I am OOS and was offered a scholarship during my A call.

 

[thestokez]

Does anyone know if they have sent out all the interviews?

 

[elzo0108]

Just got the call- IS A off the WL!!!!!

 

[mylittlerowboat]

just got the A call (IS) about 20 min ago!!! yayyyyy, interviewed 2/14--they said they'd update portal and send official acceptance letter by tmrw

 

[NutriBullet]

IS A Just now!!!!!!!

Congrats! I thought there would be no WL movement until April so thats quite the surprise. Fingers crossed for the rest of us

 

[McApple]

So if we interviewed 2/14 and didn’t get an A today, is that a waitlist or rejection?

Pretty much, that's what happened with my cohort. The people that got in, got in on a single day, the waitlisters got the email a week or two later.

 

[mcsteamy273]

I interviewed 2/2 - no call or email. Anyone else from the 2/2 get the A call? I am preparing for waitlist or worse

Sounds like they are making calls w/ the 2/14 cohort and maybe working backwards (at least that's what my brain wishes to believe )

Congrats! That would put their final app review process turn around time for the later interview cohorts at about 22 days, or generally 3 weeks. Super insightful.

This would mean that the final interview cohort from this week should hear back around March 28 if accepted. Leaving one entire week for people to make arrangments in time for admitted students day. Very considerate of them!

I know it's all speculation, but what else is there to do while we wait? lol

 

[Q2TheMD]

Just got the A a few hours ago …. Still speechless 🥹😭

I interview 1/4 …

 

[rdlau]

So does anyone recommend doing anything while on the waitlist? Sending a letter of continued interest?

They explicitly stated they do not take anything. Sit and pray I guess

 

[mcsteamy273]

^^ start praying if you haven’t already is what I’d say too. No LOI or updates are taken except during the actual interview.

 

[rdlau]

Just got the call- IS A off the WL!!!!!

Congrats! When did you get placed on the WL?

 

[elzo0108]

Congrats! When did you get placed on the WL?

Thank you!! I interviewed 12/8 and was placed on the WL 1/22…I really wasn’t expecting to hear anything until April so this was quite a shock!

 

[Zjnorae]

Got the call yesterday! OOS A off the WL, interviewed 12/6 WL 1/22. For my OOS peeps on WL, don't lose hope!

 

[mcsteamy273]

Just got the waitlist email as I expected - now we wait ⏳

IS - Interviewed 2/2, was my top choice, have an A somewhere so I am grateful but would MUCH MUCH prefer to go here

 

[YellowLemonTract]

Interviewed on 2/14. Just got the email that I was placed on the alternate/wait list.

 

[ChiefKief19]

IS WL interviewed 2/16. Could be better could be worse I guess. Going to be praying hard

 

[mylittlerowboat]

just got the A call (IS) about 20 min ago!!! yayyyyy, interviewed 2/14--they said they'd update portal and send official acceptance letter by tmrw

just a follow up--got the official A email today, around 24 hours after the call

question about scholarships--the website says that scholarships are automatically considered without application, and you'll be notified if you're awarded one. is that supposed to come with your admissions decision or after?

 

[Halamadridismo]

Does anyone know if Uwsmph allow you to switch residency after the first year?

 

[deleted1124957]

Does anyone know if Uwsmph allow you to switch residency after the first year?

I don't believe so, I asked during interview day. Either way it's pretty cheap OOS tuition compared to privates.

 

[YellowLemonTract]

No they don't. It's on their website that they don't allow it for tuition purposes

 

[Halamadridismo]

Thank you guys for sharing, my bad I wasn’t able to join the other session of my interview. But do you guys also know how interviews are weighted and what happens post interview with adcom?

 

[YellowLemonTract]

Essentially your application is sent to a smaller committee who grades your application and whoever graded your application the best is the one who presents you to the overall committee. They look at every aspect of your application then based on what grade your application is given is technically what will determine if you are rejected, waitlisted or accepted.

They look at every aspect of your application then based on what grade your application is given is technically what will determine if you are rejected, waitlisted or accepted.

In addition to the final app review process, there are four distinct pathways for admission that play into their decision. They are: MD resident, MD non-resident, MD WARM program, MD-PHD program.

It seemed that your application score after the final app review relative to others in your pathway is what determines whether you are accepted, rejected or added to the alternate list. If you are on the alternate list, you move up as spots in your pathway become available.

They made it clear that your individual probability of wait list movement is entirely unknown because of the way their alternate system works.

I'm willing to bet my ... that there are additional sub-pipelines within the broader pathways which may add to the unpredictable movement of their waitlist.

 

[Halamadridismo]

Thank you guys for sharing, I appreciate that.

 

[harry_potter138]

For those who got off the WL, did you guys send any letters post-II decision?

We are not able to accept any updates to your application during this time.

 

[mcsteamy273]

Bruh

lol I’m convinced people don’t read the threads/whatever the committee sends them. It’s written right there in the fine print.

 

[YellowLemonTract]

At this point you guys are just being rude. I think we all know when you get an email from a school that emotions can be high and someone can read over a sentence. There is no need to be disrespectful to someone.

 

[harry_potter138]

My bad everyone, did not expect this to trigger that many responses. I have had about 13 interview invites and about 4 WL emails and I know schools do things differently. Yes, I should have read over the email again but I was just asking a quick question, my bad. Will make sure to double check since I guess not doing so will cause questions on my mental capability.

Exactly, and it’s not necessarily clear. When I think of “updates” I don’t necessarily think of a LOI, mostly transcripts or job updates, things like that…

[harry_potter138]

It’s absurd, like how did you make it this far. The waitlist email literally spaces out paragraphs and underlines:

We are not able to accept any updates to your application during this time.

Thanks! Not sure how I got this far either buddy. This is not a school high on my list since I'm OOS and have received multiple A's and I interviewed ages ago so I was asking a quick question. Next time I will find the email and read it. Good luck!

I remember they said that scholarships can be notified as late as June

 

[GreekFreek]

Any movement this week?

 

[BeefyStack]

Any movement this week?

There was a huge group of people added to the FB by admissions on Monday (30+). Those were probably accepted last Friday though. Nothing since then.

 

[McApple]

Is there really any movement for the in state waitlist in previous years?

 

[NutriBullet]

Is there really any movement for the in state waitlist in previous years?

during my interview day, we were told that they will definitely be utilizing the waitlist because they cannot over-enroll like that one year. However, it won’t be a lot of movement as a vast majority of IS applicants who are offered admission will choose UW

Agreed. If you look at last year’s thread you see a ton of movement for OOS WL at lower ranks but not as much for IS. Could be some selection bias though.

 

[SnakeDiscovery]

Anyone else braving the nail biting wait until decisions? Interviewed 2/28, OOS so I know it’s one more week until I know my fate.
