Got a letter coming tomorrow with 53 cent postage. Interviewed 4/19. I saw earlier where acceptances are usually 42 cents, am I pretty much destined for the waitlist?

My waitlist was 42 cents- so don’t pay too much attention to the postage. Best wishes, hope it’s an A for you
 
Is it normal for me to keep checking my mailbox 24/7? Asking for a friend..

I wish they'd tell you at least what quartile of the waitlist you're in like top 25%. Kinda stinks be totally blind - don't know whether to start planning my life for next year or not.

Hopefully should see some movement from the Shreveport waitlist soon huh? If people actually commit to 1 school?

good luck and pls let us know! Also aren't the rules such that if you've been accepted after may 1st they need to notify you within 24 hours?
 
Like why is this school still using snail mail even after May 1st?

am i making this up? i swear i saw a post on this forum about "the acceptable list having about 40 people on it and about 30 of them get in". I just wanted to know how accurate that was.

I've never heard that. 40 also feels like a low number. Unless it came from Sonya or Dr. Thomas, I wouldn't believe it.
 
That’s per MAAR data. Some personal talks between the head of my schools premed board and Dr. Thomas revealed that this was an old policy that she was attempting to move out. She wanted to reduce waitlist positions so that people felt there was more meaning to being waitlisted by this med school

I just got a return call from Mrs. French. She said the WL movement is slower than it has been in past cycles to the point of being almost non-existent.

I've heard of several people getting accepted off the LSUS waitlist in the last two weeks, including one of my friends. Why would she say "almost non-existent"? I'm still hopeful. There was movement last year in July

I'm assuming she meant going forward as my question was geared towards that direction. In past years there has been a decent amount of waitlist mvmt in June, so maybe she means not to expect that.

The Facebook group is at 157 with 2 moderators and probably a few current students. What is the cap on class size?
