2020-2021 Wright State (Boonshoft)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I must be at the bottom of the top third because I haven't heard anything. Def not trying to sound ungrateful; im just anxious
I'm also top third so I understand.

I know this might not be the place and I did post this in a separate thread but I'm kinda panicking does anyone have information on why/if boonshoft is better than toledo or vice versa? DM me maybe? They give you 5 days to decide once pulled from waitlist
I hope you were able to find support making this decision! Do you mind sharing what you school you went with? Thanks!

Has anyone asked admissions how many people are on the waitlist or is that information they don’t tell us?

I chose toledo HOWEVER I do not believe there is a clear advantage of one or the other unless you get into specific interests. It was a hard choice bruh

Hi everyone, have been keeping tabs on the thread here and there throughout the cycle. Just wanted to say huge congrats to those who've been accepted and letting anyone on the waitlist know that I'm rooting for you for sure! I was in a very similar place last year on the waitlist and I know how nerve-wracking the whole process is. Keep holding on and I so hope we get to have you here next year!

I don't check on here as often as I used to, but feel free to DM me if there are any questions I can answer! (I don't speak for the university or admissions though!) Good luck!

Was that meant to be 119 students for May 20th?

Nope! +4 students means that’s how many were added to the portal on that specific day. Remember that people are still declining their acceptances, so it’s more like +4 accepted and -5 withdrew their acceptances! I just don’t write the # withdrew because I figured it would make sense hopefully? :)

They raised their incoming class up to 130 last year. Fingers crossed they continue this.

does anyone know if they are in the top third of the waitlist still?
If they are finished, the thirds were not large numbers. It would be a good sign. Maybe someone still in the top and waiting can respond.

Does anyone understand why they wouldn't try to maintain 130 acceptances, and just add from the waitlist as people withdraw?

They might be waiting to see if any of the M1s are going to need to repeat the year. After their finals are finished, I bet they fill the class to 130

Hey everyone, current M1 here. We just took our NBME on 5/21 and the retake is scheduled for 6/4. Only after the retake will they know how many M1's have to repeat the year. I was top third from wait list last year and didn't hear anything until early June. Be patient, be confident, and don't get discouraged seeing everyone get in. If it is meant for you it will be. Good luck!

I don't think this information is available. I sent an email Monday to try and see if they could let me know any more specifics about my waitlist position within the top third, but they gave me a, "no more information is available about your waitlist position at this time." They might be more open with the general question of where they are in the top third, but everything I've seen has made me believe that I shouldn't expect any more detailed information from them.

Thank you! Do you have any idea how far down the waitlist they made it last year? Happen to know of any classmates who were in the middle/bottom third?

Any updates this week?
Nope, sorry :(
Anecdotally I know of a few students who declined their acceptance and I see their names on the portal still. I am assuming that they are just behind on updating this week.

Does anyone know if we should be expecting to see movement now that the M1s who needed to took the retake? Would it take longer or will they give students who need to repeat time to make a decision?
 
Hi guys… just wondering… how many people received the email after their interview:

“Although we cannot offer you a position in our entering class at this time, you received a strong rating from the committee and we expect you will be very high on our alternate list.”

but were placed on the middle third of the waitlist… I guess I’m asking what middle third people were told after their interview-kinda to gauge what the top of the middle third looks like.

I knew some, and I know of more who have withdrawn after being accepted somewhere else. Hoping there is more movement, but I know they're waiting to add the current M1s

Hey, there hasn't been any changes to the portal since I last posted. Just wanted to let you all know.
Looking at past threads for BSOM, it seems like movement starts to slow down around mid-June - but there is still hope, so hang in there. It's not over till it's over! <3

They ought to do a surge and get their numbers back up to last year's quota.
