In last years thread someone got off WL in late April but idk if that might happen this year
Yes that's right, except for the fact that June 24th is just MUSC's deadline. It is school-specific what actual date you have to select "Commit to Enroll". Ideally and probably in practice most people make their final decisions before that. There are also a number of deadlines that will help facilitate waitlist movement besides just Commit. One example is that MUSC requires accepted students to limit their acceptances to one on May 2nd. Another example is that the last day to have the deposit to secure your seat fully refunded is May 15. For a school like Downstate, the deposit is "only" $100, whereas at MUSC it's $450. So these types of deadlines should also cause shifting. So annoyingly complicated!!
Thank you for clarifying, would the April 30th deadline of planning to enroll also cause some movement?
So there is no April 30th deadline for "Plan to Enroll". April 30th is the day "Commit to Enroll" becomes available, however "Plan to Enroll" is still available too. If what you mean is, since "Commit to Enroll" becomes available, would there then be waitlist movement around May 1 as people are able to submit their definitive decision? Sure, I would imagine so! I couldn't even begin to speculate on the amount, as I'm just a blind, desperate pre med like all of you. 😭

Link below with some info, though it’s from a couple years ago.
Congrats!! I wonder why they put you on the AL in the first place lol
I didn’t do any forms or anything, just accepted the AL offer
When did you interview?
September, good luck to everyone waiting hoping for the best for you <3
This gives me immense hope. I also was put on the AL yesterday. I interviewed in early December
This really makes me hopeful
If you don't mind sharing, what was your MCAT score? Clearly you were at the top of the AL, and wondering where I stand in this rank.
That’s awesome, congratulations!! Did you submit a letter of intent if you don’t mind me asking?
Congratulations!! Did they email you or did they call you?
They emailed and said they reached a “final decision.” I didn’t send a letter of intent, but I did send a letter of continued interest in Nov and again in Jan. And I had a 514.
Who exactly did they call and when did they call?
Its really strange. The AL status update said the class is full but they haven't sent out that many acceptances
class is full means they have sent out enough acceptances to fill all available seats (assuming a yield of 100%).
Why 5 business days? We can expect the wave of As to happen in early May once Downstate has reliable data on how many open seats they have and how many As they can send to fill these seats.
From previous years' thread it seems 2 weeks after the big WL Wave in April , people started receiving A's. So it may be possible to see some A's being given out in 1-2 Weeks since our recent AL wave. If they aren't sent out at that time then its more likely that they will be released in the start of May.
5 business days is the amount of time we have to respond to either withdraw or be placed on the waitlist, so I just assumed that they would be firing off acceptances once this period is over
Nah. If they were in a position to send acceptances, they wouldn’t need to wait any number of business days. They wouldn’t have exclusively waitlisted and would have sent As As as well. They don’t care how many people accept the WL or withdraw. They care how many people with As withdraw
I just want to say that this is giving me immense hope as I am on the waitlist!!!!!!!! Do you know who said this?
It's been less than 24 hours of wait time and you're already getting annoyed at Downstate? You are in for a good time
Lol thanks for at least making me smile.
