If we get waitlisted, do we have to wait till April/May for them to pull of the waitlist or will they pull off the waitlist during the third wave?

PS: No decision yet, but just curious about the process.
 
Waitlisted at 12:23 PM EST. Interviewed late October. Anyone have an idea about waitlist movement at this school historically?
 
According to MSAR, 25 acceptances are given to applicants on the waitlist.
 
Wait so they didn't send any pre-II rejections today?
Congratulations to all the A's!
 
I interviewed 12/1 and didn't receive any decision yesterday. However, I just received an email with the subject 'Interim Dean Theodore DeWeese Congratulates You on Your Acceptance to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine' with a generic JHU acceptance email. Was this the same email that other accepted students got? Or did you receive a personalized email saying "Dear XYZ, you have been accepted..."?

Like others said, I received both but I got the personalized one yesterday around noon and then the generic one you are describing this morning. I would definitely reach out if the personalized one isn’t in your spam box!
 
Bro I literally applied here as a total hail mary, how have my 50X MCAT and 5.6X GPA not already gotten me a pre-II rejection before anybody else on this forum lol
 
does anyone know if hopkins take post ii update and letter of intent?
 
thanks! is there a place to upload them or should i email? i can't find anything on the website.
Yeah you can send to Valeria mazza email should be somewhere in some communication.
how soon after an interview do you think it would be appropriate to send an update?
I feel like it depends for school, but usually schools will review applicants post II within two weeks of the interview being done and place them on the list, so within two weeks best bet in general. Thats not to say that they won't read it if its passed that 2 weeks but for best chance 2 weeks imo.
 
Has anyone sent an update that was accepted? I sent an update earlier this week and got no confirmation. Upon looking on their website, apparently they don't accept updates?

I was confused about this too, and asked after my interview.

I ended up submitting combined interest/update letter and was accepted. Mrs Mazza responded same day acknowledging update.
