Last year they said it usually starts moving after a particular date in April (I think April 30). That’s the date when people with multiple acceptances have to make their choice.

There is both a groupme and facebook! The facebook is UKCOM Class of 2026 and the groupme link is listed in that page
I’m not 100% sure because I wasn’t taken off the waitlist last year. I was told by admissions that the big day for waitlist movement was April 30 so I assume it’s the same this year.
“After careful consideration, the Committee has decided to defer a final decision on your application pending comparison with other applicants in the alternate pool.
We will review the alternate pool as we incur openings in the class. We will subsequently update you on the status of your application.”
So is this how they let you know if you’re in the alternate pool or are they just yanking my chain.

Alternate pool/waitlist.
Got the WL email this morning. Interviewed 1/27.
They said in my interview that the current class is full. As seats come available, they will take a look at the entire “alternate pool” and select an applicant. They said it could be someone who interviewed very early or very late and it’s completely like another look at all applicants within the pool not just particular interview days.
Alternate pool = waitlist

Additionally, I talked to someone from admissions and they made it sound like they were going to interview everyone before they made any decisions about pulling people from the alternate list. There are interviews till the end of February. So the earliest one would hear would be March. Which follows a timeline similar to last year. At this point you just need to be patient. A lot of us are in the same boat.

Any current students in here that are a part of the MD/PhD program? Or did anyone that applied this cycle apply for the MD/PhD program?

I applied and was admitted to the MD/PhD program this cycle.

Can anyone tell me if there is a specific spot on the website that says they accept update letters? I’m having trouble finding anything
They were OOS NKY campus
I know they accept letters of intent. Not sure on update letters which I think are different. Either way, last year when I was on the wait list I was highly encouraged to submit a letter of intent.

I was told that they do not accept any supplemental materials after the secondary application is submitted (no letters of intent or update letters) whenever I called, at least pertaining to the year you've already applied for.

I was also told that any letters of intent would not be considered during the current application cycle. Letters would only be considered for next cycle.

I talked to admissions and it sounds like they haven’t seen a lot of movement so far in the current class

Has anyone heard of any waitlist movement at all for the Lexington campus?
Honestly, I think the cycle is over for this school. I already reapplied so I’m not banking on it.

I know Louisville had a ton of movement this year but I haven’t heard anything out of UK Lex campus
