The AMCAS website says it is 40 spots long.

I’ve heard anywhere between 8 to somewhere in the 20s

 

[privatesugar]

Anyone gotten any waitlist updates over the past couple weeks?

I was 5th and I got accepted 4/15. You can email admissions and they will tell you.

[tired pre med student]

#14 is the new #1 as of 5/13

Just to double check is that 5/13 or 5/23?

As of 5/13. I've been #1 since then

 

[tired pre med student]

As of 5/13. I've been #1 since then

I see, thank you!

 

[tired pre med student]

Does anyone know if this is normal for USD waitlist movement to move at this rate compare to previous years? I understand that FAFSA migh've affected the waitlist (I don't really know to what extent). Will there be another wave coming in June? I appreciate the input!

 

[privatesugar]

The commit to enroll deadline is June 10, so you might see some movement in the few days up to then, but probably none after.

 

[BallPointPen]

I emailed early in the waitlist days and I was told they have seen between 8 and 32 seats move per year in recent years. So this sounds pretty typical overall

 

[privatesugar]

Withdrew today. Good luck to everyone on the waitlist!

 

[RedPandaBear]

Got the A call late this afternoon. I wish all of you on the alternate list nothing but good things. Your time will come!
