can i ask what your stats were? and undergrad institution?
Alternate at COMP. I see alot of postings about movement on waitlists in the allo forum. How much movement is expected in the osteo schools? My guess is not nearly as much with most schools requiring a 2G deposit. Although I have had friends come off of waitlists at allo schools and give up their osteo spot.

I graduated from Southern Utah University with a B.S. degree in Athletic Training 3.8 GPA (3.65 Science), but my MCAT wasn't so good (19Q). Plus I applied late, but I was part of the last interview group and made the waitlist. I'm kinda expecting to reapply, and retake the MCAT in August, but holding on to the hope that I'll be pulled off. Here's to hoping!
Are you in the same situation?

I just got an email back from Jean Downing from LECOM-Erie Admissions. She said that there has been a little movement from the waitlist, but not very much yet. So unfortunately at this point, the outlook isn't nearly as sunny as I first thought it would be when I was first selected as an alternate 🙁 If anyone does hear anything, let me know, please! Good luck, everyone!
