Would a medical student ever give the call or would it mainly be the physicians? My interview was a 4th year student and a physician.

You should hear from both of your traditional interviewers- for most people that would have been 1 faculty and 1 student, but some people had 2 students or faculty. Regardless, we all got the email with the list and were told to call 🙂

I will say this, I will try to pledge to do my best to extend to my future medical school classmates (hopefully at UNC-CH and/or otherwise), the compassion, caring, and kindness, I vow to show my future patients if I am blessed enough to become a physician. Strength, to all my friends (now known or to be known), brothers, sisters, and/or family as we wait. Lifting up us all.
 
I'm wondering if they'll wait to see who all actually accepts an A this week and then roll out more A's and a waitlist next week? I guess it's only 1:30 and some folks in earlier waves heard back even as late as Thursday but I'm just trying to stay positive lol
 
+1 . Anyone know if the also do rejections, or just waitlist everyone? let’s not give up hope yet. Not over until it’s over

+1 re WL. WL is better than flat-out rejection. I will take a WL. Hope for the best.

+1 Waitlist! Interviewed in November, IS LM 68. Good luck to everyone! Manifesting movement! 🤞🏻
 
There wasn't supposed to be a confirmation email after accepting the waitlist, right?
 
Hi everyone, just wanted to pop in to reassure everyone that got the WL email that it is very true that a good number of people get in off the WL every year, though I don't have specific numbers or know how they select which people to take off the list. My thought would be that they might try to replace students who decline the A with a similar student in terms of background/experience/what they bring to the class, but I can't say that for sure.
Also, someone messaged me about advice for students who might be facing key decisions in the uncertainty of the waitlist right now, so I can comment on that here. I really wish I had some general advice, but honestly there's no one-size-fits-all recommendation. I personally, would be planning things in case I didn't get off the waitlist, especially if you would be trying to reapply this year, but that's specific to me. If anyone is looking for more personal advice, feel free to message me, though I can only tell you what I think the best option is and others may have different/better opinions.
 
Thank you, Alibon! I will put this out there for the applicants in this thread: Obviously a waitlisted applicant whose MCAT scores are expiring will have to devote significant time to retaking the MCAT for one final reapplication. But would you suggest this route for reapplicants who have been waitlisted a first or second time (and whose MCAT scores are still eligible)? It's probably not wise to wait until the last week in July to begin studying for the MCAT for the next application cycle.

I'm a little confused, are you asking if you should retake the MCAT now if you're currently waitlisted but your scores are valid through the 2024 cycle? Like you're assuming you won't make it off the waitlist this year and will be rejected/not make it off the waitlist again next year too?
 
Apologies! My confusing question demonstrates why you suggested applicants reach out for personal, individual advice! 🙂 There are applicants who have been waitlisted in prior cycle(s) and who wonder if they should have retaken the MCAT rather than strengthen their application with other experiences (and might now be doubting their decisions since they are once again waitlisted). If only there was a formula... I will encourage them to reach out.

Ah okay I understand now. I think they made the right decision. If they got an interview and made it on the waitlist, then the school saw their scores and deemed them good enough (twice it sounds like). If they had asked back then, I would've advised them to focus on strengthening other parts of their app rather than spend time and money on a score that was already sufficient.
