Any other helpful information from the admissions office?
Mine was 3:20 PM but doubt there’s a specific time. I also don’t think it’s that essential to pick up the call. I assume they will leave a message.
Hi, yes there is a groupme! There are actually several, one main groupme and separate ones for the 3 locations. Email your admissions counselor and they should be able to invite you
thx! I put in a request
put this in the waitlist support thread but figured I would post it here in case anyone doesn't follow that. Anyone seen waitlist movement lately?
Congrats!! Which campus are you headed to?
Congrats! Would you feel comfortable sharing stats? The other few people who were pulled of the WL here had high stats, so I'm wondering if they're only pulling high-stat people.
Congrats! When did you interview, and which campus are you headed to?
I'll be headed over to athens! I interviewed early November. I had a cGPA of 3.77 and a super low MCAT score, however I had a LOT of experiences and updates.
Huge congratulations! Hopefully, we will be next!
Also would like to know...
For Dublin and Cleveland, we have to dress in business casual. Athens essentially gets to wear whatever they want every day for class.
Just had to spend a few hundred on slacks, polos, and comfy shoes. Not the biggest fan on the dress code policy.
I'm pretty sure 70% of my outfits came from the sales rack at khols.
or Athens?
I feel like it has been so quiet across all the schools I have been waitlisted at and it is driving me crazy.
Seriously!!! what is happening this year it's wild. We haven't seen nearly as much activity across the board. I feel like each day is harder than the next waiting to hear back from here.
The last time I reached out to them was the week of May 15th, which I was told the same thing. I am planning to attend the Choose DO event on 6/22 to ask for more info, but if anyone else emailed them or called, please share it with us!
Since this convo I had with them on 5/24 I have contacted them one other time and all they said was to “keep hoping”. Man is that easier said than done lol. @Dr_Su98 if you ask please update us on what they say!!
I might reach out before the 22nd, so I will post what they say.
I don't remember when I reached out but I got the same message about "keep hope".
For what it's worth, since last Wednesday, I counted 9 people joining the GroupMe and only 1 person left. That could be people that learned of the chat group late or who knows, but that's what I can offer for intel.
Yeah I feel every time I reach out they say "keep hope" and it is definitely easier said than done. I know they usually accept about 60-70 people off the waitlist out of a total of 170-200 people on the waitlist, so that's a good number that gives me some hope.
That's good to know. Thanks for sharing!
It's just annoying because I've literally seen no movement for the campus that I applied to and the person who said "keep hope" was for Athens and not for Cleveland which makes me feel that the Cleveland campus isn't going to be pulling people off. It also makes me feel that I won't even be offered a seat.
Did you rank both Cleveland and Athens or only Cleveland? I have heard "keep hope" from both campuses, but I know that Athens usually has the most waitlist movement since their class is the biggest across all 3 campuses.
Hey I'm sorry man I really hope you get in. You're really dedicated to this school so having you would be very valuable.
I ranked Cleveland over Athens, but I mean I want to go to school you know. I live in Cleveland so.
I've already toured the school. But I'm not applying again because this is my 3rd application cycle for med school since 2016. I'm just tired.
My fingers are crossed that it works out for you. I'm really sorry; that's so tough. I can't imagine how frustrating that would be.
Hopefully, we will both get that A soon and let the waiting game be over!
Feeling overwhelmed and burnt out during this process is normal, especially after waiting so long! Many of us submitted primary and secondary applications almost a year ago and we are still waiting, but do not give up! I know many people got off the waitlist in June and July, so it is not over yet!
Is there anything they said needs work on your application? If wait list movement isn't happening much you may be able to get some hours in and update before they start accepting off of the waitlist.
Nope not really which is even more disheartening
I agree with this comment. Did you originally ask them what was causing hesitation after your interview? They told me what they believed was the issue with my app and it helped a lot to hear that.
Meanwhile I was told that there was nothing wrong with my application or interview and I don't need to change anything and just keep hoping
