Dr. Callahan said WL movement has not happened yet but it will happen. This was just confirmed for me by my advisor who said there may be weeks before there is WL movement for SKMC.
Any insight as to why it’s so delayed?
I didn't ask, but Dr. Callahan referenced their CTE date + COVID.
Thank you so much for sharing the info!
What do you mean by the CTE date is so late? Isint it actually relatively early compared to other schools?
Yikes. Perhaps Dr. Callahan was just being nice...
yeah ive been ignoring slow changes in numbers but 6 new members in one evening seems suspicious hahah. my friend said maybe MS1/2s finished any exam or something and joined after bc now they have time. Gonna try to be optimistic
If we’re going to believe what Dr. Callahan said about no movement yet, the new members have to either be already accepted students just joining the group now or current students who found the group and have joined to share housing info or get the latest scoop. People underestimate the amount current students who join these FB groups, it can be hundreds in some school’s groups.
I have been accepted to another school, but I fell in love with SKMC at my interview. I would highly consider going if accepted off the wait list.
7 of the 10 most recent people to join the Facebook group (who have joined over the past 2 days) are current SKMC students. The 3 others had strong privacy settings so had very little information come up when you click on their profile, slow they could easily be SKMC students as well. I can't emphasize enough that virtually every post on there is a current SKMC trying to sell their apartment contract or find a roommate haha. I think what y'all heard from Dr. Callahan is the best thing to go off of! It seems that the waitlist movement is slow in a lot of schools this year for some odd reason, but more movement will surely happen in the future. Hopefully sooner rather than later!
I just got my first acceptance yesterday! I'd be super happy to go to the school, but I am secretly holding out hope to get into Jeff because it is my clear top choice. I will probably hold out for a few more weeks before I fully commit to the other school.
I was accepted to SKMC and am in the top tier of a couple of other waitlists, one of which I would possibly choose over Jefferson if I got in (like 75% chance in my mind). I'd love to give one of you my spot if I get into the other school! If any of you are holding on to a U of Colorado acceptance and would rather go to Jeff, kindly withdraw your app so we can get this thing moving!
There are ranked waitlists that are disclosed to the applicant?!I was accepted to SKMC and am in the top tier of a couple of other waitlists, one of which I would possibly choose over Jefferson if I got in (like 75% chance in my mind).

Yes, many schools will tell the applicants which tier they fall in on their waitlist (top, middle, or bottom tier). I have heard of some schools even telling the applicants their exact position on the waitlist.
Both have benefits I suppose, but I almost prefer ranked vs unranked.
EXACTLY. Given how many students on the HPWL, I can't imagine that it is truly unranked? Otherwise, acceptances would literally be random.
Well, I think each school has an idea of what they want their class to look like (a diverse class, people from different backgrounds, experiences, etc.). So having an unranked waitlist allows them to fill vacancies more specifically. The 3-tier waitlist is nice, though! At least I have some type of a gauge on what my chances are of getting off.
Ignorance isn't bliss.

lol I love this idea of swap your medical school tool
I feel there would be a lot of regrets, tears, and law suits...
AAMC already has me in tears every other day
I think at this point, its really up to the committee. Dr. Callahan doesn't have the power to make these decisions or shift around the WL before more movement happens.
I wonder if this sent to students who officially committed or those who for PTE?
Isn’t it a 270 person class? That’s what MSAR says.
I'm PTE at another school and am receiving emails like this, so I would have to assume its PTE & CTE students
Jeff doesn't discriminate between the two. I've been PTE since February and I'm on two other waitlists and Jeff is treating me like I'm coming. It was sent to our Jeff emails as well
Woo!! May still not mean there are 51 seats open due to all of those programs, but that’s a lot of hope!!!Also checked Jeff’s website and they take 270!

I'm only PTE currently at Jefferson because I am waiting on another waitlist and I received this email.
That might change this year due to Covid?Also checked Jeff’s website and they take 270!
Selection Factors
Doubt it. I've always heard that the class size was 270, so I'd expect that!
If the PTE + CTE = 219, they still have spots open and could take people though!
Right, that's what makes me think they might take a fewer amount of WL this year.
Did someone from Jeff tell you that? (To not expect WL movement until 6/30?)
