Woke up to waitlist

 

[sonder88]

Is it frowned upon to send a waitlist update letter, or should we just wait it all out?

The admissions people are very nice so I doubt it would negatively effect your application. But I think the waitlist is ranked, so I'm not sure how much good it could do.

Does anyone know when waitlisted students start to hear back?

 

[jamaica jan sun princess]

Through the end of July. Fun, right?

 

[ma26]

A current med student told me within the next 2-3 weeks.

 

[sonder88]

That's pretty nerve-racking omg

Thank you so much! Best of luck going forward in medical school 😊

 

[starshipsweremeanttofly]

Just withdrew my spot on the WL! I hope this helps with some movement for you all!

 

[sonder88]

I believe today is when all of the students narrow down to one school so that is when waitlist movements from schools should all start moving, if i am correct.

 

[cap26]

Did anyone decline their acceptance? It seems that the Facebook group size has stayed pretty constant. Or anyone been accepted off the waitlist?

 

[sonder88]

There's a facebook group for med school entering class of 2022?

 

[ma26]

Yes, it’s titled USA COM Class of 2026

I wouldn't give up hope. South accepted 30 of the ~40 alternates last year

I am on the waitlist. Anyone else on the waitlist hear anything yet? I was hoping we’d hear this week.

Haven't heard anything either, are the number of waitlist acceptances constant over the years, isnt this cycle a more competitive cycle?

I have not heard anything yet either, unfortunately.

I have no idea. The waitlist is usually about 40 people, and they tend to take about 30 of those. 2 years ago, my friends who were on the waitlist with USA found out they got in on May 1st. But I don’t know anyone on the waitlist this year who has heard anything yet. I’m guessing they’re just being slow?

 

[sonder88]

Do you know how many acceptances and matriculants they had for last tear and the year before?

Their class size is always 75

Oh I see, right now the facebook group chat is 83 so i wanted to ask

Yeah, I saw that. I’m hoping a lot of those are admin/current students

 

[blondie313]

An acquaintance of mine from class was also on the waitlist. Apparently she got an email with acceptance last week on 5/3/22. She’s the only person I know on the waitlist that has heard anything.

I haven’t heard of anyone else coming off the waitlist either; however, the only people I know on the waitlist are fellow SDN commenters.

 

[blondie313]

A friend of mine just got in from the waitlist today.

Has anyone talking to admissions recently? I wonder if there will be any more waitlist movement.

I got accepted off the waitlist 2 days ago and I also know of someone that recently got off it as well.

Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate it. The waiting really is getting to me.

Ugh. Me too. I just wanna know

I second that. Every update is bittersweet since there's still movement but it's also one less available spot lol

 

[blondie313]

The Facebook group has 94 members now…. Should I be worried? 😰

My friend is in the groupme and said that there is only ~50 people in there, which is including a few upperclassmen. There's still hope I'm sure

Fingers crossed, but im sure also that groupme is less popular of a social app

 

[blondie313]

Any updates? Y’all know anyone else that’s gotten in?

 

[deleted1128987]

Silent on my end

 

[sonder88]

Does anyone who got in currently know the class size?

 

[sonder88]

Any responses?

 

[blondie313]

[deleted1128987]
