I promise if you did not get one you are noooot missing out. It's an email plugging to apply to their post-bacc with a reminder that the post-bacc is particularly helpful for ppl who currently do not have a competitive gpa or mcat 🤭
 
I bit the bullet and called. Just got off the phone literally rn. here’s the whole spill. She said: from what it looks like the waitlist is moving more than what it was last year. I was like wow really. Then I asked her how do they choose who to fill the withdrew seat. She goes the adcom meets and forms a list. Once again this leads me to believe even though it’s unranked it’s ranked. I asked her if it was unranked wouldn’t it make sense just to premake a list and just go down that list instead of them having to reconvene every time someone withdraws. She said it depends on who withdraws. Ding ding dinggg once again leads me to believe it’s ranked. Idk why these schools say it’s unranked when it is. Even though they have top priority and reg I still think there’s ranking within those 2 categories. But also I want you guys to know there’s hope, because she said there’s still gonna be lots more waitlist movement till June. I asked her when in June does it stop. She said wl movement typically stops around EARLY June. I tried to be as thorough with my questions so I could feed yall as much as possible because it’s so stressful rn and we need these questions answered lol. And she said she couldn’t share when next set of As are released. And she told me to keep my fingers crossed and if I had anymore questions to reach out.

No I forgot lol. But honestly we all know deep down inside they aren’t sending that shii to someone they are for sure admitting. I got something similar from ucsf then got rejected. However I didn’t even get an II w them, so I didn’t even get the chance to be wl. But I feel like they spam sent it to everyone w/o an A. So most likely you shouldn’t let it allow you to feel like it’s the kiss of death. And when you click the link it says the deadline for the post bac consortium is may 16th, so my intuition tells me the genuinely don’t even know if we are gonna get off the wl or get rejected, but they just want to present us an opportunity to strengthen our app b4 the deadline. So a money grab but a helpful one ig.

I wonder based on what metrics it seems like waitlist movement is more this year if they haven’t even finished the top of the waitlist people yet 😭

In all honesty my theory I’ve been preaching like a broken record is the whole unranked waitlist agenda gives them the opportunity to intentionally choose who they want to withdraw off the wl outside of stats. The way I see it if they interviewed you in the first place you’re obviously qualified enough metric wise to be admitted. Of course your interviewing/people skills is import too but I think what they care most about outside of metrics which get you in the door for an ii is who you are. Wdym by who you are you ask? What are your experiences can you contribute to the class, what race are you, are you male or female, what’s your sexuality etc. obviously there’s no way in hell they will admit 170 Latino male gay doctors. That’s not what the patient population in the real world reflects. So they curate a med school class to their taste that is diverse with high stats. And as those people get into better choices like Harvard for example, they get an identical waitlister to replace them ex. A white army vet male withdraws, they might find someone similar who is also a w male who’s a vet (probably with lower stats or a lower interview score). It’s obviously not a 1:1 identical copy lol, that’s why lower stat applicants tend to be wl then get off.

No that definitely makes a lot of sense! I just don’t really understand how they’re both ranked and unranked at the same time? I mean the person on the phone admitted that they have SOME kind’ve list right?
