I think in 2021 66 people got off the waitlist. According to the 2023 data 72 got off the waitlist. So movement is going to happen BUT I don't know how many people are on the waitlist right now. if theres around 300 then thats less than a 25% chance of coming off.
I also noticed in years past, they loaded up the waitlist due to concerns of COVID. This cycle should definitely be completely different; I don’t think there’s 300 people on the waitlist but I could be wrong…
yeah I agree. I personally knew like 8 people on the waitlist during COVID and none of them came off of it.
April 30th. Also UNC only initially accepts their class size and then accepts the rest from the waitlist, I got this information with someone who works with admissions. Also, the acceptance data is public so I just subtracted the class size from the accepted and that's how I got the numbers.
I see, so are we thinking there will be more movement than previous years due to class size increase?
65 also seems consistent with the data from 2022 (66) and 2023 (72), conservative even
Not sure if individual school waitlist groups are allowed. Saw an admin shut one down last year
Nope.
It took a week or two for it to get added to mine
Edit: it showed up this morning for me.
It's at 180, but I assume there are lot who were accepted that do not use facebook.
I was thinking that the people who didn't join it might be considering other options and might be waiting until April 30th. Everyone has a facebook. April 30th needs to hurry up lol.
Do you think they might start accepting off the waitlist after April 15? Since that’s the initial narrow down deadline. (I realize post-April 30 will probably lead to the most offers, though.)
Wait what happens on the 15th?
Received a call this morning about receiving a scholarship. I wasnt able to answer, so thats all the info I have right now. Submitted the app maybe a month ago? Accepted in December.
I received a call and was able to answer.
Ik a UNC med student who said she got off the WL on May 2 (of her cycle), so I agree that most movement will prob be around then^
When did they get accepted?
nope not that I know of. anyone else? I think we will see it mid april and end of april.
I think December wave
you were accepted off the waitlist or are you asking if there is a notification we get when we come off the waitlist?
neither. I'm making sure when we accepted our spot ON the waitlist (that needs to be done by 4/8) that they didn't send any kind of confirmation of doing that.
No confirmation
Not really that I can remember. They basically said that with FAFSA being delayed, it could take until the beginning of the semester, but to keep an eye on our emails for any further info.
Was this inclusive of merit or need-based aid? It's hard to imagine that they would delay aid offers when some may be using the price tag as a key deciding factor.
where is the choose your medical school tool?
I think it only pops up if you have an acceptance that's been communicated by a school
last year it was around april 17th, but with the fafsa delay I doubt we'll see much movement until may 1st.
