Nooooo. I’m not sure how I could have worded that more clearly, but my bad. I’m referring to what an adcom has stated on this site (an adcom here) and then I went on to say that I believe the person I’m referring to is gyngyn (but I could be wrong).

Woke up to an email from my top choice yesterday morning. I thought for sure that it was an acceptance, but all it said was they will be pulling people from the WL in May.

I hope you do get that acceptance e-mail soon because that opens a spot up at the school I'm waitlisted at 😆

probably because I had no idea who gyngyn was and I thought you meant you believed they were wrong. no worries

Tried to take a nap before work and was woken up by a call with the same area code as the school I am waitlisted at... It was just a telemarketer. What a cruel joke.

Those telemarketers are the WORST when you're hoping for the best phone call of your life

I'm not really expecting anything until this Friday or the next couple of weeks/months but I am keeping my eye out on the school specific threads for updates.

I think we are more likely to see movements tomorrow rather than today but that still doesn't help me not constantly refresh every tab open on my computer.
I hate this waiting game. T_T

An adcom here, I believe gyngyn but I may be wrong, said that the 4/30 deadline is no longer enforced by AAMC, but is now merely a suggestion. Schools however can stipulate their own guidelines about 4/30. If schools are clear on this I don’t see why they couldn’t offer an acceptance now.

AAMC is just giving their recommendations and then throwing their hands up as to say that the responsibility relies on each respective program to outline their specific policies. The problem is that not every program is giving specific guidance with specific dates on what they expect their applicants to do with the “choose your medical school tool.” This is based on what I’ve seen on the forum.

Yup, totally agree. I’m sure things will be clearer in future cycles. The schools are figuring it out

and the application portals. This is what I did when waiting for II's and now waiting for waitlist decisions too. I hope we hear back soon!
 
Somehow my phone's connection to my email got corrupted and for about 5 months I've not been able to fix it. I *could* go in to the Apple Store, but I've been putting it off bc it has truly become a blessing. Otherwise I'd be compulsively refreshing hahaha
 
I am waiting for the email to confirm my interest in my waitlist school. Then I will join the constant-portal-refresh club until I get that A or until too much time has passed and I commit to another school. Just keeping myself busy in this forum otherwise!
 
I just got an acceptance call! I'm amazed and overwhelmed and honestly a little in disbelief until I get my acceptance email (hopefully today otherwise I might go mad). This is my second time applying and I wasn't expecting my favorite program to even give me an interview let alone this great news. Thank you guys so much for all of your positivity this cycle. I wish you guys the best!

Is it me or does everyone posting on school-specific threads seem to have merit scholarships? How common are they?
Click to expand...
lol i've noticed this too!! I'm thinking that maybe gunners are more likely to post on SDN to humble brag. Whereas if you didn't get a scholarship you are probably not posting about that.
 
Received an email survey from my top choice asking if I’m still interested..

Definitely don’t need to be concerned. It was clear. They just misunderstood. No big deal.
