For the people getting off the waitlist in May/June, do you think it'll be hard to find housing or roommates? Right now I'm obviously just praying to be in that position but if/when that happens, I feel like the next steps will be v rushed and stressful!

Take a look at Zillow/any other apartment place online. Low key housing is so, so cheap in Hershey. Also, the on-campus option (I think) has lots of open spots still, as many people utilize it.

Wowza I am so nervous every time I get a phone call! Looks like the FB group has 170 members so their class is full but I'm sure there will be more movement.

The groupme only has 90 members, too!

EDIT: I feel like most people do join class groupme's as opposed to Facebook, but let's say there's a minority that doesn't - maybe around 10-20? That still leaves 50-60 potential spots? or am i buggin

Last year there was movement on Mondays and Tuesdays along with Thursdays and Fridays, but it looks like this year is just the latter?
 
anyone with no current acceptances on the WL? trying to be optimistic but it's definitely disheartening.

Hey, das me lmfao but don't worry! One of my other WL is finally seeing some movement so I expect PSU to be the same? And it's only the second week of May!

I'm with y'all.. waiting is incredibly hard, especially with graduation looming and not knowing what's going to happen next.
Let's hope we get some good news soon <3

Aight folks, let's hope this week we hear some good news! That truly could not have been all the waitlist movement immediately after the April 30th deadline.. so maybe good things are coming? :)

IDK if it helps, but my friend who is a M2 at Penn State said that she was waitlisted and didn't get an email until May 19th. I'm optimistic for this week, but this year has been hella weird so who knows.

I guess it makes sense there was no movement :( it looks like they only really did Thursday and Friday, and later on included Monday and Tuesday. And it WL ending, maybe it'll go a little longer this time cause of COVID? It looks like they didn't accept the entire class yet (just using GroupMe and Facebook) and if people got in while also being on other WLs, maybe they'll pull out of Penn and go to another school that they wanted more?

or maybe im comforting myself lmfao

I sure hope it’s earlier bc I can’t take this suspense anymore 😂 I saw somewhere that they finalize the class June 15th but I can’t find that source anywhere now, and who knows how COVID has affected the timeline

Can’t take the suspense either :( Isn’t their a date where medical schools can see what other schools their waitlisted applicants are also on WL for? This is the only school I’m waitlisted for so fingers crossed man.

I think they can only see once a person has planned or committed to enroll elsewhere.
 
No movement today on the groupme either :( but it looks like the last reported WL acceptance was June 10 last year, so there's still hope :)!

Nope after the call I checked the portal and nothing had been updated. I just got the official email though and then checked the portal and it has now been updated!

So HAPPY FOR YOU!!! Do you mind me asking when your interview date was? Wondering how they went about WL ranking for individuals who interview later like feb/March.

Also — emailed admissions, and they said that their waitlist could hypothetically stay open for as long as it takes to fill the class.
