WL'd...surprised considering this was my best interview
Looks like only 15-20% come off (9-15 students or so)...does anyone have any idea how big the WL is? I heard it has upward 200 people but not sure if that can be verified.
Was everyone who hadn’t heard back just waitlisted? My goodness
Hi are you me? Sending good vibes!!
Seems huge for the class size based on the amount of posts
There will probably be more WL movement this year cuz of the online interviews
Not too surprising imo. ~2.5X ratio of accepted/matriculants seems pretty normal. As you say, yield can ironically be a big problem at T20s (maybe outside of the Harvard/Stanford class schools) because matriculant stats are almost identical between the programs. So a lot of people getting into Pritzker are going to have a number of very strong offers.
This! Same! 😭😔WL as well. So disappointed-- this was my dream school and what I thought was the perfect fit. I guess they didn't see it that way
Feel the same way. And I'm personally in a weird place of trying to be grateful for acceptances but feeling sad I was WL hereWL as well. So disappointed-- this was my dream school and what I thought was the perfect fit. I guess they didn't see it that way
SAME! 😭😔😩
Same I got into other good schools which I’m super grateful for but I felt like I really fit Pritzkers mission especially the health and social justice aspect and was excited to matriculate so I’m super bummed they didn’t think I was a good fit.
Wow, same, same, same! It sucks! 😔
If they truly thought you weren't a good fit, they would have rejected you- you still have a shot!
Totally agreed with this, guys! And if you care about social justice and health equity, which you clearly all do, then you will be amazing doctors and whichever school you go to will be so lucky to train you all. Hope that they accept lots of people off the waitlist so we can all be classmates!!
I wann throw hands
if I get flat out rejected from my top choice I will 100% send a LOI here
Thank you! 😭😔😩
I got the acceptance call from Dr. Clark earlier this week, I'm not sure if they're finished with A's or not but there was movement and hopefully they'll let everyone know soon
Also same
No other school seems to be as mission-driven as Pritzker. I hope there is more WL movement this year given the fact that applicants probably applied to more schools than usual with the virtual format. Wishing everyone the best this cycle!
just wanted to say that a WL here does not make you "small folk"!!! i know you're just being facetious but i think anyone who got an interview here is prob an excellent candidate and has what it takes to get accepted-- it just came down to the competition and some luck at the endIf any of you superstars are sure that you aren't going to be attending Pritzker, please withdraw sooner rather than later for us small folk who are hoping to get off of the waitlist. Thank you!
Was among the A wave just last week and recently received an email from the fin aid office with a link to the app
+ 1
I got an email from finaid yesterday with some steps to complete (FAFSA & a supplemental form). And they should be releasing packages sometime this month!
I feel like there's not much we can do but wait until May
Last I heard for MSTP they said they hadn't finished making decisions but didn't give me any more information than that
I'm thinking about maybe sending one in a month or so, but I know I won't have any updates, so I don't know how useful it'll be for them
I think it can still very much be useful especially if it's a letter of intent. Pritzker seems receptive to love letters and if you can say after this whole process, that one school is your top, I think it would put you in a better position than someone who may not send anything. Also seems like those pulled off the WL still get generous FA packages so nothing to lose!
