do we have to complete the pre admit checklist to even be taken off the waitlist?

no but apparently it shows initiative and commitment to the school and they would apparently prefer to admit students who are ready to go (who already completed most of their checklist)do we have to complete the pre admit checklist to even be taken off the waitlist?

I heard that too but tbh idk with this school. They seem so mismanaged. My intuition says they're just gonna go down the ranking :/no but apparently it shows initiative and commitment to the school and they would apparently prefer to admit students who are ready to go (who already completed most of their checklist)

I think it’s a bit of both. In my virtual tour, they said that if there were between person A and person B, and person A had their checklist done, 99% certain they will go to person A.I heard that too but tbh idk with this school. They seem so mismanaged. My intuition says they're just gonna go down the ranking :/

anybody else get an email at 2am? “We have learnt that some applicants whose admission application is on the Alternate List have received email from Downstate wrongly suggesting that they have been admitted into the program of study they have applied for.
That happened because of a glitch with the program we are using.”

The formatting alone, much less the phrasing, kills me

Yeah got that. Albany pulled the same **** back in Decemberanybody else get an email at 2am? “We have learnt that some applicants whose admission application is on the Alternate List have received email from Downstate wrongly suggesting that they have been admitted into the program of study they have applied for.
That happened because of a glitch with the program we are using.”
Do we really need to complete all the BLS trainings and health forms all at once to even considered moving form the waitlist? The matriculation checklist says "BLS Certificate (medicine accept only)" but the instruction on the website says everyone has to complete it....
