Just a quick change of topic, but does anyone know of any WL movement...it seems like it's been so long and there has only been one person who got off? That seems a little low...I'm just worried, as I'm sure a lot of you are D:

I emailed admissions last week and they said that there has been some movement and they expect it to really get going over the next 2-4 weeks. Most people don't use SDN so the numbers you see here can be a little misleading. Only thing we can do for now is keep a positive mindset and hope for the call! Good luck to everyone else still on the waitlist Everything will work out the way it's supposed to!

I’ve had similar concerns. Not sure if movement hasn’t really started in earnest or it has and the people getting off just happen to not be on SDN. Nothing much to do but continue waiting, I suppose

It's just so unnerving and this is my last hope for getting into medical school this year. I am just always stressed and cannot seem to think about anything else - any suggestions on how to take my mind off of this? It seems even worse and more stressful due to being quarantined

I’ve just been trying to stay busy: work, reading, running, board games with mom have been my go-tos, personally.

Same here. Anything to stay busy and keep my mind off of it. I've also taken this time to clean out my room and sell some of my old things on eBay. I've been plowing through Atul Gawande's books the past two weeks (10/10 recommend for everyone if you haven't already read his stuff). Any other good book suggestions? Doesn't have to be medically related.

Thanks! I'll add those to the list 👍

Is anyone coming up with things to do for the gap year, in case medical school doesn't work out? Or have you started working on the new application?

With this pandemic I really don’t know where to begin in looking for a job but if I don’t hear something this week I’m going to start working on the new application next week...

Got the call earlier today... ACCEPTED!!! Such a great call from the admissions committee. I couldn't see myself at any other school. Stay positive everyone, the waitlist is moving. Your hard work will pay off! 🙂 👍 It's GREAT TO BE A MOUNTAINEER! I can't wait to meet you all!

OOS, very strong ties to WVU. Feel free to PM me if you want!

Thank you!! 🙂 Around 4PM (Central time) yesterday! Still pulling for you too!

Does WVU reveal any info about waitlist position/standing? Trying to think back to interview day but can't remember if they discussed it at all. Congrats to everyone accepted off of the waitlist recently–– hoping to join you here soon!

They said it was unranked! There is a committee that does a full reevaluation as spots open up!

Did you by any chance submit any letters? I'm OOS but no ties to WVU so slim chances I feel like :/

I have been in contact with admissions since my interview in the Fall. Sent a letter of intent around April 10th. You might as well shoot your shot with a letter! What do you have to lose? 🙂

been pretty quiet on here recently... where the WL movement @?

Seems very quiet. I think people just are not posting on here....I would love to believe that a lot of movement has not happened yet, but it seems more realistic that people just are not posting about it. This has been my first choice for two cycles now....in-state...placed on waitlist last fall. Keeping our head up is all we can do!

From what the admissions office is saying most of the foreseeable waitlist movement will happen next week, but the class is full. There might not be anymore significant wait-list movement

Keep in mind that although some schools have already had heavy movement, for the most part waitlist movement across the country has been very delayed. Some of these students in the class right now may be holding onto to many WLs that could turn into A's very soon! I doubt we will have any heavy movement here but I'd expect 4-6 minimum will be pulled off from the WL

Asked about waitlist earlier this week! Said there has been some movement on the WL and anymore would most likely be next week but wl will be open till school starts. They were understandably vague and I personally wouldn't hold my breath for a sudden drastic shift in wl movement.

I am so confused as to why they would say that they expect it to be next week...like I would assume it would be either early May (right after the April 30th deadline) or Post May (after the 31st deadline)...weird

 

[Loves puppies]

the MSAR does say that they expect ~50 WL acceptances...and since there haven't been too many posts on here, maybe there's still around half of that left? idk tho. I don't know anything other than how to stare at my phone and hope for a phone call that more likely than not won't happen lol

 

[Mstern16]

I withdrew my OOS acceptance today, wishing everyone the best of luck!

 

[wvphilliesfan25]

I read on another forum once that watching the numbers in the group facebook pages is not always the most indicative since some people in groups can hold multiple acceptances, or have chosen not to go there, but it definitely went up over the course of today, which probably doesn't bode well for those of us on the WL. Good luck to everyone

This is true. Also people from other classes are becoming members so they can help others out and sell things if they're moving etc. WVU class of 2023 has almost 200 members with a class size of 112 i think. Always staying positive!

 

[Loves puppies]

Has anyone else contacted the office this week? Seems like no one here got pulled off the WL and supposedly this was the week 🙁

My guess is they are consumed with providing an online graduation. Next week seems more likely to me. But that's just a guess.

 

[CatDad26]

I reached out to them early in the week was told they’ve actually has substantial movement for the last month! surprised as no one has posted on here. maybe only IS movement?

 

[wvphilliesfan25]

IS here, no call, sadly. I think I read somewhere they try and replace those that decline acceptances with like applicants. I don't know if that is a fact or not though.

IS as well..no love at all with a letter of intent back in Nov

 

[ddddds]

Seems like most of the major waitlist movement has happened, guessing there might be a few stragglers but for the most part its set

wish they would just tell me to move on already haha

 

[Loves puppies]

I know right!

 

[CatDad26]

I bet WVU has a deal with the airlines and nearby hotels lol.... adcoms and admins get great rates on their flights and hotel accommodations for making all these OOS applicants fly in and interview just to WL them and not take any 😕 im telling ya its a joke, looking at their OOS post-II acceptance rate they're really just wasting our time and crushing our hopes

 

[aww]

accepted off of the waitlist! oos but from a neighboring state, interviewed in early dec and waitlisted the week after! sent a letter of continued interest a few months ago.

That's so exciting!!! Congrats!

 

[docrose]

sent an email to admissions yesterday.

received this reply:

Our waitlist has seen considerable movement over the last month. While we expect a bit more movement, we cannot predict how much or when it will happen.

im OOS with no ties so my hope was little anyways but still feeling sad lol

Hi friends,

I'm a current WVU M2. I like to browse the cycle forums every so often to offer any advice or answer questions id needed. 🙂

Just as an fyi, WVU has been known to pull people off the waitlist into June and July. Granted that's only 1-2 people occasionally, but it does happen. Our summer camp/orientation typically starts the last week of July, and the curriculum the first-ish week of August.

It's not the end of the world if you don't get in this year! I would reapply to WVU again next year. WVU does try to make a class of nice people, and our class at least has an anti-gunner mentality. A majority of my classmates really do try their best to help each other out, which is apparently rare amongst medical schools lol.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the info - hoping and praying.

[loopybasket]
