I haven't seen anything about people being pulled off the WL at NM, has anyone seen anything about that??

Haven’t seen anything on SDN yet. Maybe since the APS people are being taken off we will be next.
 
Congratulations 53Chieftain and Medislife0513. Hope, I will hear soon. Are you all IS? Did you send any Letter of Interest or or Letter of Intent?
 
So, how did the meeting go? Anything insightful?
They said people withdraw daily and sometimes hourly during this period and that waitlist movement is all student driven.

Be ready to deposit because they may force you to pay right on the phone perhaps because of timing much closer to the orientation date.

Said they couldnt give specifics on how they rank.

Gave the implication there will be lots of movement from here on out.

I also got another email from a different school that I am waitlisted at to BE READY if you’re accepted.

So i guess that’s a good sign that waitlist movement isnt over? idk..

I wasn't joking when I said ill pay double the seat deposit if they take me off the WL immediately 😆 so im definitely ready. I wish they could give us the number of ppl on the list at the very least. I could be ranked last but knowing the # of ppl would make me feel better in a weird way lol.

Thank you for giving this summary, I also was unable to make it so I really appreciate it. Do you mind me asking which school emailed you to "be ready" if accepted?
 
Speaking of being ready, anyone else not tell their employer about their WL status and possibly having to quit in less than a weeks notice? Lol.

Yes to all of this^^ also of the students that spoke, 2 of them were accepted off the waitlist the week before orientation so it really does appear that WL movement will still be happening in the coming weeks.
 
Mines been oddly supportive.
How long have you worked there? I had to revert back to my previous career field recently so I could make actual money and save. So my employer definitely doesn't know lol.

5 years at the clinic. Started during college and stuck around while I prepped for the mcat.

Then that definitely explains why they are supportive. 5 years is a long time and they obviously like you enough to want to see you succeed and move forward.
 
so I guess I have officially given up on this school lol

not a single update?
I wouldnt give up quite yet. They said all WL movement is student driven at this point so if other schools start to have more movement, we could still have a shot. Their school starts July 21st so I guess we wont have to be in pain for that much longer.
 
My understanding was school starts the 14th and that's the last possible day they would send out an offer if a seat was available.
 
Is sending an LOI (intent) even worth it at this point? Idk how much it helps with WL chances.

I sent one at the end of April and I'm in the same boat as you so I'm not sure how much they take it into consideration. It couldn't hurt though
 
Yeah, I sent one too. Can't hurt to try!
Also I know admissions can't tell us how much the WL is moving but it would be nice to know if there is any movement at all
 
Hello all,
I hope the best for you! I sent in two LOI, one highlighting how much I desire to be in FL and to go to their school, and the other highlighting how much I still wanted to go to their school and how I would be a good fit based on what I knew about it. I also called a couple of times... so I sort of hounded them in a respectful way... Orientation is the 14th, and the week before that is the last time they send out As.

Did you send two Letter of Interest or Letter of Intent? I was hoping I could send two Letter of Intents too but I was not sure.
 
Went to Ikea today and I was giving my partner some ideas for our house and she said "I don't want to make big changes since we don't know if we have to move yet." Bless her heart y'all she still has hope I'll get in. I guess that makes one of us. 2 more weeks to go.

Just curious- when you called them was it just general admissions questions or were you asking for updates on the status of your app?
 
A friend called earlier this week and they said WL movement is slowing down at this point but some movement is expected until orientation :/
Wow... I'm really freaking out. I don't know what to do at this point. Is that actually WL movement or are they still pulling from APS?
 
Same I’m super sad 🙁 if I had to guess, I’d say most movement is prob gonna be APS and possibly some WL. What’s so frustrating is that there are still people who haven’t withdrawn acceptances for schools they’re not attending, so I think that’s also holding up the WL movement
