UCLA’s CTE deadline isn’t in August it’s on June 2nd I believe! If you’re top of the waitlist, you have a really good chance of getting in if you decide to wait out but if you’re regular waitlist then I’m not too sure how risky it might be.

Dyt that for top of waitlist ppl, if we don't hear by early June (after movement following the 6/2 CTE deadline) then we should just assume we're going to another school?

I don’t want to give incorrect advise since this school is super all over the place 🙁 I would say it’s best to email the DGSOM admissions team and ask for their perspective! They’re very friendly.

 

[anxiouspremedd]

hi! are there any more students here that are “near top of the waitlist” and still waiting to hear back? ik this cycle has been so different, getting quite anxious at this point 🙁

 

[Luckyduckcoin]

Hey guys!!! I will be withdrawing my position on the wl as I just got into my first MD of the cycle OOS. Thanks everyone and good luck <3

 

[purple3081]

How’s everyone feeling this week? I feel like they will definitely 100% be waiting until after June 2 at this point lmao

Srsly wondering at this point if the class is nearly full. Does anyone know what the gc # was during previous years?

I feel like the GroupMe numbers aren’t super accurate since some years they can a ton of M1’s join and other years not so much so it’s really hard to gage.

Makes sense. Hoping the 220 includes ppl who never left the gc even after de-committing to the school

 

[junebloom123]

Has anyone had any success getting in touch with adcoms whether by phone or email recently?

Seriously feeling unoptimistic... if that even is a word...
June 2nd is coming up and many schools have CTE deadlines coming up
I guess if we don't head back by June 2nd, it's gonna be an R in my mind ...

I just feel like they will release like very few. I think they’ll cover the few remaining maybe like 5-10 top of the waitlist people left and they won’t get to regular waitlist this year

No one has any luck reaching out to admissions via phone call right?

It goes straight to a recording 🙁

Dang they probably know we're all anxious and trying to evade anymore questions haha

 

[carpe_diem_to_medschool]

Did anyone hear anything via an email response?

 

[purple3081]

Wow they’ve really gone MIA

They don't answer the phone, so I emailed them. They said they're expecting to release a few more acceptances in the coming days close to June 2nd. Idk make of it what you will...

The coming days??? …erm tomorrow is the last biz day before June 2 lol

Yup 🫠🙃

 

[purple3081]

This is kind’ve an aside question but with all of the funding cuts and what not does this school still have an MSTP program?

 

[purple3081]

msar waitlist document was updated today!

That doesn't give me confidence lmao

Oh I meant that the side says the offers range from 100-250. Before there was no range. I mean that’s actually quite a lot if the minimum that gets off is 100

 

[carpe_diem_to_medschool]

See you guys on Monday?

 

[artemisqueen]

Wishing us all the best for Monday <3

 

[purple3081]

at this point its just so laughable that they really dragged it out this long. like i can't believe it's almost june and we're at the exact same place we were on May 1st.

 

[jtvle]

If the waitlist is moving as fast as they say, I’m manifesting a big batch of As for us this week! <3

 

[milo_med]

wouldnt waitlist movement happen later this week if today is the deadline to commit?

 

[anxiouspremedd]

im wondering the same^ do we think there will be any movement today? 🥺

 

[purple3081]

im wondering the same^ do we think there will be any movement today? 🥺

I think the CTE deadline is at like 3 PM today (correct me if I’m wrong) so definitely nothing until then

 

[junebloom123]

Does anyone have the group chat count? Would be great to know where the number's at

 

[Bagel Enjoyer]

It is still at 220

 

[junebloom123]

It is still at 220

Thanks for the update!

 

[carpe_diem_to_medschool]

So.. very.. quiet..

 

[artemisqueen]

Me debating to reach out to adcom like they're an ex boyfriend and we're in no contact

 

[simlish]

a normal california premed experience

 

[purple3081]

if they don't release anything today I'm gonna be so annoyed lol

[matchalover1215]

Crazy to think that some of us got invited to interview in August and 10 months later we still don’t have a final answer from this school

 

[dreamingmed]

Did anyone try to reach the Admissions office? This is beyond frustrating right now.
They should at least say YAY or NAY so that we the "wait listers" can move on

apparently they aren't answering the phone and are giving vague responses over email. I have work so I can't but if anyone wants to attend virtual office hours tomorrow to ask it would be much appreciated.

i'm literally preparing to move from California to the east coast for a job this summer but if UCLA calls I'd have to come running back? I know it's not personal at all but it's so wildly frustrating that I haven't been able to commit 100% to future plans since I interviewed in SEPTEMBER.

exactly i just don't really understand what the hold-up is for. The CTE deadline has passed. They've had A MONTH to assess which students they'd like to start pulling off the waitlist next. unfortunately for us though, the ball is 100% in their court and they know that students would be willing to drop everything a week before school starts to come here (or at least those that don't have A's elsewhere).

 

[artemisqueen]

I remember they responded to someone's email here saying they'll release more of this "movement" a few days before june 2 right? 😭

 

[meowzerrs]

Idk if they just dont want to give any definitive answers, but part of their email makes it sound like there might not be a lot of movement.

"Thank you so much for reaching out. We are still awaiting some responses from students who have planned to enroll but have not committed to enroll. Although yesterday was our deadline, movements off the waitlist can still occur after our deadline of June 2nd."
