I’ve heard like 50% of the class comes off the waitlist although I’m not sure how true that is

That was true in the years leading up to 2020-2021. Last year there was little to no WL movement, remains to be seen if that is a fluke or simply the new reality.

I don't know how true that is, if you look at the thread there seemed to be a healthy amount of WL movement. I'd check with the admissions team if there was a drop last year! fwiw, the number of apps was 6k last year, and 4.9k this year. They still interviewed about 600, so there may not be an increase, but I like to be hopeful 🙂

From what I remember, there was some movement in December (which is why I was hoping we would see some then) and then pretty much nothing else. I may be wrong about this but I think that this year there will be more movement than last year (no real reason just vibes and dreams lol).

Just got the A off the WL. I’m in utter disbelief, feel like I’m dreaming. I’m scared to call family in case it’s a mistake.

Congrats future doc! Take a deep breath and enjoy the moment. Check your CYMS and that should eliminate all of your worries. 🙂

Thank you! I interviewed in October and was placed on the WL in November. I did not send an LOI or any updates.

Congrats! There is a student group you will get an email about it in a couple of days. No swag just an official acceptance letter in the mail

 

[lela013]

Accepted students, anybody else know other ways of finding roommates? Not having luck with the short list on the excel sheet. I’m also not from the area and have no idea where I can find roommates. Any help is appreciated 🙂

 

[kenykj49]

Anyone else have trouble paying the deposit? I filled out the form, but it won't let me proceed to payment. Keeps saying "Your payment cannot be accepted at this time."

 

[applicant117]

Is anyone else discouraged by the limited movement? Feeling defeated

Is there a groupme for accepted students?

 

[swimswamswum]

The groupme is posted in the facebook group! It's one of the earlier posts but if you search "groupme" in the group you should be able to find it!

 

[trojan1999]

Just got an A after interviewing in.. ready for it... August. Screaming/crying/shaking right now. Had already submitted my primary app for the next cycle and mentally adjusted to a second gap year but anything is possible 😳
