I interviewed in October, they took 4 months to get back to me... they waitlisted me in February, then accepted two days ago 4/28.

Rosalind Franklin is an incredible medical school! With 16,000 applications to make the waitlist is an incredible accomplishment. There is a lot of waitlist movement, with another batch of acceptances sent today. Some in receipt may have attended RFU if they were accepted earlier in the cycle, but if they have another acceptance now may decline admission. With an average 511 MCAT for admissions, they are selective stats: (517, 3.8 GPA). Hang in there, remain hopeful. What is the email address for ADCOM, or how to decline in the RFU portal. anyone know?
 
Is there a withdraw button or do I have to email to withdraw my acceptance? I can't seem to find it on the portal.

So is RF only taking enough people off of the WL right now to have filled the class? Does that mean to get an A now will require someone with an A at RF to get off of the WL somewhere else and withdraw from RF for them to send out any more As since everyone with more than one acceptance would have had to decide on only one by now?

I withdrew my application about a week ago and it still shows up on my portal.... is everyone else having the same issue?
 
If you emailed admission, they probably know that you withdrew. Try emailing admission again just to confirm? Maybe they are not bothering to change it

I’m wondering how accurate them saying people on the waitlist have a “strong likelihood” of gaining admission is. Statistically, if they have ~190 seats, being a lower yield school they should give out around 600 As, and they interview less than 800 people, so it sounds right, but I know a lot of people including myself are waiting to get off the WL

Does anyone have an idea of how big the waitlist is? Like of the ~800 interviewees how many are rejected post II?

How do we know they interviewed less than 800? MSAR?

Does anyone know about financial aid at this school? How often are scholarships awarded to accepted students? Cost of attendance is sooo steep.

Just got off the WL! Interviewed September, WL in January. Now does anyone have advice on deciding between RF or Southern Illinois? Should the big cost difference deter me?
