I will say, (working in Pittsburgh rn), power outages last week are still ongoing for some people, and the admissions site being down like Thursday wasn't just specific to the admissions site. Lots of Pitt services were down, so it was just a server issue, not a site down due to admissions tinkering with it issue.

anyone have any theories or guesses on why they’re doing WL movement so late this year? do we think the class is full and they’re waiting for more people to drop or just running late this year? weird because ppl saw the glitch back in march so i would’ve assumed they already started looking at WLs for the past month

Maybe it’s the funding stuff with NIH
 
I wish adcom realized that we don’t have time to wait anymore, especially those with no A’s
Its amazing that this all happens this late. I think it would be beneficial to make the PTE date much earlier in the cycle. Not only would it help people who need to make accomodations to apply again, but also give accepted students more time to plan moving/their entire life.

I have an acceptance but am waitlisted at two schools i would consider better opportunities. But i dont have time to wait to make plans for moving across the country with a cat/dog/husband by july 1! Probably going to give up at the end of this week and start making real plans 😭

They seem to change waitlist timelines every so often so I wouldn't rule out the possibility that they're just spicing things up (rude af this late tho). The power outage is also a reasonable suspicion but lowkey they gotta be over that by now. Regardless, I find comfort in the GroupMe being about the same size as last year's which means they have to admit more at some point, as they've stated
 
Could also be cus of this (national science foundation research funding slash)

If we get off the waitlist would we expect an email or call? Or should we be checking our portal everyday ( idk if I can check everyday for my mental health )😭
 
Not off the waitlist sob. Was really hoping I don’t have to reapp. Gl to you all, at least now I don’t have to check the portal anymore.

CONGRATS to yall who got off WL!! Did you guys have that glitch?
Thank you! Which glitch are you referring to? I did have the one where my portal said my application was under review, and then it switched back to being on the waitlist shortly after (i.e. same timeline for others that noticed the switch). My AAMC tool was also updated to reflect an April waitlist date. Unrelated, but I did call admissions yesterday morning to inquire about waitlist timelines, and the person said they expect to give out offers "in the next week or so." I'd think more waitlist movement will come this week and next but not certain of course.

Has anyone tried getting info about where they are on the waitlist (lol)? I know they say it's unranked but I feel like there has to be some kind of ranking system...and if I'm the last one on the waitlist I'd rather know so I can move on and focus on reapps 🤣
