Do you guys think it’s better to be waitlisted or remain deferred to next committee meeting?
Apparently deferred is better. I thought I was waitlisted the whole time I was deferred, so this change puts me where I thought I was all along 🤷
 
does anyone know how long it will take for the acceptance to show up in the choose your medical school tool?
 
does anyone know what the WL movement looks like here? online it seems to be pretty vague/mixed opinions
 
anyone that interviewed, got deferred, but no news at all? haven’t gotten a waitlist or anything yet :/ interviewed in november, deferred in january
 
I'm a little concerned that they may have lost track of some applications when generating their waitlist since evm1717's update indicates that today's waitlist notifications might have been triggered by that email. I'm hoping that there was just an issue with the notification but I'm worried we've just been thrown onto the bottom of the list as an afterthought. I guess nothing to be done about that now but it is disappointing.

Yeah, I emailed too and then got the waitlist email. Not sure if that's true for others who were waitlisted today. I am wondering if we are ranked where we are "supposed to" be on the waitlist based on whatever criteria they use to make the list or if we were just stuck onto the bottom. Were our files actually reviewed by the adcom?

We'll probably never know given that they don't disclose rankings but it definitely feels sus and reflects poorly on the school.

yeah, out of all the schools i’ve interviewed at this season, i felt like geisinger had the most non-transparent screening process (keeping applicants waiting for months and months with literally no updates or timeline at all) & i thought their interviews sessions were organized a bit poorer than others i attended. but oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️. i wish everyone on the wl luck!
