Ok here is my thought process about this- the committee always only meets on Fridays. The last batch of decisions went out April 28th and those students have 2 weeks to decide. 2 weeks post April 28th falls into the week of May 12th, which is the week of May 15th- meaning the committee is meeting on the earliest Friday they can after they have finalized numbers of open seats after this last batch of decisions went out. I think the "if" is just terms they have to use to not give false hope or promise that students are going to then freak out about and use against them.
In that case I’d guess either the 19th or the 21st would be the next A wave, they tend to like Tuesdays and Thursdays. This is torture

How is everyone on the St. Luke’s waitlist feeling? I offered my kidney and part of my liver to the ADCOM gods to manifest waitlist movement this week 🙏
 
well i think it did move it’s just super underreported based on med admit and they’re in no rush bc it seems everyone is waitlisted post interview
This is the worst part, especially for St. Luke’s and their 40 seats. Most people apply there with local ties and I feel like there’s hardly any movement for that specific campus.

I know this is the wrong forum but I’m in a similar situation for tufts Maine track. Only 40 seats + ppl with local ties apply. The tufts forum is dead so I came over to sympathize w you. I have no clue what WL movement will look like/if it will even happen 🙁
 
Also wouldn't be surprised if it's after the 15th- that's the date applicants need to commit to one school on CYMS. They'll have a good idea of how many spots to offer then.
 
This is probably bc they meet on fridays and temple med had their graduation last friday
I’m confused, someone on admit called and was told that St. Luke’s has had no WL movement, yet on here and admit people reported St Luke’s WL -> A…

Also repeated that they are meeting this Friday to review WL
 
St Luke's A yesterday evening! I sent a letter of intent late April and an additional letter of req soon after being waitlisted.
Could you also share if the admissions office confirmed the receipt of the letter of intent and the new letter of req? How did you submit the new letter of req? In the process of doing that as well but I wasn’t sure if I should just have my writer send it directly to the admissions office?

yea both of them to the portal- they confirmed receipt of letter of intent but that was bc I emailed them about it. Have your writer send it to you and then you just upload it to your portal. My writer did an official letterhead like they were mailing it in and I uploaded it.

Wait I’m still stressed and hopefully waiting for an A… but just curious- are there any individuals who might possibly decline their A after they get the financial information? Like there are individuals who have other schools lined up too and are just waiting on the financial info?

Ugh it kills me that some schools release financial info extremely late. With so many CTE deadlines steadily approaching, I imagine some people can’t wait for financial aid info?
