Do you know how many were pulled off the waitlist last year? How many are on the waitlist this year? And if they offer all those waitlisted deferments for next year -if they want them?
Though I have been accepted at another school, there are a couple who are waitlisted at several schools, so a deferment is as good as in because then they could take a year off and play!
it would be greatttt if anybody had this info!
p.s.- welcome back dr. inviz!
I would love to be the newbie who enters med school 2 days behind, all knowing the amount of material already covered just to spite you.
That is simply pathetic. If anything, it should be the 1st day of class as the final cut-off. Totally disorganized, this school is.

I actually dont know how the waitlist is looking this year besides the fact that biomeds are probably on the top of the waitlist (don't know how many). From what I've heard, last year's waitlist had minimal movement. Sorry, maybe someone else has more concrete info on this. I've not heard of any waitlist deferments for next yr either. They might just advice waitlisters to enter thier biomed program for a yr...I know they did this last year!
P.S--marciah---well put . Its tough to start med school 2 days later than everyone...but I would do it in a heartbeat if it was my top choice.
My interviewers said I would be accepted or deferred -but I'm not sure if this is true or not.
did you contact your interviewers recently by email or phone? or did they say this to you on interview day?
Dr. I ,
All schools have that situation, someone drops out or gets pulled to their top choice suddenly leaving a spot open. The school then needs to make the decision, do we let that one spot go to waste (which will have a trickle down effect all the way to the patients) or do we see if there is someone will to catch up. Really if the class is good, they will find a way to help them out.
As an example, many moons ago Georgetown lost a student becuase on the first day of anatomy, they fainted, hit their head on the table, and realized they couldn't do it. Wala, second day of classes new student was willing to take their spot.
I am not sure what your beef is with PCOM-GA specifically, but considering they are new,etc I think they are doing the best they can to do right by the students and be fair.
I can't even begin to tell you some of the stories I have heard or experienced myself with adminstrations of other schools.
Just my 2 Cents. take it or leave it.
I agree...every school has/had this situation at some point. It's a normal part of any organization that has to rely on "expected attendance"
DCOM, the school I hope to attend, and the school Inviz is supposedly attending this fall, even says that it will pull people from the alternate list "through the first week of August, 2007"....funny thing is, classes start August 1, 2007 at DCOM.
Now why is it that Inviz would choose to attend a school that is willing to accept students after classes had already started? After all, clearly the school is unorganized if it has such a policy?
The answer is clear why Inviz is attending DCOM, and why he posts the things he does: his hypocrisy knows no bounds.

congrats!!!!!
are you a biomed student?
I finally got accepted today!!!! Good luck to all those still waiting.
congrats!!!!!
are you a biomed student?
Thanks! Yes, I am currently a biomed student. Only 3 more weeks to go!!! By the way, thanks for answering the question for me Dr I.
I think there are somewhere around 3-5 biomeds still on the waitlist. I'm not really sure. I know that some have been rejected already.

Get over yourself Ms. biomed ...
Are they getting rejected of the waitlist?
I figure once the biomeds get pulled off the waitlist, they will dip into the other waitlist...
Thanks for answering so fast!
I think a few were rejected, not waitlisted to begin with. There are still a few biomeds waitlisted. I agree with you. I think there will be more movement from the waitlist this year. Good luck! Would love to have you in Atlanta. Are you still planning on going to DCOM?
