Thanks for the insight. Wow, we're in the second half of May and they haven't started? If anyone knows or has a guess, how many seats are usually up for grabs typically when they start?
They said in an email 30% of incoming class is from the waitlist. MSAR says ~35 applicants are pulled from the waitlist per year. Their incoming class size is usually ~130 so 30% of that is ~39, so expect around 40 students pulled off the waitlist. Not sure the proportion between HPWL and WL but I assume it’s closer than you would think.
About how big is the waitlist (both of them)?
That I don’t know. Online they say there’s around 300 on the waitlist, not separating into HP and regular.
Hmm. If this group was newly made for the Class of 2029, then I fear we are cooked as RSOM clearly overaccepted. However, if it's the same 1st year groupme that just cycles through new people every year, then yes a good chunk are likely M2's or higher that just never left (cause lord knows I'm still in a lot of groupme chats from undergrad lol, I barely check the app anymore) or it functions as an info chat for different year med students in general. Hard to tell without going through the chat and looking into the people in it 😬
I reached out last week and was told the MSTP class is full.
Just a data point—in 24 hours, 4/5 more people joined the Facebook group, and nothing has been reported here. Even if these were previously accepted students who joined the FB group later, I find it hard to believe that RSOM overaccepted by a margin of now more than 30 applicants (and counting). I also find it equally unlikely that there will be 0 waitlist movement, because even the most competitive schools have applicant attrition, and RSOM is no exception.
I like this.
How'd it turn out for you?
assuming they gave no indication of when that movement would occur ?
yeah they said they cannot predict it at this time 😄
When is their CTE date?
6/23
it was updated to 6/23
Yeah I mean...has it even started? Will it start? These are questions for the RSOM gods.
I emailed to ask since I had an upcoming deadline to commit to another school for a scholarship and they said that they hadn't started working on the waitlist yet and they have no information suggesting the extent of waitlist movement.
I dont get how it could not have started yet i feel like its sooo late this year
Hi can I ask a couple questions about SBU!!
Could you elaborate please? Someone above said waitlist movement hasn't started, so if the class is more than full, then that would imply there's absolutely zero people in the class being accepted from the waitlist.
No one here could really answer these questions. Their response was probably based on the fact that we haven’t had any movement yet.
Thanks, though doesn't come as a surprise. No reported WL movement by mid-June means only one thing. The pattern from the last cycle continued to the point where there was no movement whatsoever -- incredible. I really doubt CTE is gonna change anything this late in the game.
This!! giving false hopes 😭
were these people the ones that posted on last years sdn after CTE or do you know other people?
I'm not sure if they used SDN, but going back and looking at the users it seems like they were separate people. Granted that's like 3-4 spots so still not any real movement.
At this point…
Either way the CTE would’ve passed. With what seems to be no waitlist movement I’ve lost hope 🙁 I probably will be withdrawing from the WL soon
I was more just wondering if they delayed it again but that's probably unlikely, I sent an email asking. Either way It's wraps probably for WL hopefuls basically lol. Kinda crazy that there was actually zero movement this year
