Just got the call 10 minutes ago from my top MD school (1 week post CTE). It truly isn’t over yet y’all keep the faith and please take care of yourselves. What a rough journey this has been.

Lord I’ve seen what you’ve done for others 😭🙏

I ain’t religious but I’m boutta be if it means I never have to write another secondary again
 
I’m struggling to understand how the waitlist benefits anyone but the schools at this point…or maybe I’m just jaded
 
Does anyone know how financial aid works when (notice how I didn’t say “if”, lol) we get accepted this late at the cycle? Curious what the process/timeline usually looks like.
 
Question, if I CTE now to one school does that mean I lose my WL position at the other MD school?
 
Did anyone experience a super long wait for your transcripts? My schools say that AMCAS has received and downloaded them, but AMCAS says they have not been received. I don’t know what to do other than wait…

For Amcas no but I did for the DO application. But it does take a couple of days for AMCAS to update so I wouldn't worry!
 
Manifesting to be pulled off of my one waitlist. Hoping for a miracle like the Pacers
Yell Nba Playoffs GIF by NBA
 
Is it bad that I havent started DO primary yet? AMCAS submitted and already verified tho so thats going at least.
 
Unfortunately I am gonna submit my reapplication soon...

I was wondering the best way to go about this financially? I am currently on a few waitlists right now so I am still holding out hope for them while getting ready to resubmit my primaries.

Should I just send out a primary to one school? That way I don't have to pay the $$$ for a comprehensive list? And then can I add schools to my primary afterwards? Just trying to figure out the smartest way to go about this process where I can potentially get off a waitlist and not waste thousands of dollars on sending my primary out to like 40 schools.

Thanks in advance for any advice stay strong WL warriors 💪

That's what I did. Submitted to one school and am waiting until the absolute latest I can to add the rest. If you don’t want to delay your reapp, make sure you add the other schools by June 27 which is when transmission of the primary begins to schools.

question - how realistic is it to get pulled off the WL after the school's CTE date? i'm really trying to hold onto some hope here 😭

It’s realistic, but nobody can tell u “how” realistic or give u percentages. That said, the probability decreases as summer continues to progress. So, yes, it is realistic and students do get in all the way up to the star of classes, but that doesn’t mean it is likely for most of the people still on WL

Some schools may also provide their students with an update if you email. Some schools are transparent while others are not. Umich has responded to student's emails about approximate WL movement and has told students in feedback appointments. Meanwhile, Wayne has refused to say anything about their WL. It really is entirely up to you if you want to ask, but I believe at this point in the cycle applicants deserve clarity and there is nothing to lose if you email and politely ask to start planning the next steps for your future.
 
Any insight on why there seems to be little WL movement this year? Currently sitting at WL at UCLA, UCSF, and Stanford (0 acceptances) but none of them seem to have had much movement… Im assuming that there needs to be movement at the T5/10/20 at this point to cascade into a spot opening at one of these schools. Does that seem likely or is it really just if someone decides not to matriculate at all this cycle at this point?

Edited to say CTE for UCLA was June 2nd and I think CTEs for UCSF/Stanford are in early July

Those schools have all historically taken students off the waitlist except Stanford. I’m not sure if we can say there is lower WL movement in general, but there is a trend at top programs (Umich for example has said they aren’t taking anyone off the WL this year and has asked students to defer their A as they overfilled their class).
As for future movement, there is always hope but is pretty unlikely as these top programs send out any A’s they still have early and since they’re top schools people usually take them. Could be a cascade but talking to a few ADCOMS things seemed settled for the upcoming year. Don’t know when CTE is for those programs but that would be around the last of the movement.
Pulling for you to get an A, I know what it’s like to interview at top places with no A and not receive love from lower tier programs for some reason.
