lol yeah. Though a few state schools have surprised me with very good offers (while the best one has come from a private one)

I also received a small scholarship. Like the person above me, emphasis on small haha.
I wonder if anyone has been accepted off the waitlist since the final round of post-interview decisions went out in mid-March. I really just wish they would tell us our rank so that we could tailor our expectations.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but there have been. I don’t think too many though. I believe some movement will happen tomorrow and a majority at the end of the month

how do you know there has been waitlist movement?

I’ve shadowed someone on Utah’s adcomms. I mean obviously they don’t give any details or secret info just a general “there has been some movement.” Which makes sense since it’s been like a month

Not bad news at all, lol. I was just curious given the waitlist data that's on the MSAR.

It will be a phone call, Dr. Chan calls everyone accepted

MSAR data at one point said 75/90 applicants were taken off the waitlist and now it says 70/70 (which are odds that seem too good to be true). Does anyone know if this WL movement represents a larger portion of OOS or IS; i.e., historically have more people that are OOS getting off the WL? Just neurotically trying to gauge expectations...

Ooh sorry mate, no idea on this one, other than 70 out of 70 definitely not being the case.
I'm like 98% sure they have separate waitlists for IS and OOS, so I think it just depends on the year. I think for all waitlists at UUSOM there's a lot of movement though!

I wonder if it would be worth it to call Admissions and ask about the 70/70 statistic for the WL. It was confusing to me as well

It seemed like it switched like a month and a half ago so I’d assume it was the numbers for last year (though incorrect since you can see people getting rejected in last year’s thread). I don’t think there would be much harm in calling and asking, just make sure to let us know what you find out though please!

I am completing my undergraduate degree there now. Yes 1200 for an apartment for yourself is pretty normal. Try to get one close a TRAX station. Preferably on the red line. That will take you right up to campus. On campus parking is super expensive and not close to the medical school
No or not yet, what is it?
I got an email about it this morning. Not sure how much to read into it. Do you think it means less chance of getting an A off the WL?
From what I could tell, it looks sort of like UUSOM's version of a post-bac? It's a yearlong, you take classes, shadow, etc. It's for students from various underserved backgrounds who have applied to UUSOM with the intent to re-apply.

I have not gotten the email but I would be shocked if it’s an indication of anything. They’re very protective of the alt-list so I’d be really surprised if they did anything that hinted at the order
I’m not sure but I hope not. I’m just worried cause they didn’t send that email to all waitlisted applicants

Are there people on the WL that you know that didn't get it? I might have just been a fluke
Also maybe it's the opposite of what y'all fear. Maybe they hate me so much they want to make sure I don't apply again lol
I don't know any other people on the WL at all so I'm not sure if it's for everyone or just people from certain backgrounds?
LOL, hopefully we both don't need to reapply next year 🙂
It sounded like it's just for people from certain backgrounds, and i'm guessing just for people who are in-state too. I have a friend who's OOS and on the WL from a similar background as me who didn't receive it.

I think this sounds like a pretty solid assumption
For what it’s worth, I’m in-state and did not receive it. So this is fun. 🙃 Maybe Chan just likes playing mind games with us. Maybe we’re part of some psychiatry neuroticism study.
I'm also IS but I did receive the email🤷♂️ I'm not from any sort of underserved background so who knows why some got the email and others didn't...
Can confirm. I am on the OOS waitlist and didn't receive it... :/
I'm IS with no underserved background and did not receive the email so take that as you will

did they send the webinar invite to everyone on the waitlist? I am attending now and it is about re-applying and wondering if they sent that to everyone on the waitlist
I got that email a while back so I am assuming they sent it to everyone!
I received it. From what it seems, they sent it to IS students on the WL that were disadvantaged/underserved.

Hello friends! This is my first cycle applying so I am honestly so confused about this PTE/CTE stuff. Is it true that the U's CTE date is today? Meaning most waitlist movement will be in the next couple weeks-ish? I feel like that's what I've seen in the past threads but I don't understand and I trust you guys will come to my rescue here hahah

We're all trying not to think about it but yes, one would expect a majority of waitlist movement to happen early next week!
Huge emphasis on trying not to think about it lol
The CTE deadline is June 1st, not today. Today is the PTE deadline. Either way, yes, there technically should be waitlist movement at some point after today since people have to withdraw all acceptances but one today.
I’ve contacted the U specifically about this and they told me todas is a recommendation for them. You can still hold another acceptance if you’re waiting to get new information that could change your decision. Ofc communicate with the schools but at least the U is ok with us waiting a few more days.

Friendly reminder to everyone on the WL (myself included), if you don't get a phone call tomorrow that does NOT mean that a rejection is imminent! There could be weeks/months left of movement on the list, don't put all your hopes on getting called early in the week and then get crushed when it doesn't happen, there's still hope!
Yes, since most waitlist movement happens in May. April 30th was the "soft" deadline for applicants to narrow down their acceptances to 1 school.
wondering the same thing!

Me too. Does that mean we were just too low on the alternate list?
Just got it too. And yes it does
