Did anyone else not get a response after replying to the WL email?
It’s not an answer to your question but I just wanted to thank you lol😅 I glanced at the WL email and didn’t even realize you had to accept it until I just saw your post 😭

I also didn’t get the waitlist email this week. :/ I assume that the R is likely coming soon.

Anyone else studying for their MCAT retake half-assedly and stupidly hoping for that savior A before test day? [emoji14][emoji1432]

how does that work? Was it just typed in the groupme that they committed? Or if you are in the Groupme that means you are committed to that school and withdrew from other acceptances?
There is another chat that is JUST for committed students, and Dr. Loeza sent out a mass email "Onboarding Class of 2028, Cohort 2"

as in CTE? :O
Also, thank you for the updates! It’s greatly appreciated!
Our CTE was on 04/30/24 😵 since we start in July. So there was movement after that but people that were accepted off the waitlist had to either accept/decline VERY quickly
Dont hold your breath waiting on a response about waitlist placement.
As of now, the class is committed and full. There has been a good amount of movement off the waitlist the last two weeks, so I wouldnt really expect much moving forward.
Hope that helps!

Could you elaborate on how much movement there has been?

There’s been like 4/5 new people in the past two weeks if I’m not mistaken. No movement for a week now since the class has been full
About 12 people got added to the accepted students groupme since 04/30. Which doesn’t sound like a lot but 12 out of 60 is about 20% of the class size.

Are people in the accepted/committed students chat seemingly set on attending CDU or are there some that are still waiting to hear back from other schools or get off other waitlists?

To me it seems like everyone in the chat is attending CDU

I think this is normally the case/usual circumstance, but the waitlist movement came earlier because of the AAMC CTE tool. Also the CTE tool automatically removed many of us off some schools waitlist after choosing CDU which we pretty much had to do by like 5/2, otherwise our spot at CDU was highly jeopardized. IF there is any movement moving forward, it would be logistical (i.e. background check incomplete/ immunizations incomplete, etc) and it may be 1-5 students IF that... As of now, everyone in our chat/CDU email thread is committed & doing their best to make sure they're starting at CDU July 8th.
I hope this helps! As a non-trad reapplicant over 3x (in addition to taking the MCAT 4+ times, with an uncompetitive uGPA), I know how frustrating this process can be. Whatever happens in your journey to medical school, dont give up and keep trying until you get that yes! It really is a great feeling on this side of it all knowing I never gave up

Hi! Has anyone experienced and/or heard of any waitlist movement lately? I’m deciding if I should wait it out or lose hope and withdraw.

Class is still full. We had another Q&A today and everyone was present except for a few people who were busy

This might be a dumb question but if I’m reapplying this cycle do I have to withdraw from the waitlist?
personally, I wouldn't remove yourself from the waitlist until the class has officially started. you never know what could happen. From what i've heard, i believe one of the current ms1 was accepted after gateway had already finished/the first week of block 1..
I was too but I just signed my lease for another place yesterday [emoji17]

We had a new person join like 2 weeks ago because someone left. School starts next week so not sure if there’ll be any other movement
