I know nobody can tell us where we are on the alt list but can we call about a general position, such as likely to get off the list or not?

I asked about that and they responded by saying they have no idea how many students will withdraw their acceptances

I wish they would atleast say top, middle, bottom. That should be easy enough.
Do internal rankings make a big difference in how collaborative a class is? The main deterrent from me coming is class ranking, it really scares me. I hate how 20% of our rank now is going to come from preclinical years.
Any school with ranking is going to lead to a more competitive and less collaborative class. That doesnt mean you're going to be with 90 gunners. Theres always going to be the person sharing their quizlet, the m2 giving you tips, etc.
Having rankings overall isn’t ideal but if It helps, apparently the students thought it was a good idea to change the preclinical contribution from 10 to 20% because it’s more fair than basing almost everything off clerkships that have so much variability

Well today is the day that med schools can officially see what people have in their CYMS, so I’m guessing the next couple days will be the last real alternate list movement if there is any.
I just called them and they're like "we finished interviewing.... you can ask about your admissions status via email". I'm like "hello, we're in May im not dumb. I just expected you guys to tell me that I got rejected since I paid for my app to get reviewed by you". I applied to over 40 schools and this is the only one that didnt give me the courtesy. Sad.
On a more positive note, congrats to all who got in here and other med schools. Today is a super exciting day for all of us!

my app went from under review to R. Never even got scored.
I reached out to admissions multiple times throughout the cycle and they still said I wasn't reviewed yet. It's like they never even looked at my app and just rejected me. Waste of $
keep your chin up, like 10 people left the GroupMe chat today. I’m sure there will be more of the exodus.

Idk. The problem is that schools intentionally over-accept students expecting there to be late withdrawals so its possible that many people decide to go elsewhere and there still wouldn’t be any waitlist movement
yeah it sucks because a lot of us have a deadline to commit at another school / have to deal with housing and cant just wait with a thumb in our mouth lol

I feel like thats a really negative way to look at it. I'm sure Miami will have some waitlist movement, we just have to be patient! Like the fact that no one has heard back yet gives me hope
there has been some waitlist movement
Today?
You personally know some people have been accepted off the waitlist since Monday?
lmfao well idk if you guys got accepted today, but if what he is saying is true its looking pretty bleak for us @star-lily @Omilar7 @icedcoffee_1081
Did any accepted students get additional scholarships this week? They said they were going to redistribute the scholarships when people that had some scholarships withdrew from the school.
yes, some did

They might have more offers to make. A good number of people left the GroupMe on 5/2 and it's under 200 users right now (~175)

Congrats homie!!!!
I scored 4th quartile and my application never even got looked at so who knows
N=1 but I got 3rd quartile and received the II in mid-late September despite submitting the secondary somewhat late (5 weeks after receipt)
