There appear to be rumors circulating online that some programs have capitalized on the extended AACOMAS deadlines to not only interview and waitlist students late this cycle...but might be taking super-qualified applicants who applied early for the 2025-2026 cycle and asking them if they want to join the class of 2029 instead.
No news of this school doing such a thing, but it could be a huge reason for the lack of waitlist movement at said med schools, and causing a ripple effect here.
Now if this is true (remaining skeptical), personally, I think it's downright dishonest and shameful for a school to do :/
