold or is everyone on hold on the "wait list"I believe some do. I don't know exactly how many since essentially everyone who didn't get accepted right away was placed on the hold list, but that's just to my knowledge.

It would be nice if they provided us with some kind of update.
Do we know how many students they take off the waitlist?The hold list is the same as the waitlist. I called and asked! So if you are on hold after your interview, you are on the waitlist.

Historically I feel like there hasn't been this many people on the waitlist haha
I have a feeling that there’s a difference between on hold and wait list. MSAR says PSU pretty much take everyone from the wait list, and I doubt we (as in people on post interview hold) are all going to be accepted.
Has anyone on the waitlist heard anything?
Holy Moly was there ever a lot of waitlist activity since Friday!
To start, there was a boatload at Vandy, UCSF, Davis, Morehouse and Irvine.
There was also movement at NW, Hofstra, MI St., MN, Wayne, FAU, Columbia, NYU, UCR, GW, SUNY Brooklyn, Temple, UCLA, VCU, Rutgers, Hawaii, Penn St. and Northstate.
I just got accepted!!!! Was on the hold list. This is unbelievable...i am so excited for this school! Have hope everyone
In January!Congrats!! When did you interview?
waitlist or acceptanceDoes Hershey reject after interview or just waitlist or acceptance?
S
I read somewhere that most people get off of the waistlist so I guess that’s wrong
Orientation begins July 10, someone earlier said that white coat is after the first block on medical profession -- July 28 I believeFor anyone who has been accepted, can you please share when the white coat is/when classes begin?
