Waitlisted friends...any idea about movement from last year? Interviewed December.

Based off what some current students have told me as well as SDN from last year a lot of movement happens early May

 

[seattlerain]

Waitlisted here as well. Interviewed 1/17

 

[Marr97]

Got that waitlist, interviewed 1/13. Just glad to hear some kind of news back.

 

[doctorsleep249]

Waitlisted, interviewed 1/27, completed August 1st. In state.

 

[wannabMD123]

[electronslide]

[deleted962695]

[Medsthetic]

after accepting waitlist, does portal say Decided

 

[Medsthetic]

I would try and be optimistic, but trust me I know it's hard. I was complete for UNC at the end of July too and heard back from them last week! Their cycle looks like it runs really late each year. I hope you hear back soon!

Oldjoe97 is a top tier applicant don't let him fool you. he's lived through several generations and mastered Haman completely. unc had no option but to accept

 

[p4m123]

Wait listed. Just got the email. Interviewed 10/28

 

[doctorsleep249]

after accepting waitlist, does portal say Decided

Yes mine says decided after accepting WL

 

[ThirdTimestheCharmPls]

+1 to the Wait List. Good luck everybody

 

[TryingToStayOptimistic123]

Waitlisted, interviewed 1/27... here goes the prolong agony of waiting

 

[Medsthetic]

Thats a big ass waitlist... I'm gonna guess 200 slots give or take

 

[deleted962695]

According to the interview spreadsheet, UNC accepts a total of 172 applicants with 151 matriculants. Does this mean only 21 people get accepted off the waitlist?

EDIT: This is in-state date just to clarify. For out of state, there is a total of 62 OOS applicants accepted, with 30 matriculants. So I am guessing 32 people get off of the waitlist if OOS.

 

[Medsthetic]

Probably

I’m still trying to wrap my mind around having waited for 5 months only to find out I need to wait for atleast 2-3 more months. Lollllll #whatislife

 

[lunarwater]

WL as well. I know they do not know how volatile this year will be, but previous year's data would be helpful as a baseline though.

 

[TryingToStayOptimistic123]

You really think around 200? That’s a lot.... I mean 600ish kids interviewed, around 200 accepted... so they’re waitlisting 50% of the remaining 400?

I mean in the email they bolded fact they won’t tell us anything, so it looks like we have plenty of time for evaluating our odds on here and I’m all for it

 

[weekendwarrior14]

My boyfriend also got the waitlist email today; he interviewed early Oct
edit: in-state

 

[u_raptor]

Just got the WL. rip

 

[SurgProtector]

Does anyone know how many people have interviewed, been accepted, rejected, or waitlisted so far?

 

[Medsthetic]

at least 150 accepted, im gonna guess 100-250 waitlisted, the rest Rejected?

 

[prayigetaccepted]

Probably
Yes

I thought this meant how many people are accepted vs those who actually choose to attend, not necessarily those offered WL

Started a waitlist poll

UNC School of Medicine Waitlist 2019-2020

Hi everyone, lets start a poll for those who are waitlisted. I imagine everyone wants to gauge activity and membership in this group.

I think it's slightly different. Correct me if I'm wrong:

Those 21 IS students who were accepted decided to go elsewhere, hence 151 IS matriculants. Thus, the IS yield would be 151/172 = 88%. OOS yield would be 30/62 = 48%.

These yields seem kind of high tbh.

Class size would be 151 + 30 = 181 given the data above.

I believe you are right.

Yeah idk how y'all are getting those numbers but they're not right. UNC accepts a little over 200 outright. Unsure how long the waitlist is, but I've heard that they made it longer this year.

so do you think more people than 21 people got off the waitlist?

I don't know where @anotherpremedlurker got the data from- just referencing that. Also, based on that data, the total accepted would be ~230, which isn't far off from 200.

What is the class size here? I just can't imagine the yield being so high (70%+).

Edit: I guess it can be that high, especially for IS students.

so do you think more people than 21 people got off the waitlist?

I personally think so, but that's just my opinion. I'm just surprised if they only accept 250 people for a class size of ~180.

 

[tri99]

Interviewed with faculty 9/13 and still awaiting decision. Hard to believe if my decision were a baby we would be close to entering its third trimester

Well ladies and gentleman, it's with great joy that I can announce with my waitlist acceptance my decision will come full term

 

[icedcoffee17]

Also WL, interviewed 12/02

Remember that a lot of post-II applicants have already been rejected. And aside from those that do not post on SDN, many that do understandable choose not to post.
Staying optimistic!

 

[aspca]

Has anyone been accepted since Monday?

 

[blacco]

US News says the following (presumably last year data, although doesn't say):

Total accepted: 267
Total enrolled: 190

In-state accepted: 198
In-state enrolled: 152

OOS accepted: 69
OOS enrolled: 38

This suggests that ~50 people came off the waitlist (assuming they fill the class entirely before making a waitlist). It is also possible that they fill the class 90% or so before making a waitlist which would mean more coming off the waitlist. If they increase the class size this year, we might expect even more than 50 coming off the waitlist.

Godspeed to you all.

This is super helpful and I do not want this to get buried, so people please vote if you have been waitlisted!

 

[ThirdTimestheCharmPls]

So does anyone know when they start to accept people from the wait list? Just as people decline their offers of admission? Or do they do it in waves like normal admissions?

 

[prayigetaccepted]

Previous threads have said the waitlist is unranked... is that true? Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing tbh

So to answer my own question, on last years thread no one posted about getting in off the wait list until April 29, then several more within the next few weeks after the mandatory decision date of April 30. So looks like we’re in it for the long haul team

 

[p4m123]

It might be unranked but I find it hard to believe it’s random. Maybe they evaluate waitlisters as spots become available?

 

[deleted1025690]

I’ve been told it’s based on how similar the WL applicant is to whoever decided to withdraw their acceptances. Not sure if that’s in termS of stats, experiences or demographics but I would assume a combination of the 3.

 

[anxious4]

Does anyone know when we should expect to hear back regarding financial aid and scholarships?

 

[waiting.for.tomorrow]

For the scholarship application did most people fill out the "additional factors" section? I'm not sure if they are looking for an essay or just something specific related to one's financial situation.

I sort of read the info from the listed scholarships and wrote a few sentences that connected to those.
