Yeah they said that 8 weeks was the max and if you haven't heard by then, only then should you call.
Has anyone heard whether there is a chance Second Look might be cancelled? I'm contemplating buying a plane ticket.

My question was answered on the Facebook group, it's cancelled.

My gap year job just eliminated incentive-based pay, so some good news would be REALLY welcome.
I just got the R. Interviewed 1/31. What a bummer. I really loved this school on my interview day.
Were you IS or OOS? I’m sorry to hear that
OOS

Does anyone know how many people UW typically put on their waitlist?
So that was off the waitlist?

Is anyone else's financial aid package... confusing? Hesitant to share details on here, just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

Email. But like... it wasn’t helpful info. Ugh. Hope yours comes soon! The waiting game for full info from schools is rough.
I got waitlisted early January but then got the acceptance call 2 weeks later so there is hope!

Thanks for the response. I’ll wait and see for a week. I’ll send them an email if I don’t get it.
I submitted my FAFSA in March and the website didn’t say I needed to submit anything else...
Never mind. UW doesn't include grad plus loans on the financial aid awards since you need to apply to cover the rest of the COA with grad plus. The way they sent out the initial award was confusing since it only included the max amount of fed unsub loan you can borrow annually as a med student, suggesting that they weren't even offering enough loans to cover COA. That is not the case.
Friday by email. As long as you submitted FAFSA 2+ weeks ago, Emma Crawford who handles med school loans said you should have received that email. I would get in touch w her if you have more questions!
Would you please share the secondary essay prompts?
Thank you!

Just got my ranking, IS. Does anyone know how many they usually pull, or if there's an just one waitlist (some schools separate IS/OS)?

On a similar note, does anyone know how many people are on the OOS list?
just got my waitlist rank. I applied IS but I don't think they separated this year (IS/OOS).
Does anyone know how many they have waitlisted/ where to find waitlist information? The email says they have pulled up to 30 off the waitlist so I'm assuming they only have one.

I didn’t see anything about “up to 30 people” getting pulled off the waitlist in the email I got as an OOS, so perhaps there are two different waitlists.
In the email with the rankings, they say, "In the past five years we have offered a place in the class to as many as 30 alternates and as few as zero. Each year is unique in the final formation of our incoming class."
I think they made a mistake, though. I'm not #1????????
