When do y'all recommend I send a letter of interest to possibly get off the alt list?

 

[OliveMDToBe]

For people who got their financial aid package, were you sent an email or did you just happen to check your portal?

I was also thinking this! I would like to send one as well.

 

[skepticalchymist]

Also wondering when to send a letter of interest to get off that alt list...

 

[TheDirtiestDiaper]

Ya boy is also wondering about LOI timing haha

 

[ahk7]

Im planning on sending it late march/early April because that is when they will sit together to discuss it.

 

[ProjectDocument]

For LOI's, should we upload them to the portal or send them via email?

 

[andrana14]

does case offer any post-interview feedback for those who interviewed but were waitlisted?? and are our chances for an A any higher next cycle if we're on the alt list this year? obviously I would love to get off the alt list this year but realistically I might have to apply again so I'm wondering!!

I was waitlisted at 5 schools last year, but didn't receive a interview invite from any of them this cycle

oh gosh ok. there's that and there's also someone in another school's thread who said they were waitlisted last year and got in without an interview this year so I was wondering where case stood.
I asked about feedback specifically bc I had a friend apply and he got a PRE-interview rejection and I think in the email it said something about feedback...but I think he was a university program applicant so idk if its different for the college program

So some schools defer waitlisted students and automatically accept them for next years class. But very few schools do that. Most schools dont provide any feedback.

[ahk7]

[grape_koala]

Everyone get the email for the update meeting on Thursday?

I did!

 

[DorianDinosaur]

I did!

Is this for students on the WL or students who haven't heard a final decision yet?

 

[grape_koala]

I interviewed in mid-February so I'm not on the waitlist

 

[andrana14]

Everyone get the email for the update meeting on Thursday?

i'm on the alt list and did not get an email :/

 

[DorianDinosaur]

i'm on the alt list and did not get an email :/

Same Can someone who goes to the meeting tell us what it's about?

 

[TheDirtiestDiaper]

i'm on the alt list and did not get an email :/

Uh oh, same here

 

[thrombxane]

I did! I was waitlisted in October. It was very cryptic and talked about bringing us up to date on some new updates

 

[PatchAdamsWannabe]

Oh no, it’s happening again!! Crushed Part 2!!

 

[deleted1093251]

Ooh first wave of post WL accepts?? :’(

 

[chefacl]

Everyone get the email for the update meeting on Thursday?

Got it too. I wasn’t convinced it had anything to do with WL movement, but kind of interesting not everyone got the email??

 

[vitafusion]

I'm trying to not get my hopes up too much. It's a pretty cryptic email so it could mean absolutely anything. I was waitlisted on Oct 15 fwiw

FWIW, the email is identical to the Zoom one they send out for acceptances. So it could be a good sign!

 

[Lifeblood_20]

Anyone interviewed in late February got the link (who has not gotten any decision)?

 

[actom]

Anyone interviewed in late February got the link (who has not gotten any decision)?

interviewed late February and got the email this afternoon!

 

[Lifeblood_20]

interviewed late February and got the email this afternoon!

Ah ok, I guess it's alt list or R for me then. Congrats!

 

[chefacl]

Yeah waitlisted on Oct 15 as well. Manifesting good news

 

[Odd_Korean]

Uh oh, same here

+2 was WL in October..

 

[POTUS_Biden]

So if we didn't get this email that's either a WL or R then? That's really disappointing

 

[Lifeblood_20]

Yeah, seems like it from past trends.
Interviewed on the last day FWIW, on 2/26, no email today.

 

[PoopyScoopy]

did those of you who got emails after being WL send updates or letters of interest or intent?

 

[thrombxane]

yes

Seems like everyone who got the email so far was either a February interviewee or an October WL. Did you all send letters of intent? Congrats btw! I'm nearly certain an email is a good sign.

Sorry for any misunderstanding, I was quoting someone else who was waitlisted and didn’t receive an email haha 🥲

Whoops that was my mistake! no worries!

 

[premed6373727]

Was waitlisted in February but didn’t get the zoom email. Did anyone on the WL (not from October) get the email as well?

 

[SurgOnc1d]

I was WL in September, sent a letter of intent, and got email. Not sure if it means anything

 

[viralhiker]

Lol god dang it. I came into this thread to see what my chances of coming off the waitlist were. Now I see that they're holding another one of these cryptic invite-only meetings. Since I did not receive this email, again, I will assume I'm probably going to be rejected.

I really am not a fan of how the "admissions dream team" handles these decision releases.

Yeah I agree this style of communication generates much unnecessary anxiety. I much prefer when a school straight up lets you know a decision date and time of the day and update the portal/send the email right on the clock, regardless of your admission decision. OSU has been the best out of my schools in this regard.

 

[Rheopecty]

OSU

I heard UVA does a good job too. Same week decisions.

 

[justanotherapplicant]

I heard UVA does a good job too. Same week decisions.

yeah UVA's awesome about decisions. you can interview on a Thursday and get a decision the next day literally, since they release at ~11am every Friday. probably more feasible bc of a lower volume of apps

 

[SurgOnc1d]

I really don’t think this email means anything guys.

 

[viralhiker]

I really don’t think this email means anything guys.

Why would they send only certain waitlisted applicants, along with some recent interviewees, an invitation to a special “update meeting?”

 

[andrana14]

I really don’t think this email means anything guys.

Idk it wouldn't have meant anything if everyone on the alt list got it but only a few people got it so..
but I mean I hope you're right cause I didn't get this email loI

 

[medthottie]

Does anyone know the max amount of scholarship aid they provide this year?

 

[treesarefrends]

Does anyone know the max amount of scholarship aid they provide this year?

At one of the presentations, they said it ranged from 2k-37k if I am not mistaken

 

[grape_koala]

Why is this sus zoom meeting only 15 minutes long??........

Only takes 15 minutes to tell us we've been waitlisted?..
