Same boat, friend.
I’m sorry to hear this. Did they email you the news?

Yes they did email. I'm pretty surprised that they started rejecting people off the waitlist so soon.
I am curious if it’s a sweeping email to all those they decided to “reject” or if it’s a case by case thing.

Does anyone know how many people are placed on the waitlist? And how many people typically get offered acceptance from the waitlist?
I think they may release more As tomorrow (since last week was Match Week and there hasn't been any As since the first week of March)

I just found out they usually do a ranked WL -- does anyone know if this is still the case and when they might release the ranking?
Idk. I’m getting nervous. I’m trying to just plan for reapplying because it’s going to be easier on me emotionally and logistically if I do that now, but I still struggle with not wanting to just have hope I’ll get pulled off the WL. But idek if they’ve established the alternate list yet. I may not even be placed on that, which would suck of course

Did other people who got rejected also get the email about changing at least one letter of recommendation?

Does any accepted student have a UMN email yet? They said scholarship info would be sent via that but I’m not sure where/how to make/find mine
I got an email with the subject line "Your University of Minnesota Student ID Number & Email Address" with a link to create the account. The tech support person I worked with was also very helpful!
EDIT: I got this email 3/10 and was accepted 1/24
What campus?
literally same!! they havent sent out any As in almost a month
I am guessing they are reviewing all the waitlisted applicants?

yikes this makes me nervous lol -- what do you think this means for those on the WL?
TC!
I think they reject a portion of the current waitlisted people, accept a portion, and put the rest on a ranked alternative list. According to the website, they only provide the approximate ranking (not sure what that means). Last year I was rejected from the waitlist.

oh wow, so does that mean they accept people off the waitlist before April 30?
no clue lol. I am on the waitlist again this year and hopefully the history does not repeat itself T_T

How did you set it up? Did you also get an email for that? Feel like I missed something lol
I got an email with my student ID and clicked the link in that email to set up a password. It tells you your username and that is the first part of your email. The email works through gmail with @umn.edu after your username.

This came with my rejection (the advice to change at least one letter). I’m curious if others received the same advice
My rejection email from last year said pretty much the same. So it is probably a template
I see what you mean. As a side note, my rejection email was different. Mine starts with "Thank you for your application to the University of Minnesota Medical School’s MD program. Your application has received its final review. I regret to inform you that your file has been closed and is no longer being considered for admission into the incoming class of 2025 as all of our interview spots have been filled for this cycle."

4/30 is the commit to enroll date, so hopefully, there is some WL movement shortly after. When do you all think we will get that ranked list?
+1 IS WL

Yes, I took a look at the SDN page from last year and it looks like there was all sorts of movement on it. Lots of people who were originally accepted that declined and then people on the waitlist that ended up dropping off. It seems like it's combination of where you are on the waitlist, a lot of luck and "how the cookie crumbles" at this point. No idea if they have waitlist ranking or if they'll release those rankings this year since everything has been different. For better or worse, if you're on the waitlist it's not over until classes start.
I am on the waitlist for the UMN. Do you all know if they accept letters of intent? The waitlist email states, "Since the Admissions Committee has already reviewed your file, we are unable to accept any additional materials," but I am unsure if that only includes application updates. Thanks!

I believe they will release waitlist placement, but I do not know when. I've heard April 30th.

I think end of April/beginning of May is when they start accepting/rejecting people off the waitlist but I believe they don't send out the ranked alternate list until June
