Anything yet?

I called. The lady told me that they won't start taking people off until late May/early June. We need to wait "for a couple of weeks". 🙁

I just did the same thing. These Baylor ppl are killing me!

 

[halo1570]

I figured people wouldn't start hearing until today, but I never thought we'd have to wait another week and a half.

Us TX residents that have already been accepted elsewhere only have until June 15th to hear. Jeez, throw me a freakin' bone here...

yeah, dean micheal told me he hasn't had to go to the WL yet...

 

[ROOwala06]

I dont know if this has already been addressed, but does Baylor waitlist everyone not accepted? I didnt find an answer to this but I was wondering what everyone thought.

 

[FryingPan]

yeah, dean micheal told me he hasn't had to go to the WL yet...

When/How did you ask him about that? Did he say anything about how much they overaccepted by? Just wondering how much hope there is... 🙂

Seriously, its worse when you are going out of the country and have to go ahead and plan to attend one med school while still possibly waiting until june 15 to hear.

Oh yeah, apparently i get back the day or two before Baylor starts...however, It wouldn't be that much of a problem to come back early. 😀 😀

I believe there were some people that were rejected...however, i could just be trying to make myself feel better. Honestly though, beats me

I don't remember seeing anyone said that they were flat out rejected....

At least everyone that I've talked to are waitlisted. Though I don't even know if I should care any more. I'm trying to buy a place in Dallas, but didn't want to make an offer in case I get into Baylor. If I wait any longer I'm pretty sure someone else is gonna take my dream condo away from me. I hate waiting!!!!

This is the problem i'm having as well. Whats worse is that i'm leaving the country at the beginning of next week for a couple of weeks. I hoping it may bite me in the butt, but i'm going ahead and signing up for my apartment in galveston. Its better than waiting until june 15 to try and find a place. If all else fails, i'll just break it and then find a new place in houston.

Oh well, just roll with the punches i guess.

I'm thinking along the same line so I'm gonna make an offer for that condo. It would just hurt to have to waste 2 grand (Ernest money) should Baylor decide to accept me. Oh well, life's not perfect.

So you're doing that tour after all. I envy you! Are you going with friends or by yourself?

Well, what you can think about doing with the condo, if possible is go ahead and sign the lease application but see if you start the actual lease later....like fill it out now, but don't start the least until...say aug. 1. That's what i'm doing (i also don't really have any choice because i'm also on a waitlist for an apartment opening up...which should hopefully happen soon after all the MSIV get the hell out). But we'll see

Yeah, I'm leaving on monday...its just gonna be me and my madre...its crazy trying to finish up all these things, not including me still working (which in retrospect was a bad idea to keep working this late before my trip). But i'm just ready to get out of the country and spend some weeks in some R&R...perhaps the last one i'll get for a while. 👍 👍 👍

Yeah, I can do that, except I'm buying and not leasing. People are buying condos in Dallas like they're giving it out for free. I was actually gonna buy another condo. 3 days after it was on the market, it went under contract. That's some quick decision. This condo I'm looking to buy is really the best fit for me. So, I'm gonna go for it.

Never know, you might still have time to travel during Summer of MS I. Have fun, though.

I'm starting to get a little edgy with this Baylor wait...I just want someone to get the call.

I look at these waitlist acceptance threads and see the big-name schools with movement. Surely, if the Yales of the world are having movement that BCM should also. Can a jump to #10 really make that big of a difference in the waitlist movement?

Maybe I am just oblivious to the truth.

 

[houstoncfh]

I haven't heard any movement on the UTSW front either, and I'd have to imagine there would at least be movement at one of the schools...

This is so ridiculous...I can't beleive the ADCOM is waiting THIS LONG to accept waitlisted applicants...I know for sure that some people have rejected them...What is taking them so long?

All the people at baylor seem to say it'll take another week at least til they go to the WL...hope it's sooner, but not expecting anything til at least next week and into June...

UTSW waitlist movement started today. Since it seems to be "late May" now, here's to hoping movement starts soon at BCM...

allright, u guyz think the WL will start next week or in june??? how many ppl typically get in off the WL???

good luck to everyone!

 

[JabsterL]

hey, what do y'all think of my chances - i'm OOS, so not sure if that'll hurt or may actually help (cuz of the "no TX residents who are already in someplace accepted after june 15 rule")...when does orientation start, and when does baylor STOP turning to the WL for good (June, July, or August?)...do y'all think or know that people still get accepted off the WL in August? Does BCM reject people or does everyone go to the WL?

thanks!

Baylor school year starts in mid-July, so no, you won't get accepted in August.

I heard that TX residents make up like 80% of the entering class. It seems like they prefer accepting in-state people because most of the in-state people will not reject their offer.

No one has reported being rejected post-interview, so apparently most, if not all, people go to the WL 🙁

Good luck to all of us on the waitlist!

hehe, trust me baylor's not one of the school's thats worried about their acceptees matriculating

the reason they offer 70% slot to instaters is cause of the deal they made with the state of texas where by accepting 70% instate they get $280mill. every other year

[BaylorGuy]

so is it safe to assume that no one has heard anything about the waitlist???


Nothing over here

yeah, really, wonder when they start?
u know, they really drag it out as much as possible because they don't start goin to the WL til june, lots of people wait and get in in July, and much, much more people just remain on the WL without ever being rejected...what a tease...

Well, what i think is bothering most of the people who are waiting to hear off of the waitlist is the little June 15 rule. You know, the one concerning those in Texas whereby you can either only hold 1 acceptance or 1 waitlist in the state of texas by that date.

I dont know...maybe i'm totally off, but i'm hoping that something happens before then. If not, then oh well...i'm happy with where i'm planning on going now. GL all

 

[potato51]

Wow, two weeks from the deadline and they still haven't notified waitlist folks? Not only that, but y'all will need financial aid info too, no? Good luck to you guys, this must suck.

 

[ThaJewelofPR]

Yeah this really does suck; I am beginning to lose faith...

Its gotta be the two weeks thing....and yah i'm starting to lose faith as well.

When I got my wait list letter, I knew other people who received letters that were rejection letters. I don't get the feeling that many people were rejected who interviewed, but a few did. Good luck!

Bump again

 

[baysouth]

I was told by an admissions office staffer that the waitlist will start moving by the end of this week or next week most likely. Just wanted to let you guys know.

 

[SteelBlue]

What is the whole June 16th thing? I’m WL at BCM, but have an acceptance to another TX school. I’m going to be out of the country from June 7 - June 22 on holiday. Should I get accepted to BCM, do I need to do something with my other spot by June 16? (i.e. call/email/post the other school with an official decline word) I need to know how vigilant I should be about checking email and phone messages while gone and having someone check my postal mail…

Thanks guys!

HAHAHA. Good to know that it WILL move, although I feel pretty much hopeless and is trying hard not to think about waitlists. Thx for the useful info though.

Alright... I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

7 days....

To be accepted, or not to be accepted: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous waitlists
Or take LOIs against the AdComs of troubles
And by opposing end them? To matriculate; to wait,
No more......
To be accepted, perchance to dream, ay there's the rub
For in that fickle med school what dreams may come.

(I have waaaayy too much time on my hands at work this morning.)

Okay guys, I just thought I should let everyone know...A few weeks ago my PI suggested that I write emails to the ADCOM and remind them about myself and my continued interest in Baylor. I did, and then forgot all about it. I just got an email yesterday (Friday) from a woman on the ADCOM. She told me that they already have a full roster and they barely had to use the waitlist this year. She said thank you and she hopes that I choose a great med school. I guess that means they are officially done...(unless they haven't finished calling some of you they might have decided to accept off the waitlist [obviously not me])...I guess the new ranking really affected how many people accepted/declined this year! Good luck to all!

wow Jewel, that's insane. Every year I always hear of someone I know getting off the waitlist. Maybe the new rankings plus tuition issues really persuaded people to stay at BCM. Or maybe BCM is enrolling more in-state students this year.

Thanks for letting us know- although it sucks none of us SDN waitlisters got in, at least now we can move on and get excited about the schools we are accepted at. Best of luck to everybody!!!

I'm so disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful I got into UTSW and I'm excited about going there - I'd just rather stay in Houston. 🙁
That's it, I'm going out!

You said it...I'm pretty sure everyone who has been lately posting on this thread is pretty happy and excited with where they will be going...I know I am. But yeah, I'd rather stay in/near downtown Houston as well...oh well, no big loss on my part, or anybody else's hopefully.

 

[GoodEats]

I know there's several of you waiting, and I hope this hits one of you: I pulled out for WashU, so that's at least one spot that will open up! Good luck hitting the jackpot!

Any recent information causing this post?

I just withdrew. Good luck to you all!

 

[tismfu]

Any recent information causing this post?

June 15th is the date that applicants can't hold more than one acceptance to Texas schools and in turn the institutions agree not to offer a spot to any student already holding a position at another in-state school.

(I think I got that right, but if it needs some correction feel free to jump in.)

 

[Hassler]

What if I'm holding an acceptance at a school not in Texas? Am I still alive, even though the chances might be <0.01%?

 

[tismfu]

Yep, you're still alive:

After June 15, the TMDSAS participating medical schools will make no offers of acceptance to individuals already holding a place in the entering class of any other medical school in Texas [emphasis mine].

[karirunner]

Grrrrr.....you are still alive....just keep hoping for the lovely dean to give you a call. RIP my hope for Baylor- hurrah for UT-Houston Class of 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!
