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.
Alternate pool/waitlist.
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.
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.
I applied and was admitted to the MD/PhD program this cycle.
Not sure if they’ve had any movement yet
Thank you! Do you mind sharing if you’re in or out of state?
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 also told that any letters of intent would not be considered during the current application cycle. Letters would only be considered for next cycle.
Thanks!!
Honestly, I think the cycle is over for this school. I already reapplied so I’m not banking on it.
