Does anyone know when they will begin making offers off of the alternate list?

From what it says about being available May-June, I would guess May. Obviously I would prefer it to be now if they can see their class isn't full, but I doubt it

That’s what I thought too. But if you click the timeline in the application portal, it says that they start using the MD-PHD alternate list in May and the MD alternate list in June. Could anyone confirm if they don’t start using the MD alternate list until June?
 
Anyone thinking about submitting a letter of intent? I would for sure go if accepted but I'm not sure if they are even worth it/ they would look at it.

since it says on the portal you can submit letters of interest I assume its worth a shot. With these ranked style waitlists tho I'm not sure how it works/if it means as much

If any school accepts LOIs then definitely send one if they're your top choice. Not sure about the timing of sending one, but worst case scenario it doesn't help and best case scenario it could be the difference of getting an A. I didn't end up getting WL'd last cycle but I am pretty sure people discussed this in last year's thread.

Did other alternate list people see how on Cincinnati's website it says offers to MD applicants will be between June-August and MD/PhD between May-July. Is this different from previous years? Does it mean if we are MD only applicants on the alternate list, then we won't hear in May?

I saw that too and got worried, but I believe it's just poor wording because it says on the top of that chart that that is the deadline. I can't be 100% sure but they said to be available for communication in May, so I would go off of that (here's hoping to some good news next week!)

who wants to take one for the team and call admissions to find out when waitlisted people will start to hear from them?

just withdrew my application :) waitlisted folks, best of luck!!!
 
I read on the Cincy website that if you "Plan to Enroll" at another school, they will not offer you a waitlist spot. What percent of Tier 1 folks do you think "Planned to enroll" at other schools? If I don't have any acceptances does that make my chances better?

Same with the 2 WL and nothing else haha. Do you think that calling admissions could somehow look bad on an applicant? Would that annoy them so much that they take you off the waitlist?

I believe everyone had to narrow down their “plan to enroll” to one school as of yesterday. If you select “commit to enroll” instead of “plan to enroll” then you will no longer be considered for UC waitlist.

I'm literally the exact same way. Wedding in June, no clue what's happening in July. yay.

If I had to guess, I would guess they will spend most of this week sorting through their acceptances and waitlist folks, and maybe send out some phone calls this Friday.

Can you please find a link to that? I thought everyone with an acceptance was to "Plan to Enroll" at a school by May 2nd and drop all other acceptances. They really hold that against us?
 
Do we think there will be anyone pulled from tier 2 this year? I'm on that tier with no other acceptance (one other WL but its a long shot)

For my sake I sure hope so, but I’m also worried that there seem to be more WL people (and way more T1) folks than normal

They hit tier 3 last year and accepted people until basically week of orientation. I would anticipate movement starting soon until late July. Unsure if they'll go as deep this year though given the number of Tier 1 folks.

I had called Cincy early this spring and left a voicemail with a question, and they called me back a month later telling me the best way to reach them is via email - hope that helps!

Do you mind me asking your stats? Are these scholarships based off your stats, or off your application as a whole?
 
Has anyone heard if there’s been waitlist movement yet? I know they said it would start in May, so I assumed that meant the beginning of May. Although I guess movement could start anytime this month, or not at all.

I went back to read it, and the first wait list movement was 2 folks from tier 2. Kind of interesting. Does anyone know what the tiers really mean?

two possibilities: 1. people didnt post when they got the call or 2. people on tier 1 had already CTE'd at another school. just guessing though

From looking at previous year's threads it almost seems like they changed their tier system. In years prior Tier 1 was reserved for people who would have been accepted but the class was full, and it was rarely if ever used from year to year. Fast forward to this year and we have at least 9-10 people on Tier 1 (those who posted to SDN), so I worry that they maybe switched their waitlist to a more traditional one where Tier 1 is now the start of the "true" waitlist instead of Tier 2.
 
I emailed the admissions a couple of months ago and they said that they expect to utilize the waitlist as much as they did last year, so hopefully that means we still have a shot!
 
Well, might there be some waitlist movement tomorrow?
 
Hi, greetings. I have a request to those who attend university of Cincinnati medical school or who have more knowledge about the school. Planning to apply this cycle with a clear focus on getting into some specialization within pediatrics, can you guys provide some information about this school’s curriculum, facilities, anything unique about this school and the residency at their children’s hospital? Basically I request this information to write “why us?” essay. I know Cincinnati has a highly rated pediatrics program but I couldn’t find any specific information about their program. Thank you in advance.

If you're very focused on pediatrics, all you really need to know is that CCHMC is consistently a top 3 pediatrics hospital in the country. I recommend discussing why you're interested in pediatrics and how you would use the resources that CCHMC would provide to you. You could discuss research, of which there is a lot that is conducted in children's. I personally don't believe the specifics of their pediatrics residency is important for your medical school application, just that the hospital in general is highly regarded and thus has a lot of funding for research and opportunities for seeing a lot of different types of pediatric patients.
