Back in April 27th 2021, the status update was written in the following way:
“Dear Applicant,
Thanks for interviewing with UCR SOM. It was a pleasure meeting you and getting to know more about you at the MMI day. We were impressed with your application and at this time, I wanted to personally reach out to you and let you know that we hadn’t forgotten you. We are pleased to let you know that you remain on our wait list while we are in the final stages of admitting our incoming class. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any other member of the admissions team.
Sincerely,
[Redacted], MD MPH”
Could it be that the status update, from last month, was a waitlist notification in disguise? We can each decide what to make of it 🫠
