thisAn 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.

they're just referring to gyngyn as an adcom, not themselvesthis

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).
I hope you do get that acceptance e-mail soon because that opens a spot up at the school I'm waitlisted at 😆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.
probably because I had no idea who gyngyn was and I thought you meant you believed they were wrong. no worriesNooooo. I’m not sure how I could have worded that more clearly, but my bad.

Those telemarketers are the WORST when you're hoping for the best phone call of your lifeTried 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.
Hello all. This day, and by extension, all the days in the month of May are going to be torture. Please excuse me while I scream.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I Have No Acceptance, and I Must ScreamPlease excuse me while I scream.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
haha this got me good.I Have No Acceptance, and I Must Scream
I hope you do get that acceptance e-mail soon because that opens a spot up at the school I'm waitlisted at 😆
Which school is that. I can tell you if I withdrew my acceptance or not. Feel free to PM if you’d like.
Today I got two phone calls, and one of them left a voicemail and I nearly had a heart attack. Imagine my chagrin when it was actually just a reminder voicemail for an upcoming doctor appointment
excellent usage of "chagrin"
that's an SAT word =)excellent usage of "chagrin"

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
Just found this thread. I am currently on 5 wait list and I am hoping to get off at least 1 of them. Good luck to everyone!

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
They really messed up by not setting a deadline.

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!and the school specific threads.....and this thread.....and I compulsively check my phone......
yay neuroticism!
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
Two of my three WL schools have already had extensive movement. More than at this time last year. Nothing for me though.. 🙁
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!

Hold strong it’s still the beginning of the wave. Also those accepted might not even matriculate there and leave their spots vacant.
mad people getting pulled off the waitlist at my Top choice and all seem to be accepting the offer. panicking now.

Thank you! I will stay strong, and this forum helps. I’m rooting for all of us!
How do you know this? Im just sitting here and its radio silence...mad people getting pulled off the waitlist at my Top choice and all seem to be accepting the offer. panicking now.

This is worse than the curse of the black pearl
You guys. I GOT THE CALL!! This was my third app cycle. Had one DO acceptance but was really hoping for my state MD because its close to home and way cheaper. Cannot explain how relieved I am. Hoping all of you hear good news soon.

Yay!! Congratulations!
congrats
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!

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.Is it me or does everyone posting on school-specific threads seem to have merit scholarships? How common are they?
Received an email survey from my top choice asking if I’m still interested..
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).
Definitely don’t need to be concerned. It was clear. They just misunderstood. No big deal.
