[sanger23]

2019 world series was OP. Never forget it

 

[sanger23]

lmao in 1919 the cheaters won, in 2019 the cheaters were defeated tho

 

[DOcSto]

With the way the Sox are playing this year, I'm really hoping my WLs pull through. Morale is low!

Note: Grateful for an A already, but still hoping for one of my WL schools. GL everyone!

It seems to be super silent today as far as movement goes

Is anyone else feeling like straight trash? I don't know how much longer I can cope. I've been staying off SDN and Reddit for the most part, but I'm constantly thinking about not getting in.

I feel this. Trying to keep myself distracted but it’s so hard

I feel you. Have been drinking half a bottle of wine every day since 5/2.

Dude even the wine isn't working for me. I think the hardest thing for me is that there is literally nothing I can do. My fate is up to chance.

This. The feeling of powerlessness really hurts. My entire life is on hold right now it sucks

Anyone know what weeks are considered peak for WL movement?

Hi guys lemme tell you a quick story- I was EXACTLY where you were one year ago. I had 4 WL's, no A's and to boot I was laid off from my job. DO NOT OBSESS OVER SDN. It isnt going to make you feel better. You have to reclaim a sense of purpose- whatever it may be. Prep a reapp hard. Try to learn something new. KEEP ACTIVE. I feel into the worst pit i had ever been in, and not that it was preventable but I did so much to make my situation worse. deep breaths. worst case you reapply. it'll all be ok.

It seems that some schools didn't understand the question. For example, it defies credulity that Wayne State took 300 folks off the waitlist.
Since most of the schools that gave plausible answers gave round numbers, those schools may have given a reasonable estimates.
That said, these are not data generated by an objective third party (like AMCAS), so they can be unreliable (except for all the ones that said "variable!").

What are your thoughts on Baylor's 500-550 and 15 being accepted? Does that seem reasonable considering Baylor is such a good school so nobody is going to deny their initial offer, thereby leaning out waitlist movement significantly?

They interviewed 852 for a class of 185.
It's certainly possible that 500+ of them could have been waitlisted and 15 accepted off that list

 

[ujsc]

Isn't that kind of wait-list purgatory abuse? 😩😩

Brutal. I actually thought I had a chance before I saw that statistic oh well

 

[kenykj49]

Yall aren't going to believe this, but I just got accepted off one of my WL. YOUR TIME IS COMING, STAY STRONG.

 

[star-lily]

Manifesting this outcome... WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN TO ME AHHHHHH

 

[applicant117]

it says VCU puts 100 on wL and pulls of 75, when in reality they put over 250 people on it the last few years lol

 

[futuredoc345]

My WL school just offered more interviews. As if they don’t have a whole WL to pull from this is my 13th reason

It’s like the curse of having options. I hate seeing my top choices taking people off the waitlist. I guess it’s time to come to terms with where I am accepted and be grateful for my options.

I wonder if this means more WL movement or less?

I will say, I searched through the thread in Minnesota for last year cycle, and so far I see more waitlist movement this year

 

[jack326]

Why have the WL gods forsaken me 😢!!! What have I done to deserve this?!?!?

 

[BioPsychotic]

After 9 months of waiting, I got the A off the WL at my dream program earlier today! Don’t lose hope!!!

Congrats! Where were you accepted?

 

[Moko]

To those who have gotten off waitlists:
Congratulations! Shameless plug: please consider volunteering to be a personal statement reader for this coming cycle's applicants. Every personal statement matters, even if you can only volunteer for one day (it'll also help keep the personal statement reader thread on top of the front page)! Thank you for considering.

To those who are still waiting:
Chin up, your time will come. Figure out where things may have gone wrong and address them prior to reapplying. It may take you more than one attempt to get in, but you will be a doctor all the same in the end. Please remember that acceptances/rejections are not reflections of your worth and potential. There are unfortunately too many qualified applicants for the number of seats available. With any reapplication, you will have at least one additional year of experiences and wisdom. Best of luck.

 

[hypocheezit]

After almost losing all hope yesterday, I finally got off a WL last night! SO excited! Hoping things work out for you all!

 

[BioPsychotic]

Congrats! Where were you accepted?

Thank you so much! I sent you a DM!!

 

[highlander11]

[siloaddict]
