I assume WL movement will begin in May based on trends/years prior? Just ready for an answer at this point

I think 4/30 is the earliest WL movement could begin. Ofc depends on how much of the class is committed to enroll. I was told that first week of May is where majority of the WL movement happens.

I expect the earliest we'll hear about WL movement is May 1st. I'm honestly just relieved the PTE deadline doesn't fall on a Friday this year because having to spend an additional 2 days for any news would be torture. On the bright side, all this waiting has encouraged me to spend more time on self-care and my personal hobbies that I had to sacrifice for work, the MCAT, ECs, and grinding out essays. I'd also like to hear something sooner rather than later, though, for financial and housing reasons.
 
Does anyone know approximately what percentage of people are pulled from the waitlist?
 
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.
 
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.
 
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?

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 🙁
