Thank you! I was on 3 waitlists (UNC, Brody, USC Greenville) and have heard back with As from all 3 in the last week. Pretty surreal after playing the waiting game last year, sitting on 1 waitlist all summer and hanging on until late July. My portal also changed

Congratulations!!! What do you think made the difference this cycle on getting the A?
For some context, I interviewed at UNC last cycle and was rejected without getting waitlisted. My GPA and MCAT did not change. I spent significantly more time on interview prep and essay editing compared to last cycle. I also spent a year as a medical assistant in a community health center. Whatever it was for me, please remind yourself that there is some amount of luck and randomness associated with getting an A. If you've made it this far, you will surely be a doctor one day!

Happy Tuesday, I think we’ll be seeing some movement today. Fingers crossed!

Is WL movement usually on Tuesday's as well or just when slots open up?

Just wishful thinking and speculation. Last week decisions came out Tuesday, and based on previous threads, it seems like the second week of May gets a decent amount of movement.

Do we have any idea what time of day people typically receive news? Either R or a phone call?

Most post I’ve seen are usually in the afternoon for acceptances, and a good amount are around 2-3pm. I don’t think I’ve seen anybody gotten a call about a R yet. They usually do an email dump at the end for Rs.
has anyone oos been accepted off the waitlist?
Got the call Dr Rahangdale called that I was accepted off the WL this morning (5/10) around 9am!

Ahh gotcha! I was wondering if there was a time of day people typically receive an email or portal update with an R. Thank you!!

Probably going to see a little bit of waitslist movement today. The Facebook group dropped by 1 last week.

I can't find that facebook group at all - I can only see the private undergrad page. What's the name of the Facebook group you guys are tracking?
Any news?

Just got accepted off the waitlist about an hour ago!
Congrats!!
Anyone know if they pull people off WL in June and July too?

That probably depends if anyone drops that late. I saw the facebook page drop to 186 so we should see a little movement sometime next week. Going forward, movement is going to be a lot slower if any.
Is anyone in the Facebook group that can give us an idea of how many are actually apart of class of 2026 versus admin/other students?

At most 5 admin/current students -- I have noticed people leaving the GroupMe but not sure if they left the Facebook group too.

Have any other waitlisted appliants gotten a tab on their portal for uploading OSHA certifications/profile pictures and stuff like that?
Mine also says that...
Same
In this mix as well

Looks like it might be generic, but at the same time I wonder if it means anything since it's asking for things you'd do when you get accepted lol
New question: did anyone NOT get this portal update?

I also got this...but it seems like most people did so unless all of us got it I feel like it may not mean much 🙁

If I email admissions about it to see if we need to do anything, would you guys want updates?

I also called admissions with my question, and if Dr. Reed responds by phone I'll let y'all know!

Haha I also emailed admissions too so if I hear anything I will absolutely put it here too!

Ok I got a response back - they told me to ignore it if I wasn't an accepted applicant and that it is an IT issue 🙁 was hoping for a deeper meaning for sure!!

177 students are in the groupme if that was your question. Out of those i believe the same 5 are present as admin/current students, not 100% sure though.

Yeah, it’s June tomorrow so I think it’s time to start thinking next steps. Currently applying for a new job and working on finishing my apps for next cycle.
It was a good run folks! But I think waitlist movements are going to be really limited from now on. Hope one of us gets lucky though! I’ll see you guys on next years thread!!!
