I feel like everyone who interviewed in January has been waitlisted
Does anyone know anyone who interviewed in Jan and wasn't waitlisted? I'm pretty heartbroken but also frustrated that if I'd known no one interviewing in Jan would get the A I would have sent a letter of intent to Mayo and maybe I'd have gotten in there. Ugh, I'm just sadI feel like everyone who interviewed in January has been waitlisted
WL. Interviewed January.
Do they reject anyone post-interview? Haven’t seen any on here….. certainly seems that January ppl were meant to fill the waitlist
Have you not heard back yet?Any calls supposed to be coming out today?
Not yet, interviewed early FebHave you not heard back yet?
interview date?
Februaryinterview date?
Same but I didn’t hear anything so I’m so confused, is that a WL?February
No, I got an email with an invitation to request being added to the alternate list on the application portal.Same but I didn’t hear anything so I’m so confused, is that a WL?
I heard through the grapevine that Keck is WL almost everyone who interviewed on the later side. Apparently the class size is shrinking a bit but according to my mentor at USC there should be a fair amount of WL movement.
Yeah obviously there’s more to the story I’m sure but it seems to track with what was reported here. I’ll keep everyone updated if I hear more!Interesting, thanks for letting us know! Seems like pretty much all the As came from September, October, and November interviews. At least based on what was posted on sdn
Yes, I believe soDo we think WL movement starts May 1?
I think they are looking for people 100% willing to commit to reach out sometime in may and then WL movesDo we think WL movement starts May 1?
Have you heard anything else through the grapevine? 😅 Very anxious for any info on how likely this WL movement is for me.Yeah obviously there’s more to the story I’m sure but it seems to track with what was reported here. I’ll keep everyone updated if I hear more!
I haven't heard anything else... I'm thinking that we are just in limbo until may unfortunatelyHave you heard anything else through the grapevine? 😅 Very anxious for any info on how likely this WL movement is for me.
Nopehas anyone heard anything about scholarships from keck yet?
They told us recently that the class has been downsized from 180 to 120 students. Our Facebook has approximately 145 accepted students, so I think at this point it depends on the retention rate around May 1st.Is anyone still waiting on a decision post-interview? Or is it just down to the WL now?
Did they say the reason for the downsize?They told us recently that the class has been downsized from 180 to 120 students. Our Facebook has approximately 145 accepted students, so I think at this point it depends on the retention rate around May 1st.
Current M1 here at Keck. The reason for the downsize according to the Dean's is to increase spending per student in research opportunities and to similar to other higher ranked institutions and their methods.Did they say the reason for the downsize?
Ouch this is sad news for us hopefully waiting on the wait list as I'd assume movement will be lower. This whole process has felt like a punch in the gut.They told us recently that the class has been downsized from 180 to 120 students.

Feel the same way. However, maybe they interviewed fewer people and the waitlist is smaller than previous years? Hoping for the bestsOuch this is sad news for us hopefully waiting on the wait list as I'd assume movement will be lower. This whole process has felt like a punch in the gut.
OOF. Well, it is what it isThey told us recently that the class has been downsized from 180 to 120 students. Our Facebook has approximately 145 accepted students, so I think at this point it depends on the retention rate around May 1st.
They've given some merit/recruitment scholarships directly from the admissions office. As confirmed by the Scholarship Committee rep during the financial literacy segment of accepted students dayAny word on Financial aid?
You should make your PTE selection as soon as you can. For Keck, the PTE deadline is April 30, so it's probably best to select it before then. If you are still waiting for fin aid packages and can't quite make a selection by then, Dean Arias said to email the admissions office and suggested to keep an open line of communication with themStupid question, do we have to wait until April 30th to for PTE? or can we do it now? does it even make a difference?
nopeDid accepted students receive financial aid info already?
I mean, I’m gonna send it. At this point there’s no telling though. Either it works out or it doesn’t, it’s in the hands of the adcoms lol. Manifesting we all get in thoughWhat's everyone feeling on LOIs? Do we think there will be movement?
Last year they sent an email before the LOI basically saying how much to write and how to address it… all that info.. I think it’s really good chance if you’re truly considering dropping your current schools and going…I mean, I’m gonna send it. At this point there’s no telling though. Either it works out or it doesn’t, it’s in the hands of the adcoms lol. Manifesting we all get in though
NopeHas anyone gotten LOI emails?
probably just gonna send around 9am PST since it says “on or after April 30th”Are y'all waiting for an email soliciting LOIs or just sending?
