Any idea how many ppl are on the WL historically? We are seeing a lot more ppl with WL on SDN than A messages. Thoughts?
someone previously on here said that a lot of the class actually comes from WL. i think they said like 40%? that seems sus to me tho.WL. anyone still have msar that could tell me what it says about WL offers?
Yes that is what was told by @bones-n-sconez, I believesomeone previously on here said that a lot of the class actually comes from WL. i think they said like 40%? that seems sus to me tho.

If many Accepted people withdraw prior to - by calling Cornell (and not just updating AMCAS), movement prior to May is possible, but unlikely.Do you guys think there's a chance of waitlist movement before May? Cornell is my top choice but I have other acceptances and I'm so tired of waiting 🙁

So anyone else with me who didn't get the WL email refreshing their email waiting for the R? I want to know I'm not alone in my misery 🙁
idk the exact number. all i can say is that i remember being a ton of WL movement from my class and historically that seems to be the trend. my class's FB group ended up being around 230 students ... and maybe 30 of those max were current m1s at the time.Yes that is what was told by @bones-n-sconez, I believe

Thinking the same. Does anyone have an idea if a similar number of WL were reported on SDN last year?Also WL'ed! Do they actually do post-II rejections? Or are you just WL'ed (for what is essentially a rejection)?

I think last year there were 106 matriculants and ~300 people were accepted in total, including WLHow many final number of matriculants in your class?
106, ~20 of which were MD/PhDsHow many final number of matriculants in your class?
300 acceptances total? That seems super high. Do people decline acceptances off the waitlist?I think last year there were 106 matriculants and ~300 people were accepted in total, including WL

There were 2 post-II R's mentioned on page 28 of last year's thread.I searched last year's thread and found no post-II Rs, just waitlists.. am I missing something?
Also, in response to a post earlier, I counted ~25 WL's mentioned the day decisions rolled out last year. So far this thread has tallied around 27 WL's
I think I just reached my max neurotic capacity, (and I won't mention I have an exam tomorrow) so I I'll say good night 🙂

Congrats everyone getting acceptances! And for everyone on the waitlist, I'm rooting for you!!!
I just made a GroupMe for Accepted/WL students to join, so we can all get to know each other a bit better:
Let me know if the link doesn't work and I'll send another.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. But because there's no WL movement till May/after the CTE deadline, does that mean that they'll only be puling from people who don't have any acceptances/only WLs?
No. My understanding is that each school will only know who is taking up their A. If that number falls below what they need to fill the class, they use their WLs regardless of As from other schools. That's why WL movements run all the way to AugustSorry if this is a dumb question.

To add on, April 30 is the deadline to choose Plan to Enroll and narrow down to one A (but you can stay on any number of waitlists). The deadline to choose Commit to Enroll (withdraw from all waitlists) depends on the school.No. My understanding is that each school will only know who is taking up their A.

post-II R via via email at 2 pm 🙁 congrats to all accepted and WLd!

So my previous statement was probably incorrect that between PTE and CTE - WL movements can happen for all, but after CTE, people with As are out of all WLs, so movement can occur only for people with only WLsTo add on, April 30 is the deadline to choose Plan to Enroll and narrow down to one A (but you can stay on any number of waitlists). The deadline to choose Commit to Enroll (withdraw from all waitlists) depends on the school.

I don’t have Facebook. Idk what to do lolHey everyone, congrats to everyone who got in so far!Accepted students FB page with upperclassmen to answer questions is here:
www.facebook.com
You can make an empty account just to join it if you want, FB accounts are pretty easy to make - but if you don't feel like it, most of the action usually goes on via groupme anyway! And if you ever have any burning questions, you can ask me as wellI don’t have Facebook. Idk what to do lol
