All of mine are in my signature, but you have to be signed into a computer (or looking at the full glory of SDN to see it). I've attached a screenshot in case you can't see it.

Hi everyone! For anyone who has moved off the waitlist thus far, did you send an LOI? And if so, when? I sent in an LOI right after I was notified of my waitlist status (March), but sadly this was when COVID-19 pandemic began which caused some sort of mix up. After a lot of follow up they've just now added it to my official file a couple of days ago :/

Did you call and ask about your LOI? I sent one but never got any confirmation

I’m assuming at this point that I will not move off the waitlist so I will reapply and hope that the fact that I was put on the waitlist this year will improve my chances for next cycle

Glad you’re not giving up!

Did you apply late last cycle?

I'm in the same boat 🙁 not sure how much longer I can hold out!

Same! Don't lose hope. I looked at previous threads and saw where people got in later but I'm considering visiting the campus since I haven't gotten a clear answer yet. Idk if that is too extreme but I need answers ASAP... I'm gonna let them know my circumstance so that maybe they will listen and tell me what is going on with my application. Time is running out!!!
 
I have been ACCEPTED off the waitlist. As mentioned earlier in this thread, I sent an extensive resume, letter of intent along with supplemental information describing my clinical hours, research, awards, etc. I also visited the campus and let them know about my situation. I think that in this situation you have to be vocal and state that you're qualified along with having the willingness to go the extra mile to show your interest in the school. Closed mouths don't get fed... good luck to everyone on the waitlist! I hope this can help. I live right outside of DC so making the drive wasn't too bad for me. It seems like they're having some difficulties with managing the waitlist as well so it's super random. I'd say it's worth the drive.
 
Hey did you go to the school recently? I thought it was closed because of COVID

Hmm ok. i have friends at HUCM and they said the students aren’t even allowed back to the school because of Covid and the school is locked
a lot of the admissions committee are working from home.
I’ll try to go see if i can talk to someone this week

I was persistent being that I live nearby and I was lucky enough to be able to see someone. Like I said, this was my personal experience and I am putting it out there for people who were in the same situation as me. If it's not worth the visit for you then by all means don't take any advice from me.
