If it helps with your cope. There isn’t gonna be any WL movement till May 1.
May 1!!?? Gyatt dayummmm
NOO dw i feel you fam. I too was super anxious over all this, but I’ve just embraced Master Oogway’s mentality now:
The April 30th deadline does not mean you have to withdraw your WL placements. To my knowledge, you can still hold onto any WLs you have, but you can only hold one A.
April 15 is a suggested deadline and not actually strict
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.
Dibs!
Thanks for letting us know. You’ll make an amazing physician wherever you go fr. <3
They said mid to late may
Where'd you see that? thanks for the help!
I asked financial aid advisor and she told me!
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!!
Why would that connote low WL movement? Just curious
I just figured like if they liked me so much, why not take me off the WL yk? I have also heard Augusta is full so idk. Tbh I'm just soooo happy and confused rn.
Are you saying you are not off the waitlist yet but have
so is the early assurance pathway not an A?
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 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.
sorry for my misunderstanding! All the best to you, I’m glad you got this chance!!
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.
