I received an acceptance this morning as well off the first tier WL. Interviewed 3/17 and WL on 4/10. Mid 500s MCAT and 4.0 GPA, OOS.
Historically, there has been pretty good movement off WLs, so what makes this year different? Well this year there was relatively recent approval for a later start date; this is the variable that sets this year apart from others. If we loosely apply Occam's Razor, it seems reasonable that adcoms is moving through the WL a bit slower as they have been afforded additional time to deliberate candidates - to me this seems more plausible than adcoms shifting historical protocols to attain the target class size, or that students this year are simply holding on to acceptance in record numbers exceeding the previous 5 or so cycles. Anyway, I just made this account today to let you guys know that there's still movement at this time, I know you each will make exceptional physicians - believe in yourselves as you've already made it this far.
