Kinda creepy lol
So are bivalve remains, but we can all be friends here
Sorry if this was already addressed, but how exactly do the traffic rules differ this year from last year's? Did they not have PTE or CTE deadlines last year?
Go back about 5 pages & read the explanations 🙂
Is there a list anywhere of the T20 CTE dates?
2018-2019 "Commit to Enroll" Deadlines
This thread was suggested so that applicants can view this information in one place so let's see if we can compile a list. Please feel free to make additions and corrections where necessary. Selecting "Commit to Enroll" at a school means that you're agreeing to communicate to your other...

I am thinking the same. If no movement at all occurs and all PTEs become CTEs because they were not accepted elsewhere, then this cycle is really just over because of an endless stalemate
Thank you! Wayne State and TCU & UNTHSC
I think this is correct. Not sure how the AAMC didn't see this coming
I am also on a DO waitlist. What school was it?
I see you haven't met them.

According to the “help me decide” threads, movement is still coming
No, that’s only true if each and every applicant is only holding one acceptance right now which is not realistic.

Oh nice! I'm waitlisted at VCOM - Virginia. Best of luck!!
Nice. I know from friends on the wait list there they have been moving. Good luck!
Seeing the threads start up asking questions about THIS cycle is the most stressful thing! People are moving on. Take me with you!

I am probably putting too much faith in the good of humanity but I assume most people are not doing this. Could be very wrong though...
I currently know someone who is holding THREE haha. And is PTE'd at one school, but has not withdrawn the acceptances at the others. No consequences yet, and has received word from all schools that this situation is okay until the end of June.
Schools are contacting their students and asking them to PTE/drop multiple acceptances. I feel that this cohort is a lot smaller than we are imagining it.
The problem is that for now, it seems the general trend for schools is that half of their accepted students are CTE, and half PTE. They don’t know what the PTE students will do.

It's been unsettling quite lately....
It's depressing

It is! Especially when you see movement in your specific school threads but you haven't heard anything yet.
Like, did they accidentally skip over my name on the WL? 😛 This process is such a downer

In previous years, schools did not have PTE. In effect now they can read the mind of the student and see they are waiting on a potential waitlist opening. Most of those students are not getting off those waitlists so schools are going to have to treat a PTE as a probable CTE
I agree. There’s no incentive to be the first school to take people off the WL and it comes with a massive risk.
Almost every school is full of PTE.
We need a few brave schools to risk over enrollment
Has anyone here CTE'd to one school and then been accepted by another school afterwards?

That should never happen, you should have emailed the schools and withdrawn from them as soon as you selected CTE.
Someone mentioned CTEing to school A after getting in and then getting a full ride scholarship offer from school B. I think they still chose school A though
Someone on another thread had withdrawn and CTE'd to a school. They then had Seton hall call with a full scholarship even though they had withdrawn.
I haven't CTE'd anywhere yet. I have PTE'd at my second choice school and withdrawn all other acceptances. Unfortunately, I am waitlisted at my dream school and my dream school's CTE and my second choice school's CTE are the same day. My dream school advised me to not withdraw my application if I don't hear back by this deadline so that I can still be accepted by them.

Jeez, I guess the trenches are muddy
So poaching is still a thing?

Some schools are following guidelines, while others are making up their own
so does amcas allow these acceptances to process then if the school chooses not to follow the guidelines?
@gyngyn
Why do you believe that movement will happen in June? I get that some schools are concerned about PTE applicants, but none of these students will leave if everyone remains in a stalemate.
As far as I know, there doesn't exist a large gap where some schools are not at least full of PTE applicants.
Does it have to start with a few neurotic admissions officers who jump the gun?
My theory was based on the belief that cautious admissions officers would over-interview and under-accept.
If, in fact this did not happen, the stalemate will continue until mid July.
AMCAS has completely abandoned its oversight authority.
oh...so should I just do what the school tells me to do and ignore amcas?
The traffic rules that have governed our behavior for decades have been eliminated.
Poaching was always acceptable behavior (up until a student matriculated at another school).
that sounds sketchy but i guess i'll do it
