Do we think that April interviews are just for waitlist positions??

Do we think that April interviews are just for waitlist positions??

I hope not, that would be pretty messed up.

 

[evn2020]

Overall, I had a good experience but my interview was definitely not perfect. I fumbled my words here and there and definitely talked a bit too much at certain points. However, the interviewers were very kind and responsive and two weeks later I got accepted! So definitely just be yourself, let the conversation flow, and have some solid questions prepared because you have around 10 minutes to ask. Also, review the ethical questions that people have submitted on the CCOM SDN because I had one from there and you will most likely get one.

Thank you so much! How many questions did they ask and how many minutes did you have to answer them? Did they give you the questions beforehand or as you go?

Those that interviewed in April, when did they say decisions would come out for you?

By first week of may.. though it will probably be a WL

Did they say it would probably be a WL or why do you think that?

I was just assuming based off all the previous posts. April 30th is the MD deposit deadline though so maybe we will have some acceptances from the April interview

 

[Drsecondchance]

Hi guys! I just relinquished my seat here. It was a very difficult decision, as this was one of the first schools to interview and accept me, and the first I really fell in love with, but I got into a state MD program I really love which is much cheaper. I hope one of you gets this seat and gets to become an absolutely amazing physician here! Your program looks phenomenal!

Has anyone received their financial aid package yet?

Pre-reqs are now showing up in applicant checklist - from previous posts I believe this means an incoming WL.

Which date did you interview? Nothing on my end from 4/7 interview

Nothing on my end from 4/12 interview either

 

[Min_21]

Maybe we will hear something later this week or next!

 

[Pieceofmindthegap]

Interviewed 4/13 and I see prerequisites. So if you don’t see those, then it’s probably good news soon!

I see prereqs too but mine never disappeared in the first place. They have always been there.

That’s very strange. I only see applicant checklist with required documents/exams

[premed_person]

Does anyone know when historically they start accepting people off the waitlist?

 

[DrSeashell]

Alternate list. Interviewed 4/6

 

[mls251]

Waitlisted, interviewed 4/13

 

[Yikes234]

There it is, waitlisted and interviewed 4/12 on a Monday. My friend interviewed the same day and was accepted though!

 

[Pieceofmindthegap]

I have a question about pre-reqs and waitlist... if I’m missing pre-reqs should I take the pre-req over the summer at a community college? With the hopes of getting off the waitlist?? I didn’t realize how “required” the requisites are.

 

[devnurav]

I want to say yes to WL movement because I believe they interview significantly less than other DO schools especially.

 

[sciencegirl4655]

Interviewed in December, got off the waitlist yesterday. Will not be taking the seat, hope one of you get it!

[Arthur Morgan]

Going to withdraw my A from here, hope it goes to one of you all!

 

[fosho24]

Just withdrew my A, best of luck to those on the WL!

 

[catsarepotatoes]

For everyone getting off the WL now or in the recent past, would you mind sharing the date of your interview as well?

 

[tempaccount]

Does anybody happen to know how they determine who to call off the waitlist? Is it by the date you interviewed? Or stats based?

 

[mls251]

Accepted! Interviewed 4/13, WL 4/26

3.5 cgpa, 3.3.science, 511. I just finished another semester of classes though and sent them my transcripts last friday, so that may have something to do with it!

 

[DrSeashell]

Will be withdrawing my waitlist spot. Got an instate MD acceptance today!

 

[forschoolpurposes]

Does anyone know how many people are on the waitlist? And, historically, how many get accepted off the WL?

The number of people on the waitlist seems to be unknown. Midwestern usually has a decent amount of WL movement but it varies from cycle to cycle.

 

[Ozymandias D.O]

Seems like WL movement is coming soon based on todays email asking people for updates or to withdraw if no longer interested..

 

[forschoolpurposes]

When did you get that email? I didn’t receive it

 

[Ozymandias D.O]

When did you get that email? I didn’t receive it

0932 Chicago Time from the director of admissions. Did anyone else get it?
