I just called them they said that I could expect my fin aid in July but I’m like I need it before then because isn’t the final day to commit June 1st? I’m also trying to negotiate for tuition.
I am in the same boat. Have you reached out to them? I emailed them last week and they just responded saying they will contact as soon as final decision has been made. 🙁
No, I did not since I was expecting a similar response.
yes. it is really hard just to keep waiting for the email to come. any updates on the application would be helpful.
I agree 100%. I interviewed the last week of Feb.
Thanks, I really hope so.
been delulu since December, and will continue to be 🫠
No. I heard there likely won't be any movement this week either.
Where did you hear this from? Anyone know when WL movement typically begins?
Well, last year it began late May, though they said that was highly unusual. I emailed the adcom last week and they said, "hopefully in the next several weeks" -- vague, but could mean any time. If they are running on the traditional schedule, then I guess that we should get something within the next two weeks. But who knows, honestly?
do you know if theyre referring to the HPWL ?
I have no idea. The assumption is that the first offers will be given to whoever's left on the HPWL, but I don't think the adcom publicly acknowledges its existence, lol. Med schools really dislike having vacancies in their classes, so they move fast. Past threads have shown that there's been some ostensible overlap (at least in how it's been reported) between the WL and HPWL.
As a first response? According to Cycletrack the last acceptance last cycle was reported on May 1st. But from the waitlist, they can offer you acceptance until July I think, which is generally when they send the "our class is full at this time" email.
I have a friend that is at RSOM now and they were taken off the waitlist mid-June. Normal WL too, not HPWL.
have you heard back anything?
If your email only mentioned that you're on the wait-list, then you are on the regular WL. The HPWL email is different and will specifically mention it.
were you on the reg WL before?
did you submit a LOI recently?
Not recently. I sent out first week of April. I called them yesterday around noon though
Yes, there were a few acceptances reported from late interviews.
acceptance from HPWL? or placed on it?
placed on it
I did. At this point, I don't think they diligently check the portal. I have just emailed any docs/updates directly to the somas email. They've been quite good with their confirmation replies.
We truly won’t know. It seemed like last year they filled more than usual early on, leading to slow/little WL movement. It was apparently a one-off, but I would not be surprised if that’s the new norm 😄
Agreed and glad you have a spot somewhere! Thinks my top school too and I’m on 2 other WL; just trying to hold on to some hope and wait it out as I apply for another cycle.
I called today. They said they haven’t started working on waitlists for this year (normally, they would have begun this time around). Probably by the end of next week, they will start reviewing waitlists. hopefully
