Just looked, and last year they had movement starting on 4/23, 5 days after a similar email was sent. Maybe we'll hear something before 5/1

Gotta find new ways to be neurotic

 

[UCharisma]

Is there another post other then this one where people communicate concerning this years class ?

 

[wintersnowmen]

any chance anyone on here knows if there's an estimate of WL numbers for this past years admitted class? or a rough ballpark of what to expect?

 

[sasquatch123]

if i've already submitted a letter of interest (post alternate list notification) in January, and then an update letter in March - is it advisable to submit one more? or probs not because its a ranked waitlist anyways? any guidance would be helpful!

 

[brownskingirldoc]

I withdrew my acceptance today. Best of luck to everyone!

For those accepted, does SLU call or email for acceptances?

 

[roosebolton99]

Either or, though if you're interested in an academic job later on and want a lot of research experience, WUSTL would be the one to go to. They have more resources and connections that can get you into papers and presentations more readily than SLU can. Research at SLU is hit or miss -- you really need to look up your PI beforehand to see how prolific they are, and if their pubs historically include other students/residents on them. Research is definitely something you can do year-round or focused on the summer. It depends on what you hope to get out of it and how gung ho you are about completing the research. I say that because I've had experience working with other SLU med students that jumped onto projects and pretty much piggy-backed without contributing much except for attending meetings.

Thank you! With the option of WashU research that makes SLU a lot more appealing

One heads up is that because of the epharmix stuff that happened, WashU has made it much harder to just start up there. You have to either be paid or receive credit

 

[jetdoc]

Just withdrew my acceptance, good luck to all the waitlisters!

 

[weebleweeble]

Can any accepted international students (including canadians) who are planning on attending pm me? its about the escrow... thanks!!

Wait whatttt how are those linked?

Major IRB issues (epharmix) Part speculation, but WashU instituted those changes soon after it happened. Still possible to do research there, just not as easy as it used to be

Did you send any LOIs or updates?

 

[Firestar1181]

Per email from our dean, research was done without IRB approval. Don't know if it ever got resolved after that email though, I haven't heard anything about them since.

 

[UCharisma]

Does anyone know how late they stop sending People Acceptance Emails from
The alternate List. Like do they stop after business hours ?

 

[brainreducio]

Did you send any LOIs or updates?

No updates or LOI!

 

[TheHumerusDoctor]

Maybe this was discussed already but does anybody know about how big the WL is vs. how many they accept? They seem to be kinda secretive about it lol

They probably sent out a big burst last week. We probably won't hear back for a while/unless people withdraw.

 

[drluckythetaurus]

will a letter of interest/intent here have any effect on the WL since its ranked ?

 

[rdyotz]

I got accepted today. Interviewed 2/25. OOS, LM 70-72. Veteran. Hoping to receive financial aid info prior to deciding (1 week).
