[monsterdonuts]

also got the call - all glory to God! interviewed on 1/10

 

[moose_45]

to those who haven't gotten anything, does that mean we are waitlisted?

I'm definitely getting worried...

 

[mapvi]

ya me too---did anyone get rejected or a hold? the delusional part of me thinks i'm getting a call lol but i'm guessing it's a hold--email forthcoming next week?

Yeah, in past years they’ve reevaluated everyone in April, then notify some that they want to keep them on the waitlist and will send Rs to everyone else.

I didn’t get a call either so definitely bummed, but congratulations to everyone accepted! VTC seems like a great program. 😊 Maybe a couple more of us will snag an A from the waitlist eventually!

 

[tryingtogetin123]

pre-ii R

I am fine with that because I was fortunate to receive an A from a school I like but "VTCSOM has declined to invite you to interview" as the email title is low-key a turnoff.

Anyway, good luck to everyone! I hope we all cross paths as future doctors one day :')

 

[FinalJeopardy]

Just got my active status pool email. MSAR doesn't have any waitlist info

is it safe to say that you are waitlisted if you have received no communication yet?

any idea how many people get off the waitlist...i assume it's low since the class is only 49. I don't have MSAR or would check!

 

[FiletFrenzy]

Pre-II R yesterday. Super bummed, but onward we march!

 

[Violetear]

Withdrew my acceptance. Best of luck to the fortunate person who gets accepted (hopefully soon) and attends; seems like an incredible school!

 

[mlgprori]

Has anyone been rejected post-interview?

 

[onthelongroad123]

Does anyone know about the waitlist movement at this school?

[speck76]

Do they have some kind of strict 50/50 gender approach or something?

 

[moose_45]

Post II R this morning. It was my only interview.

 

[aviationiscool]

Just got notification that I was put on the WL. Anyone have any insight into how VTC manages the WL?

 

[onthelongroad123]

also on the active waitlist

 

[mapvi]

also on the active waitlist

I can’t imagine very many of us will get off the waitlist, but fingers crossed!

You’d be surprised! This is a school that’s skews toward research heavy applicants and there are many universities interested in the same applicants.

 

[pre-spring]

Has everybody been placed on the waitlist or were some rejected? Based on last year's thread some were rejected, but don't know if they're doing that this year. Was also wondering when do you guys think it would be the best time to send an update letter or a letter of interest? Was planning to send one this week since I thought decisions would come early April, but not so sure now.

 

[onthelongroad123]

mm anyone knows how big the waitlist is? or how many get off. MSAR just released data if anyone has acess

agree. looks like VTC likes applicants with lots of research. there's definitely hope but I wish it came sooner. the 10-month wait is brutal....

 

[DominusFatiMei]

Interviewed 10/15, Active-status 12/15. Active WL today 03/22. I believe they have a post-interview season round of acceptances in April.

I interviewed here two cycles ago and was active status pool but never put on the active waitlist and instead got the R at the end of April. None of their emails are worded the same this time around, but from what I can tell they did what they usually do in early April in late March instead this year. Especially considering the wording “Our admissions committee completed their final round of voting,” that they sent in the email today which would usually refer to that last April round of voting.

awesome yea, so I guess, now it's just they have an internal rank or something and they can just call people as seats open up? were you waitlisted twice? that happened to me too at another school

Yeah, I think they're doing things differently this time around. Initially I was planning on sending an update this week for the last voting round in early April, but I'm not so sure now.

Yeah, I don’t think we’ll ever know what position we’re at and will just have to hope for the best!

Yeah, waitlists are rough I was waitlisted at my state school that year and was really close to being admitted (we knew our number and where the list was at), so I only applied to my state school the following year and then they just gave me a straight R. 🙃 So here I am yet again, but I have some DO acceptances this time so I’m very thankful that I’ll finally get to start school even if VTC doesn’t pan out.

I’m inclined to say it won’t influence anything at this point, but who knows! Maybe they still move us around on the waitlist internally

ok, I think late April/ early may be some movement....maybe the nice people who have multiple acceptances and want to withdraw and make choices? lol

oh god, it's always the state school that does something fishy,.was this in Georgia btw

Haha nope! In the Midwest.

 

[onthelongroad123]

called admission, expect movement after April 30

Last year there was quite a bit of movement, but it seems like they may have all been passing around the same admissions offer lol

Do you mean to the same students?

 

[mapvi]

Do you mean to the same students?

Several of the sdn comments from last year say something along the lines of “Just accepted off of the WL but withdrawing, hope it goes to one of you,” and then the next person would say the same. So I’m assuming to some extent it was the same seat(s) that they all kept passing to the next person. I have absolutely no evidence to back that up and it’s not very important, just an observation 🤷🏼‍♀️

 

[soggymoo]

class of 2026 is 30% dudes, I'd say no

There is a significant number of students who got in off WL it was not a single spot being passed around.

 

[aviationiscool]

those of you on the waitlist, did anyone get an AMCAS email?

Nope :/ It also doesn't show in the CYMS tool on AMCAS like the email stated

 

[MCapensis]

Nope :/ It also doesn't show in the CYMS tool on AMCAS like the email stated

Mine shows up in CYMS

 

[E2RXN]

I believe (anyone correct me if I'm wrong) it only becomes available after you've been accepted by at least one school. Afterwards you will be able to see other waitlist offers.

 

[onthelongroad123]

Would sending an additional letter of recommendation to Virginia tech help if you are on a waitlist?

 

[soggymoo]

Would sending an additional letter of recommendation to Virginia tech help if you are on a waitlist?

I would say no. But if you haven't reached out directly to admissions yourself yet (esp. phone call), I wouldn't discourage that...

 

[onthelongroad123]

haha, will hiking in Ronoake get me off the waitlist lol

 

[mapvi]

I would say no. But if you haven't reached out directly to admissions yourself yet (esp. phone call), I wouldn't discourage that...

Any chance I could PM you? (your PMs are currently closed)

 

[HauntingDevil_0776]

Anyone heard back regarding the scholarships (the ones where you have to write an essay and apply)? Or am I safe to assume that I got nothing lol

 

[FinalJeopardy]

Has anyone gotten the lucky waitlist A since April 15th?

 

[roadtoMD!]

Does anyone know if VTC is P/F for all four years and also if there is internal ranking? Additionally, do they have a Step 2 dedicated study period?

 

[onthelongroad123]

We should hear next week about the waitlist right?

 

[MCapensis]

We should hear next week about the waitlist right?

I sure do hope so! Does anyone have insight on this?

 

[speck76]

Hello! Anybody know if there’s a GroupMe for accepted students ?
