"They" ? You mean the computer and the third party company that are scoring your interview 'characteristics' in the name of fairness.
I don't think that 3rd party companies determine the acceptance, from what I understand they only gauge your interview responses and give the university a composite score of how well you did. The admissions committee has the final say on who to accept:)

I’m lowkey worried because on the written portion I accidentally wrote over the word limit and didn’t realize until I had 2 minutes left. It’s their fault though because in the prompt they only state there’s a word minimum… so how was I supposed to know? Are they going to dock me points because of that lol

I mean the waitlist was created on March 15 and was changed to acceptance that same day.

No idea on this one, I’m sorry! Maybe reaching out to the Kira assessment company to see their grading criteria?

How long did it take for those of you who were waitlisted to receive a VIP email?
 
How long did it take for those of you who were waitlisted to receive a VIP email
I received one when they first sent it out, it seems like they mass sent it the same Day to everyone... and I was waitlisted but now that I am accepted and have attended, I just got another invite yesterday

Congrats! Could you share what day you interviewed and when you got the VIP email? I’m still waiting on mine.
(Hope I’m not making you repeat info it’s a long thread…😅)
 
Does anyone know if waitlist movement means they’re done sending out acceptances? Or is there no correlation between the two?

I got mine ~3 weeks after I interviewed! it seems like they do big waves in batches, so if you just interviewed then you might get one soon?

I don't think there is any correlation. I reached out a few weeks ago regarding my app and they said they haven't even reviewed all of the applications yet (post interview).

Same haha I only got the engagement day invite but no VIP day
I think a lot of the December people are in the same boat. I also only received information about the engagement day. Hoping to hear something this week. It’s been 14 weeks for me since my interview.

Any December people receive a decision yet? I thought they’ve been sending them out around this time

Today was the virtual engagment day, so maybe they'll release decisions later in the day rather than early on like in previous weeks

Anyone who else was waitlisted a few weeks ago but hasn't received a VIP email yet?
 
Does anyone know about how many people they waitlist? And about how many get off?

Unless someone else knows more, they haven’t published number or percentage estimates unfortunately. I did hear they do have a lot more WL movement than the average MD program
