When I was waitlisted in a previous cycle they sent out a follow-up email near the end of April asking WL candidates to "accept/decline" a position on the waitlist- in that same email they mentioned they were now open to accepting updates. So be on the look out for a communication soon, otherwise it can't hurt to ask them directly!
Just withdrew, gl everyone!!

I am waitlisted with this school and if given an offer, I’ll go 100%. I’m accepted to another medical school and will select “plan to enroll” for this med school on amcas for April 30th (bc I still don’t want to lose the spot if I don’t get into ucsd). This won’t remove me from ucsd’s waitlist right? Will they still consider me if I selected plan to enroll to another school?

Correct. PTE does not remove you from any WL. Once you “commit to enroll” (deadline varies by school, usually June-ish) you are removed/have to remove yourself from WL’s. Starting April 30, schools can see if you PTE somewhere else but this shouldn’t impact your WL chances.

for other WL ppl: i dont necessarily have anything new to say in the update email i'm going to send once thats available to do. is that okay? i'm thinking of making it more like a LOI and talk about how i'm still working my research job?
does anyone have any input on this or thoughts on what they are going to say?

is it an email we send? or can we send it through the ucsdsom portal itself
Based on previous years' threads I think we just upload the update letter using their portal, but I'd obviously hold off until we get the email from Brian with specific instructions in late April/early May.

is it an update letter? or a letter of intent?

Sorry but who is Brian? Someone associated with UCSD?
Mr. Brian Zeglen (Director of Admissions); him and his office are our point of contact. I believe he sent the interview info, post interview timeline, and waitlist emails
I think that’s up to us to decide? Not sure honestly, we’ll see what the instruction email says

Zilch
Historically I think they usually send it the Monday before the PTE deadline (based on the last couple cycles’ threads). Admissions must be running behind, maybe due to FAFSA delays?

anyone else withdrew their A's? it's music to our ears as waitlisted applicants (but also like congrats besties on finding a better fit for you and your career aspirations)
There were a few people who left the groupme in the past week! Don't lose hope!

I'm not losing hope! my professor said to let it go and to "temper my expectations" since i'm an out of state student, but that just fuels me even more. I want to go here so bad its my DREAM

soooo are people doing letters of intent? I honestly don't want to because all I have to write is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE hahaha. Do they have to be long or specific? I doubt it has much sway?

Does anyone know the timeline for hearing back from them? Will we only get acceptance calls/emails, or will there also be rejection emails and such? Or is it radio silence? Just wondering, because the other school I got accepted to requires that I commit to enroll by July 1.
They don't reject people off of the WL, unless they're changing their protocols

Does anybody have the COA for the 24-25 year? They only have the 23-24 year on the website
I don't think they published it yet because even in the finaid presentation during Second Look, they had 23-24 numbers. It increased <$2k from 22-23 to 23-24 ($71,630), so we can probably expect a similar increase this year.

Did you check your portal? The WL section should be in there. If not it’s probably just a clerical error, they haven’t rejected anyone from WL yet

From your lips to God's ear.
Nothing in portal BTW.
You don’t have a Waitlist section on the left asking you to accept or decline your spot on the waitlist?

I still have to write and send my update, there’s no deadline right? It’s just ASAP?

The email doesn't mention any deadlines so I assume that it's just ASAP
