Glad she’s actually making calls!! I told her when I interviewed a few years ago that calls >emails.
So happy for you! I also got the call last night. The same was mentioned to me, more calls, and she foresees more change in numbers mid may
Would you mind if I pm you with a couple questions I had about this?
Can I message you as well with questions?
Not looking good my brother
Causing much pain and suffering which could be alleviated .....
Wouldn’t you think they had a modicum of decency to send final decisions if the class was set?
I think the reason they don’t is because they could theoretically have someone drop or defer a year between now and orientation in August. Their waitlist is thinning, so if a spot opened up last minute they would wanna pull someone off of it to ensure they fill their class. Though the vibe I get from recent WL townhalls is that is VERY unlikely though no impossible.
All I’m saying is that an update is indicated….
Because they aren't. They say they may pull from the WL anytime between tomorrow and Aug 23. If someone withdraws OR defers OR randomly doesn't show up to orientation (which they report hasn't happened in the current leadership's memory), they will pull from the WL. Now, I know their CTE date has come and gone; unless anyone was pulled off the WL in the last week, I'm going to assume all 144 are CTE at Rush. However, let's say there's 50 of us on the WL right now- rough estimate. Well, I'd estimate 20 of them will drop off of it by August 23 due to committing to other schools; I'll be one of them at the end of the week if I'm not pulled off. Now, let's say hypothetically 1 person drops between now and orientation. Well, the WL is unranked; depending on who drops out of the class may determine who the committee pulls off the WL. If med student Johnny drops out, that may mean they pull applicant Jessica from the WL, whereas if med student Rebecca drops, applicant Jeremy is pulled from the WL for example.
