Wishing us all the best for Monday <3

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?

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]

Thanks for the update!

[artemisqueen]

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

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."

The school must have over-accepted accounting for applicants they may be losing out on due to lack of $$, leading to minimal WL movement. Sounds like WL folks will only be pulled off if ppl drop their PTE. Shouldn't the school drop the acceptances if they don't commit by the CTE deadline though? Isn't that the whole point of the CTE deadline? To keep things moving and finalize the class

Yeah seems like it but idk why they gave false hope that they would send more acceptances closer to June. Like they told multiple different students this which is so unfair. Literally led everyone on only to not release anything else. Lol I guess time to move on

 

[purple3081]

I was able to squeeze in some time to attend office hours today during my break and a few students were asking questions about whether or not there will be more students coming off the waitlist. I’m not gonna lie it didn’t really seem super….optimistic. Basically they said the waitlist is still open and when they close it they’ll let students know. But also when asked about whether or not more offers would be sent they said the CTE deadline has already passed and they do sometimes see movement (I think they mean students dropping) after it but it’s rare. Judging by how they answered it they were very dodgy and it almost kinda gave the “vibe” that there will be minimal students getting off the waitlist from here on out. If anyone else attended and picked up a different vibe feel free to say. They did say that right now they really don’t want to overfill or underfill and that there’s a specific number that they’re trying to hit. Unlike before in like mid-May, they are NOT answering the question of whether or not more offers will be released or not. Based on everything they said, it seems like there currently isn’t any seats open and in order for them to send another offer a student would have to defer/withdrawal their position. I think they maybe anticipated more movement than what actually happened

Thank you for sharing.

 

[artemisqueen]

There hasn't been any offers sent since April 30 right?

 

[purple3081]

doesn't really seem like. with all else equal, based on what the group me # was prior to and after April 30th it seems like they sent around 40-45 offers this year. definitely no where near there range of 100-250 lol

 

[junebloom123]

So unfair. You were right purple; this was probably the worst WL movement in the history of DGSOM

 

[dreamingmed]

Thanks for the update.
So it's a done deal from this point, I assume... 🙁 🙁 ..

Admissions office - "Just say it" !!!

 

[shtinkymooshi18]

Thank you for updating us! I'm really disappointed by the unclear communication and lack of movement since April 30th. Even if I did get accepted now, my excitement to attend is pretty much gone :/

 

[purple3081]

Yeah I’m really sorry I’m bummed out too. :/ Feel free to attend virtual hours next week to get an impression for yourself

 

[matchalover1215]

I know it’s not the outcome we all wanted but holding out hope for everyone here!!! I know a few schools that already had CTE deadlines and are still giving out As so we never know!!

 

[jtvle]

I just wish they hadn’t definitively told students that more offers would be sent and that the waitlist was moving faster than last year :’) Kind of gave false hope

 

[purple3081]

I want to preface by saying that I’m obviously not a spokesperson for the school I was just going off what they said during office hours. I highly recommend going for yourself next week and asking whatever questions you have so you can make the most informed decision

 

[eggplant05]

I’m about to CTE for a school bc I got in off the WL— I looked at the CYMS tool and it says my app for UCLA is no longer under consideration. Idk what this means for the rest of WL folk, but if you have an A maybe check CYMS to see if there’s hope or if they secretly rejected people!

Mine still says alt list

Mine used to say alternate list, but now it said “application no longer under consideration”! It was updated around [emoji[emoji638][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]]] day after I received an acceptance to another school

I got a WL rejection email from another school. CYMS shows "application no longer under consideration" for that school.

Lol when was your status updated? Your reply was straight wingdings

 

[matchalover1215]

Mine is also still alt list

 

[eggplant05]

LOL I’m sorry idk why it just does that for me, prob because I’m on mobile. It was updated around one day after I received an acceptance off the WL to another school!

But it had it updated to “no longer under consideration” before you hit cte at your other school?

 

[eggplant05]

Yeah, when I got accepted I checked CYMS and it said alt list for UCLA, but a day later they updated my status ‘no longer under consideration’. I only just saw it today when I went in to CTE. I was also regular WL for UCLA, I don’t know if it makes a difference though

 

[purple3081]

Bro this person from their office who told u this … karma will come for you mama for raising our hopes up despite a catastrophic waitlist outcome for this cycle. Were they just making **** up?

it’s like they either give us misleading information or no information at all lol

 

[matchalover1215]

Any changes in the GroupMe this week?

A couple people joined today, but that was after all the admitted students received a newsletter with the GroupMe link in it.
