3 II's and 3 WLs, rip. The anxiety is real.
I have faith there will be a good amount of waitlist movement this cycle!

Yeh I hear ya, it can be tough waiting for a decision, but generally that may be good news if it is taking a while. Generally, Adcom agrees quickly on 95% of the accepts for that meeting and 95% of the waitlisted candidates. What takes the most time and discussion are the 5% of candidates right on the bubble that could go either way and also if there is disparity in what 2 interviewers' impressions were. Hang in there, stay positive things will work out and I hope they do for you!+1 CC. Annoying that they finally let me know today, considering that I interviewed on Jan 12
When were you put on the WL?Completely forgot about this WL. Got the Acceptance email this morning but I’ll withdraw.
Best of lucky folks, Philly is an awesome city to learn medicine!
Second week of FebruaryWhen were you put on the WL?
bothCongrats! Did you get an email and/or portal change? Also was this post-interview or post-waitlist?
march 2Congrats! When did you interview?
Did you get a portal like this post-II?
yeaDid you get a portal like this post-II?
do you know if there is any social for accepted studentsAccepted yesterday! saw on the portal first... II Feb 2
Generally not until later in the cycle as over half of accepted students will end up declining in pursuit of a better fit at another institution.do you know if there is any social for accepted students
It is always prudent to hope for the best and plan for the worst. This is a very tough cycle with record applicants, all which are accomplished in their own right. If you are getting ii's you are doing something right! If you have modest deficiencies in your application, take these months to strengthen them whether it be non clinical volunteering, direct patient clinical contact through employment of volunteering or joining a research gig. There are some super applicants holding multiple acceptances this cycle because there was no disincentive to forgo an ii. With virtual interviewing due to COVID there was no $1,000 expense to flight, hotel, rental car, meals to attend an interview and no time commitment so a lot more applicants are not picking and choosing interviews, but taking them all due to lack of high expense and investment of travel time that was in the past. Thus there may be more waitlist movement than historically observed. Hang in there, stay positive, it is very hard but you got this!Does anyone know when the St. Luke's crew should expect decisions since we didn't get any yesterday? If we have to wait until next month I'm just gonna have to pull trig on this reapp prep
I'm applying to St Luke as well, got the CC email with the wave a few days ago. Interviewed 2/16 btw.Does anyone know when the St. Luke's crew should expect decisions since we didn't get any yesterday? If we have to wait until next month I'm just gonna have to pull trig on this reapp prep
+1Any recent interview invites? Still haven’t heard back anything
+2. Does anyone know when they're done interviewing? I haven't heard anything back since I submitted my secondary haha
Sure, you or anyone else can feel free to PM meany current students on here who could answer a few questions for me?
They have a place to upload them on the portal. but in the WL email I got, they said email to [email protected] so not sure if its different for those waitlisted, but I did all of my updates just through the portal beforehand. Sending Letter of intent to the email though later.Can anyone share the email address we’re supposed to send updates to?
No, that’s just unethical and schools talkIs it wise to send LOIs to multiple schools? I got WL’d at my top 2 schools. I already sent to 1 of them. Can I send to the other one?
Letters of Interest --> send to your top schools (multiple)Is it wise to send LOIs to multiple schools? I got WL’d at my top 2 schools. I already sent to 1 of them. Can I send to the other one?
Thank you. Just wanted to make sureNo, that’s just unethical and schools talk
That helps a lot. Thank you!Letters of Interest --> send to your top schools (multiple)
Letter of Intent --> send to only 1 school (your absolute top choice, no exceptions)
If you explicitly stated that you would matriculate if accepted to the school you sent a LOI to, then it would be unethical and could lead to problems later on if you send another letter like that to the second school. At most, you should send a Letter of Interest to the second school.
Thank you 😊They have a place to upload them on the portal. but in the WL email I got, they said email to [email protected] so not sure if its different for those waitlisted, but I did all of my updates just through the portal beforehand. Sending Letter of intent to the email though later.

Current student here, we haven't even gotten it yet for some reasonAny word on information on this year’s match list?
It's at the very start of the day after the welcome introduction, and its like a written VITA-type question, nothing to stress/prep for. My question had been answered probably 10 times in other secondaries/interviews, so its nothing strange or anything (at least mine). But you have 2 30 min interviews over a 2 hour period, so you have like an hour break to either chill or sit in the main zoom room and chat with other interviewees. Super laid back day overall though. Best of luck!Interviewing here next week. I was wondering if anyone that has interviewed already could share their experience. also, what should I expect from the writing activity? Like when does it happen and how will they evaluate it? Thank you!!!
