The wait is crazy... 1 II>WL

 

[Muq]

[Semsemrocks]

Update: 3 WL now.. waiting on 1

 

[JupiterFrog]

Praying to the Medical school gods for all of us. 5 II...4 WL...0 A...I'm losing hair people.

 

[nitess]

7 ii -> 3 WL, 2 R, 2 pending. I am trying to keep myself together but some days are just much worse than others . I wish everyone the best

 

[yourgfgf]

6 II —> 1R 2WL 3 pending
I hope to the premed gods something works out because the wait is beyond unbearable :/

 

[druidcookie]

Hello friends! Sitting on 5 II, 1 WL, 4 pending and am trying to stay sane with all the uncertainty. We got this!

 

[reptilian]

[Semsemrocks]

Guys I’m so sad. It’s great seeing other people killing it on sdn and I love cheering them on but it also makes me upset that I’m not succeeding as well. I’m kind of losing hope

Don't worry dude you go on here and see all these gods but I promise you if you get off this website and ask other premeds in real life how their cycle is going 99% are in the same boat as us - 1 or no As with several WL or 1 or 2 interviews and thinking about reapplying.

That’s makes me feel a bit better. Although 2 of my 3 friends that are applying this cycle are doing just as good as the sdn gods haha

[anAvacado....thanks]

Cheers to another week on waitlists 🥂🍻

 

[ScienzRules]

Waitlisted at 4/5 the schools I interviewed at. Anyone know what my chances are?

I would hedge a bet that one of those WL will convert to an A… at least that’s what I keep telling myself! Wishing you luck!!

 

[Bishop1x]

So far I have 4 II ->2 WL and 2 pending. The schools I am WL at supposedly have big waitlist movement so praying for the best

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

1 II --> 1 WL. Hopeful that I'll get off at Belmont though.

Rooting for you king

 

[cozu]

7 II --> 3 WL, 1 R, 3 pending. I have developed a severe addiction to my email from this process 🤣

 

[greymolerat]

Guys, I’m invested in all of our WLs. Please update if any convert to As so we can all cheer each other on!! It’s not over yet

 

[myaccount123]

10 IIs --> 6 WL, 2 post-II Rs, 1 pending, 1A (!) I'm so grateful for my 1 A but also really really am hoping to end up at one of my schools closer to my family and my partner 😢

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

Rooting for you king

I visited AZ this weekend. I was on the look out for a guy with a shirt saying "king of medical school applications" but never found you!

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

Guys we gon get the heck out of here and get some A's!

 

[AA99]

1 II —> 1 WL; I’m hoping for a miracle

 

[goge69]

3 II -> 3 WL, also hoping for a miracle

 

[UtahNative123]

9 II, 1 post II rejection, 4 WL, 4 pending. The wait is a killer

 

[sciencerules135]

1 II —> 1 WL; I’m hoping for a miracle

1 II wait is brutal

 

[TheGrindIsAlwaysReal]

5 II -> 4 WL and no information on the last 1 school

Trying to prepare for the next cycle but the hope of the WLs is ruining any motivation I have...

 

[FutureDoc!!]

3 II -> 2 WL & 1 pending. It’s hard to stay positive while being on these waitlists

 

[shrimptempura]

Coming from the world’s worst interviewer:
4 II -> 2 WL, 2 R
Appreciate this thread, this process is excruciating.

 

[Bishop1x]

[Semsemrocks]

YOOOO MY 1 PENDING TURNED INTO AN ACCEPTANCE. 4 II -> 3 WL + 1 A

YAY!! Congrats that’s amazing!!

 

[nitess]

7 ii -> 4 WL, 1 pending, 2 rejections. When does hope become delusion . Praying everything works out.

Anyone know if you can send a letter stating a school is your top choice if you’re on the waitlist even if you haven’t been accepted anywhere? Do schools care about seeing that? Would it hold any weight?

I would argue that would be when it most matters. Unfortunately, I've seen that LOIs usually aren't taken too seriously unless it's a school like Mayo

This is 100% where I am at. Having an extremely hard time focusing on a re-application with 4 WL pending. Just trying to trust the process and not lose my mind completely

 

[xanadu1]

I have WLs at Touro and Western (DO), as well as UCSD (MD), but no A's
1. Am I cooked?
2. I know I probably won't hear back from these schools until May at the earliest, but the idea of reapplying is dreadful. Anyone have any words of wisdom about preparing for a reapp while still waiting for waitlists?

 

[cozu]

 

[vivisector7]

WL at Touro CA, PNWU, and NEOMED. I don't think I have it in me to reapply since I'm nontrad and would have to retake the MCAT. All of these schools have high waitlist movement, but the possibility that I put in all the work and may end up with nothing anyway is killing my morale.

Definitely send a letter of intent I know for sure Pitt really like them!!
