Hey all, another accepted student here. Just made an account to ask, does anyone know if there’s a discord or group chat for always accepted students? Just wanna make connections w people and make friends before we all eat, live, breathe books 😛

Edit: I’ve seen the previous WhatsApp post, link seems to be broken 🙁

+1 I called admissions and by the grace of God they said they are still interviewing until July…it ain’t over till it’s over 😭

Ain’t no way. So why have people on the waitlist if you’re still looking to interview?

No clue bro, if anything logically they should clean the waitlist before continuing to interview. Then again idt anyone really knows what goes on behind closed doors 😕

Yeah, how can you look for new people when you have a list of people on the side, literally to fill gaps in the upcoming class? I think ADCOMs have lost sight of what a waitlist truly means; it's now just a soft R and feels like getting a participation trophy.

How many people are in the GroupMe?

240

240

Do they verify who enters the chat? Cuz the invite link is posted on here and I’m assuming people who aren’t admitted would enter it

no, they do not…meaning anyone can enter/exit..if people were verified it would be password/code protected

 

[mauvebear]

so is waitlist movement basically hopeless at this point? since they've started interviewing people again

 

[Syncreon3228]

They’re interviewing people for the waitlist probably. Late interviews are unlikely to be at the top of their waitlist. It’s still pretty worrisome when there’s a bunch of people on the waitlist (I’m on the waitlist 😐).

agreed

 

[heartfixer]

if I get into my in-state DO im debating just giving up on this school for my peace of mind lol

 

[DewDropNine]

any WL movement this week?

 

[Syncreon3228]

any WL movement this week?

Probably gonna be a wave next week. June 2 is their CTE deadline. They’re gonna have a concrete view on how many more seats they need to fill. I’m assuming, I have no idea obviously. Maybe someone else can chime in if this makes logical sense

This makes sense, and gives me some hope

 

[scrubadubdub23]

Is there any benefit to writing a continued letter of interest if I have no real updates? Already sent 2 update letters and 2 LOIs

I’d say another is unlikely to help. They received and read ur pasts ones so they might just be actually annoyed by another. But I’m not an adcom, that’s just what I think.

[MsLeafpool]

pre-II OOS R finally 😂

 

[HelpMeAhhHelp]

Does the fact that the CTE deadline is tomorrow mean anything for us on the waitlist?

I hope so and my hope is causing me to think so. But logically yes this would make sense.

 

[tiraratirara]

Do you guys know how strict the literature requirement is?

 

[signpostpony]

A off the WL! WL in November. Call and then email

HUGE! So happy for you!!

 

[speedyredcarxo1234]

How does the waitlist work? Does it go in “order” of when you were put on the list? Or is it more random than that?

Random. Someone just got accepted from a November WL.

 

[scrubadubdub23]

If ur still waiting on an acceptance it is in ur best interest to already be submitting the next cycle application. Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised with a call, but it’s June and this school starts in one month… Their class has to b nearly full.

Hoping that this is not true- hopefully people dropped off due to the CTE date. Last year they were accepting off the waitlist through the end of June - nothing we can do except remain positive!

There should definitely be some acceptances. But the vast majority of WL A’s have probably already went out.

 

[Syncreon3228]

In 2023, they accepted 540 people after interviewing like 660. you can check out the HMSOM Databook. Their yield rate is low. There’s no reason to believe that’s changed. Plus the groupme is probably at like 270

Groupmes from last few years are 280ish if u click on them.

Sounds like they accept a lot of students - but the students don’t choose HMSOM.

I would imagine that as they’ve become more established and have released a couple of impressive match lists, their yield has likely increased.

 

[KingKiller21]

If you want the most up-to-date data, they interviewed 756 last cycle, accepted 459, and 164 matriculated. The yield was around 36%, which is fairly typical for a mid-tier private school, I would say.

I guess technically if the GroupMe is at around 270, we can estimate that there’s probably ~300 total admissions offers. This would means they need to give out ~100-140 more offers this cycle. I don’t know though, maybe someone else can chime in if this doesn’t logically track.

 

[Syncreon3228]

There’s people who have acceptances who aren’t in the group me. The group me doesn’t represent the entire pool of acceptances. Also some people in the group me might be people who aren’t accepted that are just trying to join and see what people are talking about etc.

That’s good, means they have to send out more offers 🤞

I don’t want to erase all hope but saying there will be 100-140 more offers in post-CTE June is kind of wild. Logically there should be very minimal movement past the CTE date.
