It really seems like they are... No interviews in February, right? Does that mean all of us March people are next...

Omg were there really no Feb interviews?!?

I'll go back and check but I could've sworn there weren't.

I just went to the 4/30 page and it looks like only one person reported having an interview on 2/15 so maybe they were just fewer that month? Very interesting!!

I think you're right. I also just went back and seems like there were some in late Feb too. Who knows tbh

There definitely seemed to be less than every week though. When I signed up in Jan there were only 3 dates available: 2/8. 2/10. 2/15.

Thank you for sharing! I saw one date end of Feb as well from someone in the thread.

[nikfikimiki]

Where did you "learn" this? I highly doubt it tbh

A med student I talked to on interview day told me this over this past weekend — waitlist is ordered by “scores” but who knows honestly

Damn I hope it’s not chronologically because I was 1/20 😅😅😅 I wish there was a concrete answer of how the waitlist works so I can have some sort of idea what to do with my life lmaoooo

Maybe it’s worth giving them a call?

Yooo I feel this 😭 and i was October so if it’s chronological I wish they’d have just sent the R

I was interviewed early Jan too. I was hoping Admission can give WL a better grasp on where we stand especially if there is a score that they are looking at

 

[floridaheatkills]

Somebody call!!!!!! Please hahaha

If you do, ask if waitlist movement happens in order of interview date or whether or not the list is ranked. PLEASE

I didn't call but the list is def ranked internally, but just like other schools, they won't release info on it :/

I agree, they definitely have some way of ranking everyone (hopefully holistically rather than by MCAT or GPA) ... I wish they would at least tell us how big the list is and like what quartile or half of the list we fall in 😂

Nothing today? 🙁

lowkey i don't know what Penn is doing... is the groupme somewhat reflective of the number of people who've accepted a spot? if so, they only have 111 people in it...

I have no idea :/ given that the CTE is June 22, I'm expecting people to wait until the weekend and Monday to make their decisions and then there should be one more round of WL acceptances that week and going into the next one and ending the weekend before July 4

I guess it's not over until it's over, but I'm feeling rather emotionally exhausted after so long a wait... maybe we'll get good news after all, but I am tired 😔

EDIT: damn the groupme jumped by 6

 

[floridaheatkills]

Hi friends! I signed a lease elsewhere/gave up on Penn State. Best of luck to anyone praying to get off of the waitlist. Fingers crossed for this week!

Thanks for telling us! Good luck wherever you are ☺️

Hey all - I did talk to admissions recently and they said they are still working on filling their class. Not much more info than that though.

That's promising !! Thank you for sharing 🙂

hoping maybe we'll hear back tomorrow now that the CTE deadline is passing?

Just sent an email for y'all since I won't be committing asking about CTE deadline and class being full and waitlist movement. Will post response if I get one.

 

[Askesis]

Still on hold but accepted to another school. Is it safe to hit the Commit to Enroll Tool for another school or does that withdraw you from Penn State?

It'll withdraw you from consideration at Penn State. Check your other school's CTE deadline.

It says commit to enroll deadline is July 12th

Lol I got the same copy + pasted response I got last time I asked. I think they're sending automated notes. Here it is:

"Thank you for your email. We are not sure of any movement. In the email that was sent to you on 4/30/21 we gave you an option to submit updated transcripts, other than that and the LOI you will just have to wait.. We appreciate your interest in Penn State College of Medicine. We extend best wishes with your applications to medical schools."

Hi everyone! I just called the Penn State admissions office because I have a large non-refundable tuition payment due for a different school on July 1st. She told me that she thinks the class is currently full although there may have been one withdrawal yesterday, and that they just go down the list when there's a withdrawal.

She said orientation is July 11, so that's the latest we would hear from them.

It's unfortunate but at least there's a bit of closure!

 

[futuredoc738]

Any reason to still have hope for a call at this point? 🙁

Not to be terribly pessimistic but I personally have given up hope, unfortunately. Penn State is such an incredible school so congrats to everyone who will be attending!!

I wanna be super optimistic and say maybe this upcoming week will be the last before calling it quits, but realistically, I've also started preparing for reapp :/

 

[paul30]

I called them just to see what they said and the person on the phone was super nice! She said that she believes the class may be full, but it's really common for students to withdraw and in previous years, they accepted people during the first week of classes. She could be saying this to make me feel better LMAO but just letting y'all know!

I'm glad she was nice! thanks for calling/updating us 🙂

Has anybody heard anything new? I called and was given a disappointing response about remaining movement :/

Damn 🙁 thanks for the info though!

 

[paul30]

Also is anyone low key surprised no one (reportedly) was accepted from Feb/March interviews?
