But
So really were talking 1/9th's:danesh23 said:
- Top Priority = 1/9-3/9
- Medium Priority = 4/9-6/9
- Bottom = Still Nevermind

So are you saying that you now think you are in the top 1/2 of the 4/9th's section...which is really 7/18th's? 😕
I Vote for the Metric System! 👍
sailingdoc said:Okay,

So the top part (say 1/2) of 1/3 would really be 1/6. Right?

wow...ur funny .... i hope to see you in MUO...lol.... ya im in 7/18th... which wasnt reached last year.... BUT there are differences between the out of state waitlist and instate...so anything can happen... im waiting on 3 other waitlists... MUO is not exactly my first choice due to location but the school is awesome honestly... it has the most aesthetically pleasing buildings and really great residency placement... only things i find as deterants is the city of toledo although i am not much party person anyhow and the lack of females at the school...i dunno about you but i am not really fond of being in an all-male environment... BUT I would still love to go there
To those who have been accepted outright or got in off the waitlist (or I guess anyone else who knows for sure)--
How were you notified? Did you get an email or phone call, or did the glorious big packet just show up one day?

All i know is that the email I received which said i was in the "top priority" group said that in years past this group was accepted and that if thing went the same this year...i had a high chance of acceptance...
So i dont get the middle of the top third theory...i dont think it makes sense...that would be very very little movement off the waitlist and kind of misleading to me as the student receiving the email.

Where's the handful of people who were accepted off the waitlist - can you please post some information? It doesn't seem that very many MUO folks are on studentdoctor.net.....I would really like to hear from them as well. Did they get notified via e-mail, snail mail, etc. Are they accepting? Still on other waitlists? Let's get some dialogue going here! 🙂

Dialogue? I 'heart' dialogue.
So are you really a wife? Or are you looking for an MBA to marry? Chances are, you won't find one here; however, I'm an AMD and available 😉
😍
FYI, AMD = "Almost" MD
BTW, the A in AMD should really be a lower case to de-emphasize it. But trust me, everything else is UPPER case!
well...thats what the woman on the phone who I called told me about the middle third of the top priority last year.... I am hoping that good years skip and we will get one where everyone gets off the waitlist...only time will tell
I know this is an MUO thread, but on a similar topic, anyone on the wait list at Wright State. Or heard anything about it?
when i called the admissions office yesterday I asked if they split up the three tiers (upper, middle, lower) into additional thirds and i was emphatically told that they do not. i even mentioned that i saw something on student doctor that someone found out that they were on the upper third of the middle tier (danesh) but they still said they didn't do that. i don't believe it was a case of them not wanting to tell me since they didn't even ask for my name or any other identifying info. so it seems that they might have been misleading somebody or the lady i got at the admissions office just didn't know what was going on. all in all, i'm pretty confused. 😕 anybody else know of their place within their tier?
I called as well and spoke to a very kind lady. She informed me that there was no subdivisions within the 3 tiers we were emailed. So I guess maybe danesh misunderstood or was told something incorrect....all in all...lets get that waitlist moving so even the lower teir can get in!
sailingdoc said:
Yes, my husband is going through the application process now, so I am the wife, and I already have my MBA. It really isn't a good screen name, but I was trying to convey that I am not the applicant, but rather the wife, and secondly that I don't know much about the med school thing as I am business minded person....but I guess still stressed out as much as you guys regarding what my future holds or where this entire adventure will lead us. My husband and I are sailors and your name caught my attention as "sailing doc". We are coming back to MI for the Port Huron to Mac Race..not sure if you are racing.
ABC321 said:
Personally, I asked about about sections within sections and was told no as well. So bring it danesh, what else you got!
However, in the defense of danesh, (because I am a 'fair and balanced' kind of guy) if you look at the posting from last year's waitlist...people apparently were given VERY specific info:
http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=200338&highlight=mco
😕
So where does the truth lie? or is it lay?
mbawife said:
That's a shame since, I can be ALL business too...And I give pretty good back rubs to relieve that stress. I was a reflexologist moonlighting as a masseuse before going for the AMD thing.
I'll PM you my digits just in case your husband checks this thread! 😉
danesh23 said:
Roger. However, those ten don't seem to be cool enough to post on this thread or SDN at all?...WTF! Hosers...all of them, eh?!
ruglazier said:
Are you instate or OOS? Also, what's your sign? I have a 'theory' that if you are an OOS Pisces, I am next on the list!
Regardless, where should we send the 6-pack of Rolling Rock...once withdrawl is confirmed?
I sent the -thanks but no thanks- email today, I hope you guys get in , it really is a nice school but my waitlist moved for me.sailingdoc said:
Sorry the cosmos dictate that I am OOS Gemini, However you can send the Brews to Yale
ruglazier said:
That interstate alcohol trafficking may be an issue, but I will promise to work on it...I have Connecticut connections!
Incidentally, for those of you still in the student lifestyle for years to come...Rolling Rock is GREAT. You can easily peel off the labels and with a have way decent printer you can easily turn that six pack of W. PA's best into a fresh Dutch Delight: HEINEKEN
BECOMES
Hey, just wondering why you never called me or responded to my PM? We're all adults here...mbawife said:
danesh23 said:
I'm going to check back next week. With Rutabega turning their nose up and going to Yale, there should be a spot or two open.
Anybody wonder why there is not more 'action' on this thread from people waiting or turning down MUO. Are there many who are just lurking in the shadows? OR are they just web/SDN inept?
ABC321 said:
WTF! That's the 1/9th again...Hello! Not that difficult!
Where' the MOVEMENT?
i visited the campus and they said there was a few OOS that dropped their spots, but overall its kind of slow. im not going to hold my breath for anything
danesh23 said:
WTF? At this point my movement may be right past Toledo and to the Caribbean as well!
Touchdown said:
Has anyone gotten any love this week from MUO?
Is vacation for the staff over yet?
ABC321 said:
They are back now. During a visit, I heard that more spots were anticipated to open up. However, no info on how far they have gotten through the top portion of the list.
I got the phone call a few minutes ago.
Boo-yah!
Toledo this fall.
Anyone else?
Boo-yah!

Anyone else?
Karl_Hungus said:
Did they also notify you by email or just the phone call?
danesh23 said:
I was on the "high priority" section. I honestly don't know any more than that, I never heard a relative rank, or where I fell within that section.
I never heard mention of the list being in "ninths" as others have suggested.
I was contacted via phone call.
