CTE isn’t until June 17th for Jacobs, but you still need to follow AAMC’s traffic rules (you can only hold 1 Acceptance after today but can remain on waitlists).
Congrats!!! Did you send a LOI?A off the WL last weeksuper happy and can't wait to meet everyone in the fall!!
Congrats!
Can I ask when you interviewed/ were waitlisted?
Nope. I was WL in December but haven't heard a single thing from them since then
+1, I also sent several update letters
Same here. December WL nothing since
I was accepted off the WL when it started moving May 1st and my interview was in October, WL in December.
So I interviewed in Feb, was put on waitlist on March 25th, and got an acceptance on May 1st. I sent them an update letter just prior to my interview in late January, and then subsequently one in February, March, and April. Some of these had significant updates, some of them were reiterations of previous stories and whatnot, but the main theme was that I am interested in this school above else, intend to practice and serve the communities in Buffalo after medical school, stuff like that. A current medical student told me she got her interview shortly after sending a letter expressing her absolute commitment to serving and staying in Buffalo. I think it'd be wise to send them as many letters as you want but also having some common sense in what you write (even if you don't have significant life-altering stories or changes) and not sending them days apart. Just my two cents on it, but there is still plenty of time for movement. A lot of UBMD physicians told me they got in off the waitlist, some later in May.
Congrats! Were you accepted today?
yup. got the email this morning.
We’ve had a couple new people join yesterday and today
I mean I gave up Buffalo to go to a school with my support system because that was more important to me. I would email Downstate with an update letter or tell them your situation to see what works for you. After that, you should try to make a decision. Support system is everything. Med school will be hard and for me I can not do it without my family. You just have to consider what's best for you.
Polity made one and then there’s a student made one, the student run one is more active, the link below is student made
Unfortunately the emails with waitlist notifications say not to contact admissions regarding movement or position. The class definitely is not full though, in recent years each class has been 180-185 students (GroupMe is at 164), and they are notorious for taking awhile to take applicants off the waitlist, especially IS applicants. Unfortunately, aside from an update letter or letter of intent the only thing left to do is wait and get ready to re apply.
Thanks!
Just curious, how do we know that every accepted student has joined Jacobs GroupMe?
We don't know for sure, however that's best way and really the only way to potentially find roommates and meet classmates, so it's likely all accepted applicants or all maybe a small few who committed. It's a mystery as to how many seats are left, but I know from the past couple cycles they do admit people off the waitlist in June and July, sometimes even after that. There's also commonly people who commited but then will withdraw if they get accepted at another school, but again, as to how many is a mystery. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the next CTE deadline is maybe in June or July? There will probably be more movement after then. I don't know all the specifics, but either way there will certainly be more applicants accepted off the waitlist.
Congrats!! Did they call or email?
Thank you!! Emailed
Think so ngl
