Here is the information I got from the director of admissions which was reiterated to me last week when I called:

-Right now there has been no movement on the waitlist
-CCOM is actually above their quota by one or two people; meaning that more people have accepted their invitation then they usually take
-However, this should decline as more MD schools will have waitlist movement and this will trickle down into the DO schools.
-I've been told to wait till mid June for any news

Thanks shttthttle!
Has anyone heard anything from CCOM lately?

Yeah, I have some more news for everyone...the CCOM waitlist is moving. There was movement for the first time this past week. Good luck everyone!

I just called them today about the waitlist. She was VERY vague. She could not tell me how many people were on the list. She said there was some movement. She could not tell me how much though.
Do you think it helps your chances if you call often? I don't think so b/c they never take your name. Is there anything else anyone is doing to keep their file in forefront? I mean I wrote a letter of intent but is there anything else I can do?
I hope we hear something soon & NOT in September!

Thanks ewhitmore for sharing your information. I don't know what else I should do either besides sending LOI. Maybe update my current picture since I have lost a few pounds? 😀

Hey guys,

I called the admissions office yesterday and received a conflicting answer regarding the waitlist. When I asked if there had been any waitlist movement, the attendant said that there wasn't any movement yet but would move soon, possibly nextweek. So weird. Did anyone get the similar answer this week?

Ultra...thats crazy, I'll let you know if I find anything out...I just wish they would give us a ranked list...ahhh!!

yesterday i tried the "i'm gonna be out of the country for the next three weeks, so please tell me my status" shtick, but they just told me to write them an email with the exact dates i'd be gone and what i wanted to do if i were to come off the waitlist. maybe if i word the email just right they'll see how much i want to go there and just accept me before i go?

I think the picture thing is a good idea! Maybe I should do it to! LOL! 😛
As for me I am going to keep hoping that I am taken off by August. After that I will have gone crazy!

Any news?

mdage, congrats on your acceptance to a med school! 🙂 Will you be withdrawing from the CCOM waitlist?

 

[shttthttle]

Wow, I'll tell you what...I never thought waiting would be this frusterating. I definitely would have suspected that one of us sdn'ers would have gotten off the list by now. I think every time I see a new post on this thread I assume someone has gotten off...hopefully we will all be meeting up in Downer's Grove at the end of August. Until then I will continue you my restless wait...to all you newcomers -- APPLY EARLY!

Thank you so much for your post because I feel the same way. I expected to see some movement by now too. It would be nice if the admission office was little more straightforward to the waitlistees. I had a talk with someone in the office and it was not all that helpful. She stressed that the list would be active still in August, until the end of the summer. I have no idea what that means...whether she was commenting on my chances or their expectation on the movement...etc.

None for me. 🙁
I think I saw someone recently say on the 2010 thread that they just got in. That happened about 1 week ago.
