Do have a friend of a friend who got rejected post interview this cycle.
Also alt listed.
Same!
My number/email/address hasn't changed since I've applied so I;m not doing anything
got the same email as well.
Don't think so. From what I remember, everyone who was on the waitlist gets offered a spot on the alternate list.
Yep!
Has everyone on the waitlist received an e-mail about information update?

Withdrawing my acceptance. Hope it goes to one of you guys on the alternate list!
I thought you got the email?

Has any other accepted student noticed that their slu.edu account has a Firecracker tab on it? Does SLU pay for a Firecracker account for each student?
Edit: For those who are curious, apparently SLU is providing Firecracker for their students starting this next year.

Is there a deadline to accepting the financial aid offer? I didn't get any scholarship but got offered options for loans
Yeah we got Firecracker this year. The administration works in conjunction with Firecracker to provide us some quizzes that go hand-in-hand with our course. This is the first block (neuro) that they have tried it with.
We also get UWORLD provided to us next year
I just read in the old post from last year that they’re sent out in batches. And if you got one when people first posted about it you’re most likely in the first batch and therefore higher up
That was two years ago. Last year, everyone received the waitlist update at the same time. This year, nobody complained about not receiving the update on 16th. So I guess they no longer send the notifications out in batches.
Probably tomorrow
Withdrew my acceptance yesterday.
Best of luck to everyone!!
Best of luck to everyone!!
Admissions said they started the process when i called two days ago. Now I’m thinking she meant they started to meet about the alternate list
Isn't it a ranked list? What more is there to do besides sending out the emails in order as spots open up??
Probably they need to rank everyone first.
I didn’t want to peeve admissions with too many questions at once but i have no idea !

It should be ranked. The email I got asking if I wanted to stay on the alternate list said: "As you know, your file is complete and the Committee on Admissions has assigned you a position on the alternate list." Doesn't that mean they have already assigned ranks? Or is that just them telling me that my assigned position is simply on the alternate list?
Holyyyyyy i totally skipped over the “has assigned you a position” part.
I called them a while back about the alternate list and they said it was a “static” ranked alternate list. I assumed that meant they ranked us and our ranking wouldn’t change over time. But who knows lol
I think were getting closer to them cracking the code for us haha
Does anyone know what the "miscellaneous" fees for first-year ($6,670) covers?
Just called and they said theyve started to pull people off
So probably there are people off the waitlist, but they are not on sdn.
That seems to be the case
Well, I need to get a grip cause I read that and hoped that maybe they have pulled people off in a figurative sense and not yet sent out the emails, which is (obviously) illogical. Thank you for checking btw!
I saw couple new people added to their facebook group this week so they probably accepted people but those people probably don't post on SDN
Maybe there are significantly fewer spots this year - reducing the odds of someone on SDN reporting being pulled.
Shoot I hope not haha

FB shows 185 and that includes 5 Admin. So if 180 of those finally going to SLU then do the math. They have 177 admitted last year as per MSAR.
Then at this point were just waiting for some of them to be pulled to go somewhere else lol. I guess we'll see some movement in a week or so.
Hopefully some of those already moved to other schools and forget to let the admin know that they are gone.. so they can be removed from FB.
Yeah that’s what someone posted last month
Can't decide whether the slu threads from previous years are a good indication of what movement will be like this year or not - so far it doesn't seem that way, unless spots are freeing up more slowly than usual. Just gonna blindly say that maybe next week will be better for us sdn folk. Have a good weekend everybody!
