Does anyone know when we'll likely hear our financial aid package?
 
Does anyone know approximately what percentage of people are pulled from the waitlist?

IIRC, solely dependent on the number of people who are committed to enroll. If all spots committed, then no WL movement until someone drops. If 10 spots open, 10 WL movements. Pray for movement!!
 
Anyone know the chances of WL people getting the Augusta campus?
 
I just received the early assurance pathway offer right now! Idk if this alludes to low WL movement, but I am a NW Regional Campus Pathway applicant. IDK ahh I have to process this whattt.

I’ll be calling them to find out what would happen to my WL spot if I take the offer. From what I gathered from the email. They basically give you a guaranteed acceptance for next year's class if you fulfill a set of requirements and get your master's. High risk - high reward situation for sure.
 
+1 for early assurance offer. Applied SW Regional Path
 
I feel like this “early assurance program” is insulting for some students. Especially those who already have a couple gap years stacked up. Is the masters program paid for by them? Will I still have to send some sort of application? This application year was already stressful for us and required us to ensure some sort of sacrifice. I don’t believe that we are indispensable to them and should just take whatever crumbs they give us. Know your worth and choose some other medical school (if possible)

I think you may be looking at this the wrong way, it sounds like that program gives students who maybe weren’t 100% competitive enough for immediate acceptance but they still think would make great physicians an opportunity to have a pretty great shot at attending their school (ie alleviating stress)

I have a lot of clinical hours and experience but had a low 500 MCAT so thinking they may want me to do masters for that reason

I think it varies and is quite subjective tbh. In my case, I’m gonna be honest, I thought I was cooked with my MCAT bc it’s wellll below MCG’s median. To me, this felt like a blessing and gave me the feeling that MCG believed in me. It’s such a competitive school to get into these days, so the fact I didn’t get rejected and got this far means a lot to me.

Oh no worries!! I totally understand where you’re coming from, especially if you were an applicant that was competitive for MCG. I think the offers probably went out to people w metrics well below MCG’s avg tho based on the emails wording.
 
Anyone hear anything today 😳

Wonder if it’s a “release on their usual Friday” thing or a “there is no movement” thing…
 
Last year, there was movement right after the deadline so idk (my gut leans towards low WL movement). If I can deduce anything from the GroupMe, the member size was above 304 at one point, which means MCG did overadmit. By how much, we prolly won't have a clue, but it's possible more people committed than expected. It's dropped down a bit now, so hope more drop! I have heard Augusta's full :/

If it was 304, what is it at now on the GroupMe?
Click to expand...
There’s currently 289 members if you exclude the current class liaisons. There’s also current medical students in the chat that has either joined to promote their organization, housing opportunity, or just randomly joined. I would say there’s about 14-16 of them?
 
Maybe I’m just being too optimistic but I wouldn’t be 100% sure that GroupMe is too indicative of what the class size looks like right now. I’m sure there are at least a few admitted people who’ve PTE elsewhere but just haven’t left the chat

WL -> A , didn't get any contact from MCG but checked AMCAS CYMS tool and they updated at 2:14PM lol

Congratulations future doc! Since your AMCAS CYMS tool has already been updated, I'm curious if it shows your A status in the MCG Applicant Portal too.
 
On the WL, checking my email every 5 min for that A

Felt this so much. It’s a rainy day where I live and the power’s been out, so I’m j doing the classic “stares out of the window on a gloomy day” thing rn.

I’m just surprised the WL movement this year is a lot slower than last years. Maybe we’re just unlucky 🙁

Does anyone know if anyone who got the master's program early assurance offer was accepted from the waitllist before? I don't think I remember anyone saying anything like that last year. So just wondering if you get the master's program offer, there's no hope of anything else

This year is the second year of the early assurance offers. I didn't see anyone mention being offered this and then getting off the WL last year, but maybe they j didn't report it? I confirmed with admissions though that this offer doesn't affect your WL status/ranking, whether you accept it or not.

I think it’ll pick up more next week… hopefully. Maybe there’s been less reports due to the initial email delays?

But if after next week WL movement is still slow to nonexistent, that’s when I would really start to worry.

Yeah, good point.

My anxiety is veryyyy high rn, so I think ima take this weekend to really relax and try not to worry too much about the WL movement. It's pure agony.
 
The suspense of WL season is pure hell on my nerves too, but I agree with everyone saying it’s too early to panic about low WL movement. Last year, MCG didn’t release any decisions on the first Friday (May 3rd) after the PTE deadline, and the radio silence continued into the following week for several days. Waves of people still got accepted in May and even a couple stragglers in early June.

The Wednesday timing for the PTE deadline this year was not in our favor. Since MCG’s acceptances off the WL historically begin on May 1st (I couldn’t really find recent evidence of MCG’s WL movement starting on April 30), their committee has only had 1-2 days to meet before the weekend, and their Friday operating hours could also be limited like a lot of offices nowadays. My point is, we don’t really know what the man behind the curtain is doing or not doing. It feels like an eternity for us because our future is at stake, but May only started yesterday. It ain’t over til it’s over y’all
