^^ agreed SD was way more affordable than other schools

 

[greymolerat]

I sent an email to admissions asking about WL movement. Will keep everyone updated 🙂

 

[Espresso123]

Anyone else in the endless cycle of alternating checking between their email and SDN? 😅

Yup!! Right there with you haha

 

[medamind92]

me but I got a steady rotation going between SDN, email, and the fb group and x2 for both my waitlists. this is excruciating 😭

 

[Espresso123]

Welp working day basically over … see y’all tomorrow

 

[cantwaittodeletethis]

I sent an email to admissions asking about WL movement. Will keep everyone updated 🙂

any response? 😅

 

[greymolerat]

any response?

Negative I’m sad

 

[huas1234]

ahh man the wait is too long :|

 

[Espresso123]

Negative I’m sad

It’s ok maybe they are too busy getting ready to call us !!!! 😅🥲

 

[premedgirlie12]

Do we think they'll keep notifying people on Fridays as they were doing for regular decisions? Or do we think it's gonna be randomly whenever they make their decisions lol, i'm slowly going crazy

Personally I think any day or time is fair game but maybe they will be stick with the Fridays but whose to know for sure 🤷‍♀️ ( also don’t worry I’m going crazy too)

 

[greymolerat]

I’m keeping an eye out around noon/early afternoon since it seems most past reported As were around that time. I’m slowly descending into madness too !!

 

[llk20]

do we think movement has happened based on facebook numbers?

 

[vicdeangelisfanpage]

Should I call them?

 

[warmLaundryNap]

Should I call them?

Yes, please! That would be so sweet.

 

[vicdeangelisfanpage]

Yes, please! That would be so sweet.

“We are currently working remotely and not answering telephone calls. Email us if you have any questions” 🙁 I guess I’ll email them? I just don’t want to annoy them so I’m not sure if I should

 

[warmLaundryNap]

Somebody else in the thread also sent an email earlier today, so maybe we can just hold off for a couple days to see if the earlier person gets a response?

 

[Espresso123]

do we think movement has happened based on facebook numbers?

Looked at other schools Facebook pages and here are some of their numbers

UCLA: class size ~175 with 257 members in the page with 8 new people joining this week and confirmed WL movement on SDN

UCI: class size ~114 with 200 in Facebook with 23 joining this week . Also with confirmed WL movement on SDN

So basically this is just my way of making myself feel better ( and hopefully someone else too) and trying to not stress anymore than already am lol


UCSD 140 class size and 190 members rn ( so not scary that more than class size imo )
But with UCSD having only one new member this week just gonna assume it’s some MS4 trying to sell their stuff 😅

 

[med4540]

Just wanted to let everyone know that UCSD sent accepted students an email letting us know that they are extending the CYMS commit to enroll until June 24! Just wanted to let you guys know because that will probably affect the rate of WL movement!

so we are waiting for 50 people to drop out before WL movement can happen?

[bluejay09]

Not exactly, there are a few current medical students in the fb group! There are 107 in the GroupMe.

 

[vicdeangelisfanpage]

So 107 accepted? And the rest are older med students?

 

[faze_contusion]

based on what people said in the group chat! I know personally for me that was the deciding factor to go to SD over other programs

By group chat, do you mean the GroupMe? I was just curious because I got nothing from UCSD RIP. But its still the most affordable so I guess its not all that bad!

 

[bluejay09]

So 107 accepted? And the rest are older med students?

There are 107 of us in the group me but it’s possible that not everyone has had the chance to join/ is aware of it existing. There’s about 10 current med students in the FB group from what I can tell (not all are listed as admin/group experts). At second look one of the deans mentioned that they accepted 267 students this year

 

[llk20]

ah okay. about how much WL movement do we think there will be, then?

 

[vicdeangelisfanpage]

Do we think tmr is the day ladies and gents?

 

[Espresso123]

Do we think tmr is the day ladies and gents?

I sure hope so !! 🤞🏻🤠

 

[greymolerat]

Update: still no response… I wouldn’t get your hopes up that they’ll respond to my email aha

 

[huas1234]

I sure hope so !! 🤞🏻🤠

me too im getting tired of constantly refreshing sdn

 

[premedgirlie12]

Any news?

 

[Espresso123]

TTYL… see y’all next week 🥲

 

[warmLaundryNap]

I really can’t make heads or tails of that waitlist update email.

 

[llk20]

if the class is full, how is it possible for WL movement to ever happen?

 

[warmLaundryNap]

That’s exactly my worry. But if the CTE deadline hasn’t passed, there may be some people who would leave for a different school if they get off their waitlist.

 

[dermdog]

What does the last paragraph mean I'm so confused

 

[Patient Ackerman]

How does this email compare with previous years? Did they make any waitlist offers this year? The FB group and GroupMe member numbers have only gone down since May 1 😟

 

[llk20]

so the only chance of any WL movement is if someone on another WL and is enrolled at UCSD commits to the other school? That doesn’t seem in like with the >30 people getting off

 

[katmatcha]

It seems like there is going to be very little, if any, waitlist movement this year. I would imagine it is because of the great financial aid that was offered this year as other posters have mentioned. UCSD (and every medical school) will accept more than their class, but if there is a great financial incentive, more accepted students may be committing or holding onto their acceptance than we have seen in previous years. So in effect, UCSD may not need to pull from their waitlist for another 30 students.

For those accepted that have not committed just yet, they also have until 6/24 to decide, so I think the earliest we could maybe see movement is June when other CTE dates typically are as well.

 

[greymolerat]

The FB group went down 9 members in the last few weeks. But even with the decrease, I’m assuming they probably over-admitted and won’t use the WL much this year. Pretty bummed :/

 

[Espresso123]

This is so frustrating… especially in the news of the CTE deadline extension. Like why did this year have to be different for WL movement:/

 

[katmatcha]

Yeah it really sucks, I imagine other school also extended their CTE deadlines, so I am sure that also does not help for all us WL people :/

 

[llk20]

i wish they said when we could even expect to hear back? or about how much movement we can expect now

 

[LancesDragonite]

Didn't the email say exactly this (assuming its the same one they sent in years past, which it sounds like it is)? That movement is pretty unlikely at the moment and that they will reach out to someone same day if someone ends up withdrawing from the class or is granted a deferral? They can't predict when someone is going to withdraw.

so is this email standard, then? do they always say that the class is full (or at least did last year)?

I just saw the email that got sent out this year from someone on the WL currently, looks like its similar to the one I got last year, except missing a few paragraphs, since last year the email was sent out after the CTE.

If you can, just wait it out and see what happens
