The article says that it will apply to the class starting in fall 2023
Oh, lovely. I missed that. Thank you
I spoke with a current medical student and they said the in-person/virtual breakdown of classes has been fluctuating with more virtual activities during Covid surges and more in-person activities when cases are low (e.g. virtual exams vs. in-person). For now, it seems that students have the option of attending in-person or webcasting. The administration is still working to rework the virtual vs. in-person aspects of the curriculum to facilitate community building while allowing for learning style flexibility. It appears their goal is to maintain some virtual aspects of the current curriculum while transitioning to more in-person activities when the incoming class starts their first quarter.
Edited to add that this is specific to the Seattle site. Each site has some flexibility based on their own needs.
They have taken two alternates from the Spokane cohort so far. I am not sure how this compares to previous years, but just from reading the messages from 2020-2021, it looked like like three or four alternates were accepted for the Seattle cohort around this time last year and quite a few more by mid-April. I didn't see much chatter about the other cohorts. Regardless, I would take it all with a grain of salt, since each year is different, each cohort is different, and we all have different rankings. Though, the one thing that seems pretty certain is that we should all have a pretty good indication of our standing by the first week of May.
last year we got Thursday and Friday, but we had class until 5 or 5:30 on Wednesday. We made a big stink about it, though, so fingers crossed they fix that for next year
We only just passed the "hold no more than three acceptances" date so we may observe some movement this week.
Also nervously tracking it... there might be a system lag in how soon it updates on the portal. The SDN UW threads seem more active for previous years since people self-reported their admission off the waitlist. I'm not sure if the portal updated as quickly as people reported.
Same boat! I'm waitlisted around the mid-30s and trying my best to not think about what waitlist trends are, but failing at it.
I’m sub-20 and will update once/if I get off the waitlist. Hopefully the portal will update before then. Best of luck!
That’s very encouraging, thank you! Wishing you the best, my friend.
If you are in Seattle I found. T-Shirt at the main University Bookstore
Would there be any movement during the weekend or do they only do weekdays?
Thanks for the update!
Congratulations!! Overjoyed for you
I'm on the Seattle campus WL, but I am also freaking out! It seems like WL movement this year is much less than in the last two years... :/ This is a good test for staying calm in uncertain situations!
Thank you!!Congratulations!! Overjoyed for you
Congrats!! Was that for the Seattle/OOR cohort? My portal still just says 4 people off the list, so maybe it just hasn't been updated yet?
Yup, Seattle/OOR! I think there is a lag in the portal. They are at least at #16 now but I wouldn't be surprised if they've moved even further down the list!
Give it some time and try not to dwell on it. The CER deadline is not until June 14th, which is a long time for things to settle. Try to find something productive to do to get you through this initial angst.
From the acceptance email: “Applicants accepted on or prior to April 30th have two weeks to respond to our offer; applicants accepted after April 30th have one week.”
Thank you!!
