May 1st is tomorrow, so there's a good chance a solid chunk of those people in the FB group will select other schools.

Just got an email with the following message:
“Our wait list review at the Georgetown University School of Medicine is on-going as seats become available. Priority is given to those that have submitted a letter of interest.

If you no longer wish to remain on the wait list: Please respond to this email as soon as possible requesting that your application be withdrawn. Please include your full name and AMCAS ID.

Applicants who remain on the wait list will receive consideration until the class matriculates in August unless a formal withdrawal request is sent to [email protected].”

Sadly not there either. I don’t want to bother admissions but now I’m nervous lol….

Personally I’d take it as a good sign

Perhaps you’re a confirmed A

 

[Buttercup17]

Did anyone get a confirmation email when they accepted their place on the waitlist? I got the initial email stating I’m on the waitlist but no confirmation after that. I’m starting to wonder if something went wrong on my end.

I did not receive a confirmation email after accepting the waitlist offer.

I don't think there is any confirmation email regarding accepting a place on the waitlist. You can check what they've emailed you on the portal.

 

[canea]

So not everyone on the waitlist got the email about potential movement?

I did not but I have already sent an LOI. Did anyone get this email that had submitted one as well?

Same! I’m not sure what to make of it.

 

[kkitkat]

I couldn’t view the email until I looked in the “All mail” tab. This might work for you?

Yeah I just checked that and I didn’t see it. Also I checked my communication status history on the portal and my last communication from them was just the WL decision

 

[mutedenergy]

Ngl now I’m freaking out bc I did get the email…

Hate this so much

 

[mutedenergy]

For reference, I sent 2 letters before my WL on march 21. Did not send a letter since? I’m wondering if it’s been radio silence from me post WL they’re wondering if I’m still interested?? Idk

 

[liao1]

Withdrew yesterday good luck everyone 🙂

I got the email and have sent two LOI and an update letter after being waitlisted…so confused about what this means! 😬

Me too😳 maybe yield protection to make sure that they don’t extend As to people who wouldn’t say yes??

i think it could honestly go either way don't

do you send the letters of intent the same place you upload update letters

 

[marebear1914]

Yes on the waitlist letters page of the portal with the text box…unfortunately you can’t label them they just post as text box entries

Tbh I think it’s better you DID get an email.. I feel nervous that I didn’t get one

Withdrawing my spot on the waitlist here!

Much love to Georgetown! I'm leaving DC behind this summer for greener pastures, but I hope everyone who is coming here anew is able to find lots to enjoy in the area! If this is where you are, and you like biking, you're super close to the Capital Crescent Trail leading up into Bethesda Row. Highly recommend the little day trip up there.

That's my nugget of wisdom. Best of luck to each of you!

 

[dartosfascia10]

so...when are they going to start pulling people off the waitlist?

i think possibly from next week since the cyms glitch just got fixed yesterday? 🤞

 

[scullybean]

What was the glitch?

 

[slsjenrofk17384]

What was the glitch?

So one of the admissions officer & and a moderator for sdn commented that there was a glitch in aamc where admissions officers could not really trust the data provided regarding whether or not their WLed students have Pte at other schools. The glitch was fixed last night!

is it bad to have planned to enroll for other schools while on the waitlist?

So that schools (even ones that have started rolling out admissions) are expected to Have more A’s?

 

[HeadEmpty91]

Last year they started pulling heavily around May 15, I think it's been that way for the last few years! Not sure how this glitch will impact it!

 

[slsjenrofk17384]

Noo I don't think it's bad at all! Sometimes I think it's better because schools feel competitive towards you? 😅 especially if you stated clearly that you will accept their acceptance right away!!

I'm not sure :/.... Hopefully, but i think this will be very school dependent

 

[springrollz]

Do we think the class is full? It was so interesting how they had so much WL movement before may 1st

 

[ibubrofen]

If this helps - GroupMe is currently at 79 people and a few people have left and joined over the past week

 

[TarantulasAreScary]

Who wants to take one for the team and ask if the class is full 😅

 

[sir norbiez]

I really hope the class is not full lmao but it seems like it’s not

 

[slsjenrofk17384]

I dont think the class is full considering how they used to pull up a lot of WLs in the past. I think its just that the process is a but slower this year

 

[pre-spring]

Why is there such a large discrepancy from the facebook group? The facebook group is at like 190. The other school I'm accepted at also has like 30-40 people more on the facebook group than the groupme, but it's like a 100 here.

 

[dartosfascia10]

I guarantee that the class is far from full at this point. Based on last year's SDN thread, they sent out a bunch of A's to waitlisted applicants on May 15th. Plus, I personally know a bunch of current Georgetown med students who were waitlisted and accepted in both May and June

I think we can expect some WL movement either later this week or by the end of next week

I noticed that a bunch of current students joined the Facebook group to post about housing and such, so I def wouldn't be concerned about that number. Plus I feel like people forget and don't always leave these groups as soon as they withdraw.

 

[TarantulasAreScary]

Waiting to find out when we’ll hear back is excruciating, especially because there is no info on which order we will come off the waitlist

Based on previous posts in this year's thread as well as last year's thread, it seems like they tend to send out A's on Thursdays/Fridays. Obviously this is just my quick observation, but I think some decisions will go out either later this week and/or late next week!

 

[illiteratedunce]

do u guys think calls will go out tomorrow? This is going to be a stressful weekend--

 

[mutedenergy]

Personally, I think they will be released on Sunday!

 

[premed-dodo]

How is everyone feeling? I'm a bit apprehensive that there was no movement today.
