I got my first acceptance a week ago. The day after I was also excepted into a Top 5 MPH program. I am very sad about having to turn down the MPH offer, but I am excited to start medical school. I am on one other waitlist, but I also don't know if letting them know that info would change my WL status there. I have already decided what happens will happen.
I think it's going to be really slow at established schools from here on out.
Feel free.
We can only see if you have CTE'd or PTE'd. We cannot see if you are still on a waitlist. The AAMC can see.
Thank you for your response. Will the AAMC typically notify schools that a student who CTE'd to their school still hold a waitlist position elsewhere?
Although they aren't likely to notify the school, they have indicated that they may contact applicants directly to clear the matter up. I have seen little evidence that they have done so.
We'd all love to know where!
Yeah my current WL told me they would still consider applicants who have already CTE’d elsewhere as long as one submitted an LoI. I just didn’t want to risk my current CTE school dropping me.
Same date or find a way to qualify a "desirability" of a school and stagger CTE dates based on that.
Same, I’d give an arm and a leg to get into my top choice or any choice at all lol
i would pay 100000 more tuitions and brush the toilet bowl every day for the admission people for the next four years
i'd walk to the school if they accepted me (google shows 300 hours)
Lmao that is a classic thread
I would recommend sending your top-choice school a note indicating your preference to attend their school, mention your deadline and ask if they are still considering you off the WL to take the deadline into consideration. This worked for one of my kid’s T20 WLs.
I have the same question!
Tried this and was told “we’ll keep this in mind” which is why I hope the CTE deadline is Monday night not Sunday night!
Just so we’re clear... by no means does every lease have a “fee” to break it. That’s the case in many apartment complexes but a leased may not have a way to break it so Be careful.
Just wanted to second this. Worst case, you lose your first month of rent and a security deposit but you get to go to a school that's possibly cheaper and/or better and worth those short-term losses!
Again, just so we’re clear every lease is different and don’t just assume there’s an option like this to break your lease.
Kind of what happened to me. Just means you’re low on the priority list. I think even if the waitlist is unranked, it is still ranked or stratified in some manner. They don’t mind having you in their class but they have a bunch of people they rather have first. Sorry that sounds harsh but that’s kind of how I see my situation.
