I'm definitely getting worried...
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!

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 :')

Pre-II R yesterday. Super bummed, but onward we march!
Does anyone know about the waitlist movement at this school?
are you a man or a woman lol? wanna see if i should get my hopes up
Do they have some kind of strict 50/50 gender approach or something?

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

Waitlist Information
Typical number of waitlist positions per cycleVaries
Number of acceptance offers granted to applicants on the waitlist
Not Provided
Waitlist procedures and information
Interviewed applicants not initially accepted are re-evaluated in April. Qualified applicants are offered a seat or held on an active wait list until the incoming class matriculates.
^this is all thats on MSAR about the waitlist
thanks for sharing!
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.

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?
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 🤷🏼♀️
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.

Mine shows up in CYMS
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.
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...
haha, will hiking in Ronoake get me off the waitlist lol
Any chance I could PM you? (your PMs are currently closed)
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
Has anyone gotten the lucky waitlist A since April 15th?
