IS A! First MD acceptance. Could not be more thrilled! See y’all in August 🙂

For those not accepted or waitlisted, do not give up! I was in your shoes 1 year ago and now look! Keep going!

OOS Alternate list #138. This is my only hope so don’t know how to feel

 

[leydigbae]

OOS A :_)) interviewed on (i think) their last interview day, 1/17. I will likely be withdrawing but I love this school so much, their Writing and Humanities program is unparalleled. Good luck to everyone!

For applicants reading this in the future: I truly believe sending an update helped me secure my interview! I submitted secondaries in early Aug, radio silence until I submitted an update on 12/5 and received the interview on 12/30. Maybe it's a coincidence, but also maybe not!

IS WL #8. Is this a good position to be in?

IS WL #8. Is this a good position to be in?

I feel like that's a great position to be. Not a ton of IS folks ahead of you and they may still choose to go elsewhere.

+1 OOS Post-II R

 

[bananaboat10]

Anybody know if there’s an admitted students group chat?

 

[scarletblight]

Does anyone have the numbers for how much the OOS waitlist has moved in the past few years? I was just placed in the mid-30’s.

 

[poopydoops]

IS R, as expected. Best of luck to everyone.

 

[AnEndlessSourceofLove]

OOS A 🥹 Dreams really do come true!!!! Hugs to everyone on the WL <3

[Chickabob29]

I am #30 WL In state. Does anyone know what my chances could look like. Any insights would be appreciated.

 

[youmatter:)]

is #5 looking good for OOS 🥺 Carver is my top choice

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

I’m almost certain you’ll get the offer! Send a letter of intent 🙂

 

[Chickabob29]

Are we allowed to send letters of intent? I though they said they don’t accept them.

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

My bad! You're correct. My brain just auto-defaults to LOI when WL+Top choice.

 

[Chickabob29]

I am IS WL #30. Should I even keep any hope of getting accepted?

Hold up. That’s my spot. Are you OOS by chance? 😂

 

[WitchyCat]

OOS R. Congrats to everyone who was accepted and best of luck to those on the waitlist 😊

 

[tr4mmy]

I’m currently sitting at #31 WL for IS… this is my first time applying and was wondering if there is any hope of me getting in this year or if I should start prepping for my reapplication?

 

[crknwk2000]

That's great that IS lets you know where you are on the WL. I wish all schools did this!
Good luck to you all on said WL!!

 

[smithy3]

Hold up. That’s my spot. Are you OOS by chance? 😂

Oh! Oops

 

[Chickabob29]

Any WL movement for anybody?

 

[Malignwine]

Since Wednesday, it’s dropped 8 for me OOS but none today.

 

[Chickabob29]

What was your original position @Malignwine

 

[Malignwine]

What was your original position @Malignwine

Mid 40s

 

[AppleDestroyer]

Withdrew my OOS A earlier today, I hope it goes to one of you very deserving applicants!

Every time the WL moves up by one, the theoretical room of duck-sized horses between me and getting to start school in the Summer shrinks, and I get (maybe foolishly) excited.

 

[RegularJoe]

Does anyone know when financial aid offers will be released? I can't find anything about it on Carver's website... Sorry if this question has already been asked!

 

[youmatter:)]

any WL movement?

 

[Pharmageddon347]

any WL movement?

IS waitlist has not moved

 

[Malignwine]

OOS WL also hasn’t moved, at least for me

 

[bananaboat10]

I think they work through them periodically! Mine showed up in the MyUI portal a few days after I filled out the parent financial information forms.

 

[Malignwine]

WL dropped one OOS for me today!

 

[youmatter:)]

I’ve dropped one since WL started! Prob gonna have to wait until May for more movement :/

 

[Hopefulmedstudent1011]

I've dropped 13 spots since WL start!

 

[Wampire]

Withdrew my OOS WL position. OOS tuition and location just couldn’t compete with my other acceptances, but I was impressed by the curriculum and medical humanities track. Hope one of you lovelies gets your much deserved A

Wow I feel this is a lot more movement compared to the previous years from lurking on the threads!

 

[onedirection5]

Is there an accepted students groupme?

 

[pmfromiowa]

Is there an accepted students groupme?

Only a FB group as far as i know

 

[RegularJoe]

I have been wondering if there was a Facebook group, but I haven't heard anything about it until now... Would you mind sharing the group name?

 

[PreDeltaMed]

Has anyone here received their financial aid information yet?

 

[CRISPR-Cas-yourmom]

I have been wondering if there was a Facebook group, but I haven't heard anything about it until now... Would you mind sharing the group name?

if soemone could share the facebook group, I would really appreciate it too! also, does anyone know what the attire is for Saturday? all I saw in the emails was that the optional dinner that night "casual dress encouraged" but it didn't talk about attire for the official events in the morning

Carver sent out an email in February about the Second Look event that said "casual dress is encouraged all day", but I haven't seen that posted anywhere else. I am sure that plenty of people will end up wearing business casual attire (especially if they didn't receive the February email), but doing so doesn't seem to be required or expected...

the group name is "Class of 2029 - Carver College of Medicine". I also saw the "casual dress encouraged all day" but will probably err on the side of comfortable biz casual

 

[Hopefulmedstudent1011]

Has anybody been accepted from the OOS waitlist or has movement just been due to people withdrawing?

99% sure it’s just people withdrawing 😭
