That’s how i imagined it should work since for the most part people are waiting on a higher tier WL
go back to your shanty as punishment for jinxing us
Yep. Looks like were waiting on a mixed bag of those people as well as those who have not narrowed down to 1 per 4/30
I got added to another wait list today, so there's some movement in the wrong direction!

I think it's all over the place because it's the first year that AAMC is putting all the enforcement on the schools. I'm sure it will be a lot smoother in the future.
In a system based upon looking out for one's own interest (among all parties) without any uniform rules, it is what is to be expected sadly.
Absolute silence from all of my waitlists after reports of calls from the 1st to the 3rd. Hope quickly fading.
Sorry to hear that but as people get off waitlists at other schools there may be more acceptances trickling in. Hopefully you’re high on the list

My waitlist still hasn’t had any movement, should I panic now or panic in ten minutes
Sadly, I can no longer see anything.
Because there is no clarity regarding who is likely to matriculate, I don't even know what is happening at my own school!
This gives me hope
It sounds like adcoms are just as frustrated and confused as us with some of this
I think some of my wl are not moving yet bc schools don't have enough information to act on to protect from overaccepting. Historically there has already been wl movement from them at this point as a high portion of the class comes from alternates.
Also at least one school is enforcing very early commitment deadlines to protect themselves while others may be just waiting and seeing if applicants withdraw or commit more. Yet if a school doesn't make decisions, that might affect applicants from making decisions and it creates delay for everyone.
I hope schools are strategizing how to organize and prepare to make the future application cycle more efficient, because it seems aamc isn't willing to put itself on the line. Not that I truly know what's going on behind the scenes but it's my speculation for some of my silent programs. I think there does need to be more strict policies to protect schools and applicants and make this less of a headache for everyone
Funny thing. This is some of the best news i have heard in 8 months.
You are correct. Without reliable information, all we can do is wait.
so several people seem to be intepreting his comment as a positive, but i could see that being negative as well. can you explain why you think that is good ? is it a no news is good news type of thing ?
Aamc has paralyzed some of the decision making and it may create a more than usual game of national musical chairs as everyone aims to make the best possible last minute decisions based on individual policies. Maybe that can create some less than usual acceptances compared to previous years as time runs out I'd imagine but this process is crazy.
Congrats! School?
I think it is good is because silence just means there is minimal/no movement because adcoms are paralyzed due to being in the dark due to lack of info.

Didn’t this happen all because a kid didn’t get into Yale Med School and brought up a lawsuit? And AAMC decided to discontinue the traffic rules?
I bet he’s still a virgin.
The schools were sued for their undergraduate early decision programs.
Doubt it tbh. The waitlist pool is generally as impressive, homogenous, and lengthy as the accepted pool.

Oh ok. I was referring to this one:
Federal court rejects antitrust lawsuit challenging medical school admissions tool
Federal judge's ruling in medical school case outlines when antitrust could apply to admissions, and opinion could help with scrutiny some are facing over early decision.
Soooo... you’re telling me that UCLA still needs time for their waitlist movement? *wink wink*

UCLA has a less than 30% post II acceptance rate *wink wink*
Yes! That one was rejected without trial...and yet we are all still suffering.Oh ok. I was referring to this one:

The EDP suits are mentioned in the piece.
If anything is messing with UCLA's waitlist management, it is the regrettable and poorly timed loss of Dr. Hall.
I’m still a virgin.

Homophobia has no place in 2019
I think he just resigned?
Ok, maybe I panicked. Can't find anything online.
I’m flattered, but I’m saving myself for my first colonoscopy.
Sorry, that was poorly worded!
He has lovely boy now.
That should take his mind off this hot mess...
