Did you email or is there a place to do it on the portal?

 

[NotTheButtons]

So like what's the deal with this email? Sent to a fellow applicant completely out of context- pulled from r/premed.

Sounds like they used the wrong mailing list to advertise their SMP and are apologizing for doing so.

around how long did it take you guys to get a decision back?

 

[plsletmein2021]

I'm expecting to hear back between April 15th-April 30th. March 15th was the date that schools had to send their acceptances for all their available seats. There will likely be a lot of waitlist movement in April and May.

so does that mean that if I haven’t heard back after sending my vita last month I’m probably on waitlist lol

I can't give a definitive answer. I'm really speculating. I would say they probably haven't voted on your application yet.

Just got the virtual tour and connect with a student ambassador email!

Me too, is everyone on the waitlist getting this? I’m wondering if it means something good. Just a sliver of hope.

I’m in the same spot and I’m confused

I submitted VITA in late feb and adcom said they are hopeful to release decisions by end of March.

 

[lala0997]

Just withdrew from the WL, good luck to you all! <3

 

[aspiringdoctor9701]

I was complete early November, still crickets after secondary submission.

 

[plsletmein2021]

Damn I got put on the Alternate list :/

 

[premedxpremed]

alternate listed... again.. 509 MCAT, 3.9 GPA OOS sigh 3rd waitlist FML

 

[aroga16]

How accurate is the "we view applicants on the alternate list as having a strong chance to gain admission"?

same lol

 

[bluelikestars]

Has anyone tried calculating the match rate here? Looking at the official list from this year, I speculate that it's upper 90s-100% as there were around 190 matches and the classes are around that size.

 

[holdthemayo]

In case anyone didn't get a chance to see it.

Here is our match list for this year

 

[premed2211999]

Wondering the same thing!

 

[lumya]

Wondering the same thing!

I would say RFU has decent waitlist movement. If you look on MSAR, the accepted MCAT/GPA differs from the matriculated MCAT/GPA (513/3.74 vs 512/3.66). I think this signifies that a lot of accepted students might end up getting offers at other schools and turn down their spot.

 

[levitatorSn2]

Has anyone actually received a post II rejection on here? I swear literally everyone has been placed on the alternate list.

There have been post II rejections earlier in the threads.

It's in the 90s. Def not 100%
But nobody outside of admin gets the real match % numbers because they do weird calculations with them.
The 190ish that matched this year includes a fairly sizeable number of folks from the class of 2020 who stayed back a year, either deliberately for research, or because they didn't match last year. We had 20-something folks from 2021 who decided pre-match to take a research year because of COVID/competitive goals. We also had somewhere between 30-40 people who SOAPed, and I know at least 3 who still ended up with nothing, plus a whole bunch who only have a prelim year lined up.
But the % will be calculated with just 2021 peeps who participated, and the number that had any slot on Friday, via Match or SOAP. So, at the end of the day, mid-to- upper 90's% matched. Which is a number that does not quantify or account for a lot of other factors.

Does anyone know when they send us the link for the virtual tour and info sessions after we register for a date? Also does anyone know if the times they list are central time?

Hi, I got my link about 3 days before the virtual tour and the times were listed in central time.

Also reporting bias

For anyone who has already participated in the virtual tour- was this more formal or more casual of an event? Did you have your cameras on/ dress business formal? Thanks so much!

It was pretty casual. Just a presentation by a current student and then a Q&A session.

Some people turned on their webcams but others didn't and it didn't seem to be an issue either way.

Sorry to bother you, but do you mind if i ask how long it took? I have a commitment about 2 hours after it starts and am just wondering if i need to reschedule that.

You should be fine. It won't be longer than 2 hours, and if you need to leave early because it somehow goes longer, you can do so.

 

[MDhopeless]

Withdrawing my acceptance here. Best of luck everbody!

 

[sports215]

Soo when are we hopeful for any sort of WL movement?

[Earthworm Slim]

Any idea of how many people were on the WL and how many people were taken off of it? Realize this may be impossible info to have on hand

I have no idea how many people end up on the waitlist. But a lot of people in my class were waitlisted before being accepted.

 

[Pound4Pound]

Just withdrew my acceptance. Good luck guys!

 

[PlzLetMeIntoMedSchool363]

waitlist movement has already begun!

 

[TedDrewes]

waitlist movement has already begun!

Why do you say that? Just because someone withdrew or did you hear something?

 

[aroga16]

waitlist movement has already begun!

Based on past years they don’t really start till late April early may unless you heard of someone getting off. Just bc an A was withdrawn doesn’t mean movement has begun quite yet

 

[PlzLetMeIntoMedSchool363]

I was accepted off the waitlist on Tuesday

 

[lovepickles]

got off the WL! LM 74

 

[mdhopeful99]

Accepted off the WL an hour ago!!! Interviewed September, WL December.

 

[WildCat75]

Wow there is a lot of WL movement today. It sure seems early. Really hoping something happens for me soon!

 

[quickaskz]

Withdrawing my A, hope it goes to one of you! Good luck
