1/24 here and I've heard nothing. Approaching the 7 week mark for us.

 

[Gshah97]

Yeah I assumed 8 weeks was the maximum time frame so that they could have some leeway with replies. The admissions office told me before I left that they would really push the faculty if it got bad.

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 gap year job just eliminated incentive-based pay, so some good news would be REALLY welcome.

 

[Gshah97]

Yeah i’m getting pretty nervous too haha

Were you IS or OOS? I’m sorry to hear that

OOS

So all non-essential employees will not be allowed on campus. I just got the notifications....so would I be able to call the admissions office to just see if this means a delay in the process? I’m only on the sixth week.

 

[mdtobe061]

update: I called them and they were still reviewing materials. I should hear back end of next week or early the following week. Interviewed 02/07

Got the acceptance call this morning! I am so excited and in disbelief. I am really going to be a doctor! (Interview 2/21)

Sometime in April

 

[unableavocado919]

Does anyone know how many people UW typically put on their waitlist?

So that was off the waitlist?

 

[mdtobe061]

Got WL. Interviewed 2/07. Does anyone know if they really do take people off of the WL?

[Lawyer101]

[Asteroideyes]

No I wasn’t on the waitlist

 

[Cultivating_Brainz]

Anybody get their financial aid yet?

 

[chocopeanutbuttercup]

Anybody get their financial aid yet?

I wish. :/

 

[chanel_coco0]

Hey guys!
Does anyone know/have suggestions for housing near the school?

 

[btj287]

Has anyone/is anyone considering withdrawing their UW acceptance for another school?

 

[chocopeanutbuttercup]

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

damn you got yours? did it come in the mail?

 

[chocopeanutbuttercup]

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...

 

[btj287]

Anyone know when the ranked waitlist comes out? Thanks!

 

[Gshah97]

They said late April in the email, so I’m hoping sometime next week.

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.

 

[chocopeanutbuttercup]

How/when did you receive financial aid info?

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!

 

[geebsmke]

Just got an email that I’m no longer in consideration (waitlisted 6 weeks ish ago)

 

[aayz345]

+1
Waitlisted in November, OOS

 

[nlg87]

Secondary Received! Prompts are the same as last year. IS cannot submit until August.

Would you please share the secondary essay prompts?
Thank you!

 

[btj287]

I just called admissions and they’re hoping to have the ranked waitlist on Monday

 

[mdtobe061]

Waitlist rankings have been sent out

 

[crepuscular.ray]

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)?

 

[mdtobe061]

I think that there's a separate waitlist for IS and OOS. I'm also IS

 

[Gshah97]

Yes, I just got my waitlist position as well, OOS.

 

[Gainz MD]

Is there a good chance for an offer if you are in the single digits on the OOS list?

 

[chitown19]

On a similar note, does anyone know how many people are on the OOS list?

 

[aspiringpharmacist]

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.

 

[Cowabrungus]

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????????
