Truly do not think that. I was feeling the same way cause I was waitlisted in Jan when I knew they still had seats open and was so discouraged when other people were getting off the waitlist, but I was accepted a few weeks ago! The waitlist is ranked so you never know!

Congratulations!! Do you mind sharing your stats?

501 MCAT, 3.01 cGPA but very solid uphill trend and did my first two yrs of college while still in high school through running start. Did horrible those two years and took a couple year break after that.

I also have over 10,000 patient care hours, and a publication in The Journal of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.

I’m in the same boat too. It’s so hard to not get discouraged, but we gotta get our heads up!!!

 

[seagreenblue_23]

I am crazy late, but are they still doing interviews? Anyone got one recently?

 

[baseballguy2001]

Just withdrew my A, there should be some movement soon!

 

[anon72928372]

Withdrew my A!

 

[knightroman]

Does anyone know how full the class is yet?

 

[Future.doc411]

Does anyone know how full the class is yet?

It’s continuously full and has been for months. It’s just waitlist movement at this point. The more people drop the more they are able to accept off the waitlist.

 

[knightroman]

Thank you! Ik it’s hard to tell especially with it being a new school, but does it appear like there will be a lot of waitlist movement

 

[coffee_enthusiast]

Waitlisted today. Interviewed on May 13th.

Are they offering conditional acceptance or just a waitlist decision

 

[coffee_enthusiast]

Are they offering conditional acceptance or just a waitlist decision

They only offered the waitlist. My assumption is they're expecting a lot of movement after the June 1st deadline. They offered that deadline to a lot of people.

 

[knightroman]

That’s the housing deadline right? Did they explain how it would work if you get of the waitlist afterwards for housing

 

[PlzletagirlbeaDR]

The housing deadline is June 30th

 

[coffee_enthusiast]

Housing deadline is June 30th, but many people received acceptances recently and were only given until June 1st to decide. They only said they will continue reviewing my application between today and July, so nothing about housing. There has to be special circumstances if that were to happen though, because everyone is required to live in student housing, I believe. I am unsure whether this waitlist is ranked or not.

[gyikhdyhhf-coca-cola]

[futuregirlydoc]

are they only interviewing for WL now?

I believe so, that’s what it seems like from everyone else who has interviewed later. Hopefully there will be a lot of waitlist movement this week with the June 1st deadline just passing

[kaleidoscope503]

IS II on 6/3. Applied for the Fall 2026 class on 5/31 and they emailed with offer to interview for 2025. Didn’t have to fill out a secondary either

Wow! but I thought the class was filled? When is the interview?

 

[kaleidoscope503]

Wow! but I thought the class was filled? When is the interview?

That’s what I thought too but I’m assuming they want in state kids to be the last spots. The interview is 6/12 and I have to submit the secondary (free of charge) by 6/9. If I do get an acceptance, I’m hoping to defer the A until Fall 2026 because I have many commitments this year. And as a bonus it goes to one of you guys who are still waiting!

 

[atomicnugget]

Withdrew my A. Hope it goes to one of you all!

 

[gyikhdyhhf-coca-cola]

How long does it take to hear back after interview?

 

[drbajablast]

How long does it take to hear back after interview?

when I interviewed a few months ago, they said their turnaround time is 2 weeks. probably quicker since it's the end of the cycle

 

[gyikhdyhhf-coca-cola]

Do they allow update letters/ letters on interest? or LOI? I know if new but I really liked the school during my interview. I do have a different DO A that is accredited but like this school better..

Yes they do. Just send it to the admissions email
