"High" Waitlist at TUCOM-MI

Very very good.

 

Hello congrats on being put on the high wait list, but I have to admit that reading this kinda scared me. TUCOM-MI is my TOP choice school and I sent out my primary applications pretty late and it was finally sent to the schools 11/17...
It kinda worries me that they are already waitlisting students....now i feel like I have no chance (i still havent received my secondary)

When were you complete at this school and when was your interview?

Thanks so much and good luck to you.

 

I had to decline my acceptance to Touro-MI -- hopefully this will help.

Oh yeah, I think Dr. Haight said that 30-35 people were accepted early decision at my interview on 9/26.

Good luck!

 

I had my interview on 11/1, and at that point, they had already granted acceptances to around 40-50 students. The previous poster is correct: 35 were Early Decision, so this year they said that they're on pace to get 4,000 applications for the remaining 100 spots. So, as of 11/1, there were about 50 spots left, and I'm sure about 10-20 got accepted out of my interview group, which found out 11/18. Doesn't sound very hopeful, but also keep in mind that they will accept more than they have seats for (they said about 180 or so). Keep the faith, and slay that interview!

 

I interviewed on 11/22 and Dr. Haight said that 35 students were early decision, which means that even if you didn't get in this year, as a high waitlister, you are almost a shoo-in for the EDP. We also specifically asked him about the waitlists and he said that last year was the first year he didn't get all the way through the high waitlist group but typically nearly everyone on high waitlist gets in sometime before term starts. Also at my interview, there were still more seats than interviewees, meaning that in theory, everyone could be accepted that interviews, but that phase is nearing the end, and the process will soon become much more competitive. The plus side to this is that TUCOM knows how many seats are left by only giving a 2 week window to accept or decline a spot and placing a hefty deposit (2G's) to gain more security in knowing who will be attending. I hope I get in!
