Longtime lurker here 👀
I called today to ask about the waitlist and was also told that if you haven’t heard anything that you are on the waitlist. I asked if decisions were still only going to be sent out on Fridays, and she said no, so I think we could hear back any day.
Honestly, I think that anyone who interviewed and hasn’t been accepted yet is on the waitlist (this is my own assumption, NOT what she told me). I don’t think anyone who has interviewed has been rejected yet but correct me if I’m wrong. I interviewed in November, so it’s been a long wait, but I can’t imagine how frustrating this must be for you guys that interviewed in August and September lol.
Anyway, good luck y’all.

I just can't comprehend why they wouldn’t take five minutes to send out an official waitlist email if those decisions have already been made. It feels disrespectful to applicants who invested so much time, money, and energy into this process just to be completely ghosted.

According to last year’s thread, they did send out rejection emails at the end of April. I also saw one person say they did receive a waitlist email last year.

Also does anyone know if they are increasing their class size from 120 to 160 this year? I saw it mentioned in last year’s thread but it wasn’t clear if that was going to start this year.

Yeah, I agree. They should have notified those who scored low after their interview, and who they know won’t make it off the waitlist, that they are rejected. I don’t want to be rejected, but if it’s inevitable I’d rather know sooner rather than later.
I saw last year’s thread too, and the mass rejections that went out at the end of April. The person I talked to on the phone emphasized that they wanted to be sure they could fill their class, so I think once people trim down their options to three by tomorrow and to one by the end of this month, admissions will have a better idea of how full their class is. Then they’re more ‘comfortable’ rejecting people. Idk.
She also mentioned the class size is 120.

I agree with this. I find it a bit disconcerting that applicants who went through their interview process haven't had any follow-up communication for MONTHS. This seemingly copy-pasted response from the admissions office to an email I sent the other day did not even answer my questions. I understand that schools might not feel like they "owe" us anything, but after investing in the application, going through the interview day, and hearing nothing is really disappointing. I would so much rather know where I stand, whether that's a waitlist or rejection, than be floundering in this state of uncertainty lol

Totally feel you. It's dishartening esp when other schools are offering us their faculty's rental properties in town, but I can't even get a text back from deeznuts.

I totally feel you. I interviewed over 7 months ago and haven't heard a single thing. Just frustrating because it was my only interview so I would rather they tell me where I stand so I can know if I going to have to reapply.

IS A for MD/PhD! Got the call at nine am this morning, I interviewed back in October. Obviously can’t speak to MD only but I did have radio silence until now. It’s not over until it’s over. Wishing everyone the absolute best of luck, I hope everyone here gets more answers soon 🙂

According to last year's thread they sent out post interview rejections April 26, which was a Friday, so if they were following last year's trend they should've sent out rejections yesterday.... What's the hold up?

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe people are taking longer to decide which one acceptance they want to hold, so most of the class isn’t confirmed yet and admissions isn’t ready to send out rejections. Honestly who knows at this point. Every prediction I’ve had about when I’ll hear back has been proven wrong lol.
All I know is I’m going to be stressed all of next week.

Hella. My attending told me his scribe never heard back after being WL post-II, so they called the 1st day of school to ask and the office told them that they actually had an open seat for them. The scribe quit on the spot and moved to Tucson that week. So uh yea... not even a residency director I know could get ahold of admissions on my behalf. It's wild out here.

NOT AN ACCEPTANCE POST.
Alright got that out of the way. Just wanna say thank you to everyone who contributed to this forum because I felt like I was going insane after not having heard anything post interview, especially post May 1st. I interviewed in late Jan, called in early April and was told it was most likely WL, then she looked into it and I was still under committee review. I’ve been freaking out waiting for a decision, even followed up via email in late April asking if they needed anything from me to complete their review and was given the same rolling admission template email that I’ve seen on here. Long story short I made my SDN account today and found this forum, and I felt a lot better after reading it. I know it’s not a guarantee WL at this point but I’m gonna go ahead and assume in my delusions that it’s still a WL. And that is gonna help me sleep tonight.

I can’t believe that it is now the MIDDLE OF MAY and we still haven’t heard anything.

I ended up calling them, they basically said what someone else posted a week or two ago. If we haven’t heard anything by now, it means we’re on the waitlist. Apparently someone got pulled off the waitlist yesterday so they said to just keep waiting and that they will hopefully have their class finalized by early June.

Do we know if they rejected people post interview or is there like 200 of us on the waitlist still?
Whiterun_Gaurd

The person on the phone said that they sent out rejections for those on the lowest tier of the waitlist. I’m not sure how true that is, but they didn’t give me an idea to how many people are on the waitlist and how many people will get off.

They should be pressing the people with As to hurry up. Some of us have families to move with us.

I'm surprised we didn't see anyone on here say they got rejected post interview, why do I not believe them lol... This admissions committee has lost all of my trust
