Got placed on alternate list as well but luckily have been accepted to another MD program. i kind of figured that would happen considering the late interview invite. Hoping movement starts to pick up after April 15th. I’m super conflicted because if I commit to my current acceptance on May 2nd I don’t think I’ll be able to switch back to Howard if they pull me off waitlist pass May 🙁.

Congrats on your other acceptance!! What was said during one of Howard’s first fridays was that last year, there were only 6 students who didn’t make it off the alternate list, if I understood correctly. So I wouldn’t give up hope yet! There’s bound to be movement within the next couple weeks.

Also, I thought you could remain on an alternate list even after committing to another school, right?

Yes you can but if I start putting down payments and signing leases in May and they hit me up in June imma be mad. Also planning to travel internationally before medical school and Howard starts earlier than my other acceptance. Fingers crossed i find out in May so I have time to make an informed decision

Withdrew my application today as I am fortunate to be accepted elsewhere and wish to bring the cycle to a definitive end. Good luck to all still waiting!

Any WL movement?

Any WL movement?

i’m on the alternate/ WL too, i’m thinking we should start seeing some movement after may 2nd, when commit to enroll becomes available

 

[futuredoc345]

to those who are already in the accepted group chat(congrats) can you keep us WL informed when people start to drop and how many. thanks

 

[LoveJesus!]

They aren’t doing interviews anymore right?

 

[MedSchoolHopeful2026]

Yes they finished interviews a few weeks back and have notified all those who interviewed of their status. It’s just the waiting to see how much alternate movement will happen

92 members and a class size is 120 😳

 

[deleted1117496]

I think the 92 members include Ms. Celia and some other administrators? Last year's class was 125.

This year’s class is 130 😉 we got some hope

I didn’t think about the admin—that’s even better. The class size this year (from what was said on interview day) will be 130!

there are also a handful of current student ambassadors in the group

 

[MedSchoolHopeful2026]

I’m hoping waitlist movement starts next week. I really want to be able to start making plans for the fall and submit my resignation for my job asap. If Howard works out I’m gonna be able to leave a month earlier than plan and hopefully get some travel in

Wait, you just got off the WL yesterday and then withdrew your A today. Got a better offer obviously? Or was another school just ranked higher for you?

 

[xDNA]

[operator436]

Let’s hope tomorrow there are some As sent out. I wish I knew how many people are on the waitlist.

between 100-150 but i think most of the movement will happen late may and june. Howard’s CTE is June 12

 

[operator436]

Omg that’s a lot! Now I’m nervous about not getting in. This is my dream school

i heard like 70% of the current class came off the WL. I think statistically speaking you’re more likely to get in than not get in lmao we got this

 

[shimotsuki zoro124]

[hopefulmedcam]

Just got off the WL last night!! Interviewed 2/1 placed on alternate list 2/11. Looks like there’s massive movement happening. Goodluck everyone!!!

 

[bisonboy]

a lot of movement is likely to happen!

as annoying as it is, some may get accepted a few days before orientation so obvs prep for the next cycle but also be ready to head to DC at the drop of a dime

 

[MedSchoolHopeful2026]

Got off the waitlist also interviewed 3/30. Super excited because I may actually get to be a bison! Can someone let me know where they send financial info
