They are supposedly two separate waitlists. So I think that in state applicants can only get in state spots and vice versa
Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
Did your email specifically say “non-resident utah waitlist”? If it did then it is probably also it’s own waitlist. Mine only said “utah” waitlist

R +1. Interviewed October. Good luck all!
Yep, it says non resident Utah waitlist…. how complicated. It sounds like there might be 3+ different waitlists

There is likely a waitlist for Idaho applicants/WAAMI, MD/PhD, in state, and out of state because the UU designates a certain # of spots for each.
IS applicant waitlisted 3/4. Interviewed October. LM 66.9. Does anyone know if they notify the top of the waitlist first, trying to gauge my likelihood of acceptance... was in the middle of planning an out of state move for another school and now I'm not sure what to do. Any advice is welcome!

Ya it’s by rank
My wording was a bit off, I mean do you think they notify the top of the waitlist that they have been waitlisted first so that they can continue down the line if people do not accept their position on the waitlist. I wish they'd give a little info on the process! Thank you for your help!
No I don’t think they say anything like that :/
That is a far larger waitlist than I would have expected. Thanks for the info!
Hm wow this is very different from what I’ve heard thanks for the info
Just to clarify, is 100 the total waitlist pool or just utah resident pool? I am in the non-resident pool am wondering what those numbers look like/my chances of getting off.

I asked about the Utah waitlist and this is what they said:
'Thank you for your email. The AAMC waitlist data is accurate. Waitlist outcomes change from year to year. Last year we accepted approximately 40 students from the Utah waitlist and waitlisted approximately 100 Utah residents.'
I would recommend emailing them for out of state info! Takes a few days for them to respond but it definitely helps manage expectations.
I would image the waitlist is larger than previous years due to virtual interviews allowing people to attend more interviews/receive more acceptances. I found other historic waitlist data and it looks like they accepted about 16-30% of their waitlist pre-pandemic.
Also, I've been doing some snooping and it looks like quite a few accepted students are holding onto multiple acceptances, which could be good for us on the WL. Hope this helps!

Can students commit to enroll at a med school yet? I wonder if there will be waitlist movement before May?
There might be movement in April after people with multiple acceptances have to narrow to 3 idk about before that tho.

You can change from Plan to attend to Commit to attend on April 30( first day) and Utah looks for most to Commit that first day. That is the most likely time for movement.

Got one this morning as well. I don’t think it’s a bad sign. From what I’ve heard, I think anyone who got put on the waitlist should get that email at some point.
I haven’t gotten it yet. I did get an email last week from them about applying to pharmacy school tho lol

Yeah so did I - ha. I am really wishing they could give us odds that we will get in this cycle. Makes it hard to apply for new jobs and whatnot.
I’m on the waitlist and haven’t received any emails since the waitlist email… no clue what that means
I think the PROMIS2U program is only relevant for in-state applicants but I might be mistaken.

According to their website, PROMISE2U is given priority to students who faced socioeconomic hardships, grew up in a medically underserved community, and/or is a first-gen college student. So I don't think everyone on the waitlist will get this.

The Idaho legislature voted on a bill which will take effect in Fall of 2023 and have a major financial implication for anyone who is not committed to practicing in Idaho.
From the text of the law here.
This legislation will require Idaho students who enroll in WWAMI Regional Medical Program or the University of Utah School of Medicine to sign a contract with the State Board of Education stipulating that the student will repay monies paid for their education from public funds, unless the student is actively engaged in professional practice in Idaho for four years.
I found out about it via this article summarizing the legislation.

Has anyone heard about the full tuition scholarship for underrepresented populations? They said we would know by April 15th and I’m so anxious about it 🙁
I'm sure they will be understanding
Haven't heard anything yet either. Just two more days, you got this!

Wait they give full ride to underrepresented? That’s new to me. Do you have to apply for it? How does the process work?
The scholarship is open to all accepted students interested in aiding the underserved community. It requires 2 essays and the deadline was about 2 weeks ago. You should have gotten an email if you were accepted.
Have the scholarship awardees been notified?
I believe they have until the end of the day on April 15th to get back to us. I have not received an email yet, will update everyone if I hear anything! Best of luck to everyone who applied!
