I believed that was what they implied when they said that there has been a little bit of movement on the waitlist! So they've started offering a few acceptances to people on the waitlist, but not too many! They think they'll be offering more at a slightly faster rate after today.
Officially withdrew today. Hope it goes to one of you guys.
This school also has good WL movement compared to others, so stay hopeful!
Thanks for posting this and for withdrawing in a timely manner! It makes us on the WL more hopeful for sooner movement.

My friend who was in middle 1/3 of waitlist was accepted 3/29. I’m top 1/3 and haven’t heard anything. Do they not go in order when pulling?
whaaaaa...whaaat:/? All previous years threads have indicated they go in descending order from top>middle>and bottom third
Did he send in a LOI or anything of that nature?
I sent a LOI before my interview and was placed top third..so I don't think that should have made a difference
Yea from what I’ve been told a LOI doesn’t really contribute, I’m just trying to figure out how the middle 1/3 person heard before a top 1/3 applicant.
Yea from what I’ve been told a LOI doesn’t really contr
MIND BLOWN.
like the attitude...lets roll with it
congrats! but only 24 hours? damn..
Congrats that is super exciting!! around what time did you receive the call?
Thanks! And yes, that's what I was thinking...
I got the call around 1:00 PM EST
24 hours is short, pretty sure by rules they are required to give 5 days.
I knew the window would shrink as they got closer to the start of classes, I thought it was a rather quick turn around as well... The initial offer via phone/email asked for a response within 24 hours. After that, they send over the acceptance packet/contract, which I then had 5 days to sign.
they are not required to do anything by AAMC, those are suggestions only, schools are free to determine their own times as they see fit. (WSU chose a short time, but they end up taking a large portion of their class off the waitlist)

am i the only one having a hard time keeping faith 🙁
It’s not easy waiting but it’s all we can do. Just have to stay positive and believe there’ll be seats for us who badly want to attend.
the 5 days is not a thing, I know the people in the admissions office well. AAMC sets recommendations for time frames, which work great if you take less than 8-10 people off of the wait list. WSU does not use those time frames however, you get 24 hours to accept your position
Fingers crossed this is our week!
Anyone else baffled by the lack of waitlist movement compared to last year? At this time last year they were starting to pull people from the bottom tier...
This is the first year with the new traffic rules. It makes sense that they are being more cautious. I know they’re working on figuring it out though.
What are these new rules people keep talking about? Are committed students just not releasing their seats? Which part of the system is the bottleneck?
Just wanted to give my two cents...it must have something to do with the new rules. I’m a currently accepted student, but I’m also waiting on three waitlist decisions, none of which have said a word to anybody yet (and have also historically had waitlist movement by now). The same confused conversations are going on on those threads. Believe me, if I get off the waitlist at the other school, I would be happy to give up my spot to one of you deserving people!! Just gotta play this waiting game unfortunately 🙁

I'm kinda in the same boat. Waiting on two schools I've heard nothing from (wait list, rejection, or otherwise), but would likely give up my spot at BSOM if I get in at either school.
I think schools have been slow and careful this year with the new rules to see who will "commit" vs "plan" to attend, and then after that, see who drops off their waitlists before starting to fill from it. Wouldn't be surprised to see people pulled off waitlists up through July.

here you go for the new traffic rules everyone is talking about
I think they are still in the top tier. It seems as though there hasn’t been much movement.

People from the top 1/3rd havent heard yet?
Seems like it because it’s possible a lot of people who are going elsewhere haven’t formally withdrawn yet. If I get the call on July 6th I’d still be on the first flight to Dayton! Haha... hopefully sooner though.
