UG 3.1, Grad 3.6, and MCAT 498 and retake 497(this was the biggest red flag IMO, and they asked about it), which makes no sense because they don't make their current Master's students re-take their MCATs. I continue to have faith that I will get off the waitlist. Delulu is solulu
Wow, a waitlist is still impressive! Keep the faith, there’s a ton of WL movement closer to April. When did you submit your primary? And how soon after did you get secondaries and your interview?
 
OMG so 5 more spots opemed up this year? I always heard it was 135
Nah. It's always been 140. Usually number fluctuate as the class advances due to ppl coming in from previous years or ppl unfortunately dropping out.

Around primary was August, and secondary in September and October got the II

I can't say how much movement exactly since it "varies every year" -this is what I was told when I was on the waitlist myself last year and inquired (there's hope!). calling to ask (if you haven't yet) doesn't hurt!

I was SUPER late 😭 I submitted my primary on 2/20, secondary 2/26, II 2/27, Interviewed 3/17, WL 4/8!! I am crossing my fingers for some movement!

Omg thats still amazing! Just sent you a private dm because I'm applying to Touro next cycle and would love to get some insight on what made you successful (yes, waitlist is still a success imo!!)
 
does not feel like a success 😭 rly hoping to hear back soon (on the WL)
 
secondary submitted on 6/20 and just completed my interview on 3/24. OOS, still waiting for a decision. I’m guessing it’ll be a WL if not an R, just because of how late in the cycle it is, although I feel like my app and my interview were relatively strong

Pretty unusual that they waited over 8 months to decide whether they wanted to give you an interview or not
 
think i saw smth on a previous years thread where if you personally can get a hold of someone at one of the other campuses who agrees to swap w you then you can
 
WL today after interviewing on 3/24. Anyone know what the WL movement looks like usually? They mentioned that they’ll revisit the WL around mid-May
 
Yeah I have a feeling they send that to everyone
with all due respect, what makes you say that? i do think they waitlist tons and tons of candidates because they need a roster to fill seats that open up. but how would it benefit them to tell everyone that they’re highly ranked? you could very well be right but I am just trying to better understand this perspective
 
Hey all, I got WL’d. I responded to an email I received last night to remain on the WL. I called this morning to ask about sending an LOI, and they kind of rushed me off the phone and said “No, follow directions” even after I specified sending a separate email. I’m confused, as the WL email I received at the beginning of last month said any LOI’s should be sent at the beginning of May. So I guess they don’t accept them? I’m a bit nervous to ask again.

I said I have a feeling so it’s not based on any hard facts. Let’s see if anyone on the WL says they haven’t received it. It’s literally not a big deal lol but I do think it was sent to everyone.

You are allowed to send LOI's, general updates, etc! Direct quote from the email I received from Touro last month when I got WL

"any non-academic updates (e.g., a Letter of Intent or general updates) should not be sent until the beginning of May"

I sent a letter of interest maybe 2 days ago even though it said to wait till beginning of May & I received a response that said "Thank you for your submission" Hope this helps!!

any movement in the Facebook group / GroupMe? also wondering how correlated the “highly ranked candidate” status is to an actual acceptance. it’s hard to say – are we ranked in the top 5? 10? 50??
 
ITS BEEN EXACTLY A WEEK SINCE WE GOT THE HIGH PRIO EMAIL (i am losing my mind refreshing my email every 2 seconds)
