Same here buddy, 4 WL strong😭 Hopefully we’ll see some movement in May.

I say WL gang best gang. Keep your chin up!!!

 

[Paxton_01]

I’m taking solace in the fact that atleast we survived two rounds of rejections from the waitlist

Would any current students be willing to elaborate on the P/F/HP grading system for the pre clinical and clinical years? Maybe this was already elaborated on by a current WSU student earlier in this thread... any direction would be appreciated. Thanks.

Would like to know the same info!

I don't know about clinical years, but preclinical is graded S/U. There is an option to get honors in basic sciences if you score more than 2 standard deviations above the mean for the entire segment. Pre-COVID, you could also get honors for clinical skills, CEC, and P4 (which if you got honors in all would give you comprehensive honors). I do not know if/when those courses will return to giving out honors.

what is s/u?

 

[Arthur Morgan]

what is s/u?

Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. In most cases, if you earn a C- or above it can become a S on your transcript. I don’t know exactly how it works for WSUSOM M1s/M2s though.

 

[Paxton_01]

Are we predicting waitlist movement from next week?

 

[6+4+3=2]

Just withdrew my A! Good luck y'all

 

[CaptainWEMT]

what is s/u?

Anything over 70=Satisfactory=pass
Less than 70=unsatisfactory=fail

 

[meseeksc137]

I just withdrew my A. Good luck everyone!

If we are just holding the one acceptance now (Wayne) and selected commit to enroll on CYMS, is there any further communication required with the school to let them know you're going to attend and hold on to that acceptance?

Yes, just know if you eo CTE, you are 100% commiting to wayne and you will have to drop ur WLs (if you have)

 

[MayBB8]

May 1st onward.... We're in the Endgame now. *fading to dust*

 

[deleted1096346]

How many people are still on the WL approximately? 🤔

And how many seats are we estimating to open up?

 

[stressedpremed123]

you all got this!!! they usually have the most movement now 🙂

 

[bobaislife]

Does anyone know if the Board of Governor's Scholarship is renewable for all 4 years of medical school? I tried emailing admissions and the financial aid office a week ago, but no reply.

a current student told me it is renewable for all four years

 

[Paxton_01]

Someone want to call Wayne and ask when they’re predicting WL movement to start?

I'm nominating you 😉

 

[justletmein22]

I'm nominating you 😉

I second the Nomination. But dont As typically come on Thursdays? Or am I making that up?

I assume it will be more random from now on. Wayne’s WL moved almost right away after 4/30 last year, so I am hoping the admissions is prepping on the list of As or something 🥲

 

[bobaislife]

That's awesome, thank you!

 

[kingkong701]

I am losing my sanity with each hourly SDN check and no waitlist movement!

 

[Julatteluver]

There is no way that the movement began without us knowing right... im kinda confuzzled here

 

[deleted1088791]

Why no movement yet

 

[Distinct_Buddy]

Starting to wonder if they over accepted before May 1st... hope that’s not the case

 

[Julatteluver]

i mean, all med schools over accept (usually 2x the class size)..in fact, WSU accepted less people so far compared to last cycle (675 vs 722ish). I think the worst case scenario would be WSU having a way better yield than expected :'( i hope not though

I’m actually concerned since last movement was well before the 30th.

yea I am pretty surprised that we haven't seen any movement since WSU's waitlist usually moved quite actively in the past. I say we probably should wait around for this week and if we still don't see any movement by next week, it would be fair to go into panic mode. LOL, but just not yet.

Wayne's first day of WL movement in the last four years has been like this:
2019-2020: May 3rd
2018-2019: May 7th
2017-2018: May 1st
2016-2017: May 5th

Based on this record, I don't think we are in the danger zone yet. Maybe if we don't hear back by the end of this week then we can start to worry. That being said, Wayne has never before sent this many acceptances (675) before the PTE deadline. That could mean a lot less movement for us since approximately 2/3 of that number have to decline their offers for space to open up.

Yea i think higher number of acceptances can lead to either 1) initial yield was bad enough that WL had to move earlier and bigger and the trend continues (which is fine since WSU prepared this with more interviews) or 2) less movement for us for the opposite reason. (Basically what you mentioned) Well, we will never know for now, so let’s all hope for a great movement soon 🙂

Agreed. My bet is on Thursday

 

[deleted1096346]

Can anyone from the FB group be so kind to give us an estimate ratio or number of accepted students to current students and faculty? Would really appreciate it

 

[deleted1096346]

Hard to tell...bunch of med students joined in the group.
GroupMe: 193, maybe some med students here?
FaceBook: 427, of which 5 Admin and idk how many Med Students.

Thank you so much

Groupme is probably more accurate since I think there are only a couple of med students in there

Does everyone join groupme though? I'd be delighted if that many seats still need to be filled.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

There’s at least 30-50 accepted students on Facebook and not in the GroupMe.

I’m accepted and I’m not part of either 😅

I’ve also seen a few people leave the GroupMe too. Probably accepted other schools. So I’m sure there are spots opening up!

Yeah it kinda does make more sense. 193 seems too low of a number at this point.

 

[ThatSerb]

this is true. honestly ive seen a good amount of people leave. i feel like almost every day there are people leaving

[ihatephysics123]

There was a convo in the groupme talking about people still deciding where to go, so I think more As will come soon

 

[kingkong701]

Movement today, perhaps?

 

[DocAl]

Movement today, perhaps?

Maybe those who got As are too busy celebrating to tell us . . . Jk 🙂

haha maybe... especially if they sent out a very few

How is everyone trying to stay productive and sane?
