Looks like their post says they interviewed in mid-December

3-4 weeks, although that was in the fall
has there been any acceptances recently? Or are most people just getting WL at this point
One person posted that they were accepted off the WL last week. That's the only acceptance I've seen reported on this thread since December.
waitlist, interviewed 2/7/2020
yes
Trying to be optimistic and hope that they are basically WL-ing everyone right now and that there will be a lot of As to come in the future.

WL top third.
im sure they’re not waitlisting everyone. Might just be a bit harder to secure that A now compared to interviewing in October.

Two thirds of the class comes from the waitlist.
Do you mind sharing your source on that? I've been looking for info on that
Do they tell you where in the list you are? I was waitlisted just now, Interviewed 1/31 and it just said i'm on the waiting list. Anyone know if we can send anything in or we can only wait? I sent in my letter of interest already post II.

You can call and ask where you are in the WL, but the office is probably closed for the day.
For anyone curious, I just looked through last year's thread and there was a little bit of WL movement in mid March, some in April, and a lot in May.
Thank you. I called and found out i'm in the top 3 of the waiting list. Can anyone explain how movement happens? I'm trying to see if it's worth it to stay on the list
I’ve heard this multiple times on this thread too. Does anyone have a source for it?

Call and ask what percentage of the class comes from waitlist. Thats what I did!
Current student. I don't have exact statistics, but from conversations with the admissions office and anecdotally from talking with friends, I know that a large portion of the class comes from the wait list. Maybe it's 2/3, maybe it's half, but it's certainly a large percentage.

Got the R like two days ago. OOS interviewed 1/29
stalked the virtual fair today and they said they pull some people off WL throughout the cycle, but most movement happens after their cycle ends which is the end of March
What's the virtual fair you're referring to
AAMC Medical School Fair , you can still sign up and log in today. it ends at 8PM today
Does anyone know how many applicants are placed in each tier?
69-420
I doubt anyone but someone on the Adcom would know the exact number, but I remember reading that about 100 students are in each tier. They really try to match the candidate who withdrew their acceptance.

Admissions quoted about 100 per tier on the day I interviewed

So if 2/3 of the class comes from the WL, that's 100 people. This would imply that most of the top third gets off the WL (with some variation for IS/OOS, and the way they match candidates off the WL to the people that turn down their A)

To my understanding, that's how the waitlist process works!
Congrats! When did you interview?
I interviewed back in November.
is it safe to assume there's more WL movement for OOS?
That's what it sounded like based on last year's thread
Generally I think yes bc as I understand it, they try to pull people off the WL who match the demographic of someone who dropped their acceptance (so matching OOS for OOS, because they like to keep somewhat the same ratio of OOS to IS people in the class). And since more OOS people are likely to drop their acceptance than IS people (since IS people want to stay close to home, it’s cheaper, etc), therefore more OOS people come off the WL to fill those spots.

End of march based on past threads; double-check for accuracy
Do you think they’d be receptive to some update letters if you’re still waiting for an II?

I don't know as I straight up got an II; you can try as I'm aware that EVMS is open to letters.
P.S.
Your living situation mirrors mine --> U.S. citizen living in Vancouver, BC; sucks sometimes bc you don't have a state school to apply to
I think you could try as it never hurts to shoot your shot. I know they are pretty good about communicating over the phone.
Yea, Ontario schools have been brutal 🙁
So I'm trying my luck with the US. Might have to come back next year lol!

II received this morning. Complete early Sep. Dates available 3/25, 3/27
Can April come sooner?!?!
FYI, I'm on the waitlist now. They say to send updates to the EVMS admissions email address as a PDF or Word attachment, and, of course, include your AMCAS ID. They say no more than 7 updates, but hopefully you aren't sending that many to begin with...
Incoming classes are P/F.
