Congratulations. Where you WL? Are you instate?

Congratulations. Where you WL? Are you instate?

Yes I was waitlist 1/31 i think. I’m OOS CA

 

[Chris Gomez]

Is there a group me for C/O 2029?

 

[knightroman]

Is anybody turning down their waitlist acceptances?

 

[dance_medic]

Does anyone know how many seats they’re trying to fill and when we might expect more waitlist movement?

 

[lockeddoc]

Anyone get this as well? Is OCOM expecting heavy summer melt? Were they able to fill the class last year fully and did they expend the WL as well?

Yep.

 

[fairwayfinder]

Not sure what to think of this for us people on the waitlist. It’s either we have a promising chance considering they could be running thin on the WL or we are getting overlooked because they are looking for others. I have no clue what to be thinking right now. They did last year

 

[53Chieftain]

So do they just discard those on the WL if they are this desperate to get people other than WL ones..?

 

[lockeddoc]

I think they’re concerned about evaporating the WL and want reserves

 

[dance_medic]

I think they’re concerned about evaporating the WL and want reserves

I’m hoping that’s the case, but they should really contact the WL to see what their real stats are. Send us the A don’t be scared 🥲

Trying hard to not take things personally but it feels disrespectful given that some people need to make living arrangements in such an expensive area. It was nice to see some movement for some people earlier this week though!

I got the same email! Interviewing 6/25. I was waitlisted at another school but this is in state for me so I prefer OCOM honestly.

Interviewing on 6/25 wow. They must feel something about the WL. I wonder if other schools are gonna be interviewing this late as well

 

[lockeddoc]

It’s also possible besides expecting significant melt to other schools that OCOM is worried their current WL/A seats need to meet other diverse class metrics in order get pre-accreditation from COCA. I think for this school there will be a lotta WL movement in the three weeks after the June 18th and 25th interview dates

 

[53Chieftain]

I'm korean... so mabey I should apply!
Jk

I actually called yesterday and asked if I had a chance at an interview for class of 2029, even tho I haven't submitted a primary... and the lady said yes, I still have a strong chance because they need to fill seats still...
I'm debating if I wanna spend another $200 to apply or not...

 

[Thismyname]

Are they looking for higher GPA / MCAT applicants? Or is it something else they’re looking for? It sounds like there are interested people on the WL, so I’m curious about what’s happening

 

[53Chieftain]

Just curious, to those on the wl, what are your gpas?

I told the admissions representative that I have a 497mcat and 3.45gpa
She said their average mcat has been 502 and gpa 3.3

I’m on the WL! science GPA - 3.51, cumulative GPA - 3.74

 

[53Chieftain]

That's a high gpa compared to their average (and in general... good job!)

Did you get a decent mcat? I'm sure theyll give you the A soon!

I was taken off the waitlist 2 weeks ago. My GPA is 3.65 and MCAT 500. Non-traditional student.

Which Orlando DO school would you rather go to if you had a choice?

 

[knightroman]

Does anyone have an idea how long their waitlist size is

 

[53Chieftain]

What exactly do you mean..? I think there's only one...
I'd rather go to Burrell in Melbourne which is a school that i am currently WL at...

BTW I'm a FL resident and want to stay in FL

You’re right my b. Just trying to get the vibe for OCOM

It must be shorter or they don’t believe there are many active names on there

 

[Chris Gomez]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to clarify that I was pulled off the waitlist this past Monday.

Stats: cGPA 3.8 | sGPA 3.45 | MCAT 496

I’d been on the waitlist since January, so it was a long journey. What I believe made the difference:

• I sent multiple letters of intent over time
• Called admissions several times to express genuine interest
• Emphasized why I wanted to go to OCOM specifically
• Highlighted my extensive clinical experience (which I think helped them overlook my MCAT)
• I also believe I interviewed very well

If you’re still on the waitlist, don’t lose hope. Persistence, a compelling “why OCOM,” and proven dedication to patient care really do matter. Wishing everyone the best!

 

[pdavid]

I was on the waitlist for a little over a month. Interviewed late April. I also interviewed in-person so maybe that helped a little.

 

[knightroman]

Any news today?

 

[fairwayfinder]

Admissions said they will make decisions roughly twice a week. Also stated that they still have 2 interviews left, which most likely will make WL movement less. Luckily, there is still seats still open.

Do you know roughly how many seats are open

No they didn’t specifically say

Wondering this as well. Would appreciate the link if anyone has it!

 

[svanderbleek]

Applied 2026 cycle and got offered an interview for Fall 2025 on June 25th yesterday. I'd likely take an A if I get one since I live an hour away and the director of research looks good to me.

 

[pdavid]

Does anyone have any advice for applying for the private loans?

I got the same thing as well last week, but I had to turn it down since I’m committed to a school.

I did not receive it. Did people already interviewed and get WL by LMU and still received this email about interviewing on 6/18?
