[MrMiyagi2]

Received A from WL this afternoon. Interviewed late March. LizzyM 64.4

Manifesting an A for everyone else still!

 

[Med-School Chick]

Just got email from Howard. Got super excited. I thought it was the one to say I was off the wait list but it was a reminder about the second look on Friday😔

 

[SR64]

Is second look an in-person event?

 

[snoopythedoc]

Is second look an in-person event?

yes, i think it’s only for accepted/waitlisted students though

 

[Med-School Chick]

Is second look an in-person event?

Yes, it's an in-person tour of the campus.

 

[Med-School Chick]

Anyone going to the 2nd look on Friday?

This sucks guys 🙁 I do have an A from another school, but I have until June 1st to sign out on campus housing lease and if I don't they will recede my acceptance. Thats not even the worst part if we decided to not attend this school were liable for the entire years worth of rent ($20,000).

Don't get me wrong Im very grateful for my A, but HU is my dream school and my entire family & friends live in DC </3 hoping to hear something in the next two weeks

Nothing was shared about the cycle. Current students just said to keep waiting and that people get off the waitlist late in the cycle.

Oh wow!🥺 I'm really starting to worry. I know they say 80% come off the list but how is that possible or has the trend changed.

it seems that some people have been coming off but maybe not as many as they led on, especially right after april 30. it’s been pretty slow

 

[SR64]

I believe someone mentioned that Dr. Rose was out of office last week so praying we see movement this week!

I remember Ms. Williams-Folkes mentioning that if you get a WL consider it an acceptance. But now I’m wondering how much that statement is true…

yeah we were told the same during my interview.. that’s a pretty strong statement to make to anxious premeds lol way to get hopes up high. I hope and pray that it’s true

 

[Med-School Chick]

Does anyone know approximately how many are on the WL? I know they say 100-120, but some people reject the offer to be placed on the list, and some have come off the list. I guess I just answered my question........

I was told that too.

When will this school send out pre II R?

 

[turtle7]

congrats to everyone on their A’s!!! This cycle has been so hard on us all! I pray the rest of us who are on WL or even waiting for ii can keep our heads held high. We’re all great candidates and we wouldn’t have made it this far if we weren’t! Proud of all of us and praying we all get excellent news soon

Will we still receive II? Unless we can get a letter of recommendation from our famous alumni Kamala Harris

I have no idea. I have seen in threads from previous years where they have sent out ii as late as june, but i’m not sure for this cycle. Has anyone been in contact with admissions lately to see where they’re at in the cycle or if they expect any more ii’s ir WL movement?

 

[osshwop]

Those of you who were interviewed and not accepted, were you placed on the “waitlist” or “alternative list”. And those who were accepted off of one of them which one were you accepted off of. Just wanna see if there’s a difference.

I believe alternate list and waitlist is the same thing. I am on the alternate list

fb group size might not be the best gauge, but the groupme has 84 ppl right now, including a few current m1s/rising m2s. feels like a better indicator since ppl usually leave that when they withdraw rather than the fb group. fingers crossed for the waitlist folks!

is the groupme student led or was it created by the administration?

For those on the alternate list, Dr. Rose said to expect more movement June 12th because that is the commit to enroll deadline

Thanks for the update! Will there be no movement until then? or just slow?

Was the GroupMe linked in the acceptance email? I know fb isn’t an accurate indicator it’s just had to ignore 😭 like it just hit 138 today

 

[psalm46.5]

Friends on the waitlist - have you guys started re-applying?

 

[soontobemed_]

Friends on the waitlist - have you guys started re-applying?

starting to seriously consider it.. and not looking forward to it

 

[Med-School Chick]

I plan to order my transcript, enter my classes on the AAMC application, and request updated letters of recommendation to be submitted. After which, I will pause to see how things progress with the waitlist. This way, I can have the most time-consuming tasks finished. If there is no real movement by June 13, I will start completing the application and apply for the next cycle.

 

[Prehealth - R]

Friends on the waitlist - have you guys started re-applying?

I’m already reapplying

 

[Prehealth - R]

How many people on the alternate list also, like this message if in same situation?

 

[NeverGiveUp199]

Are interview pretty much done at this point? I’ve heard that interviews a year ago was extended until June.

 

[SR64]

Was anyone able to hear back with any information from the admission office officially?

 

[psalm46.5]

I think they’re probably closed for Memorial Day today. Hopefully we see movement this week 🤞

 

[psalm46.5]

Anyone hear back today?

 

[Prehealth - R]

Anyone hear back today?

It's the crickets for me

 

[soontobemed_]

i guess since the WL ranked and final they’re just moving down the list real slow.. last year there was a lot more movement around this time tho
