@deejayy Thanks! I'll be starting in the Fall! I'm coming from Colorado so I wanted to have one more Summer at home.

I am on the alternate list at UK, is there is difference between that and a waitlist or do some schools just use a different term. Were you considered in-state?

I'm sure alternate and wait list are the same thing. I'm out-of-state but could file for in-state if I wanted to since I've lived in Kentucky for the past 4 years.

I hope so!! Trying not to get overly excited in case there is a difference 🙂
 
Anyone else declining at University of Kentucky? I am on the waitlist there and hoping to take someone's seat who decides to go elsewhere +pity+
 
Is anyone planning to decline at AT Still? I am also on the waitlist and am wondering if anyone is considering going elsewhere so that a seat may open up.
 
If your on a waitlist, is it worth calling just to follow up and ask how the waitlist works? I know it's self explanatory but maybe you'll get a better idea as to the schools method. I'm on 2 waitlists.

Most definitely. You spent hundreds of dollars applying to these schools. You have all the right to know where you are on the list and how it works. They should have no problems helping you.

Thanks for the feedback! I already contacted them in regards to the details of their waitlist ... just need a seat or two to open up and was wondering if anyone is even considering a different school.

If you don't mind, what did that conversation look like. I plan on calling a school I am waitlisted on, they said they do not rank so was thinking of appropriate ways to bring up whether I am near the top or bottom of the list. Thank you.
 
Declining at Touro U, Nevada, I've also heard from a friend who also got in he's declining as well. 2 spots should open up within the next week.

Walsh held interviews, which I was not invited to. However they emailed me a couple days ago requesting that I send them my academic update ASAP. (I haven't officially been rejected, and I think I'm somewhere in the mix). I'm not going to Walsh regardless anymore, so I should probably just withdraw my application.

Evansville emailed me 12/14 saying I'm on a wait list for an interview offer (almost the same situation as Walsh). Evansville already sent out their first round of interviews. Again, I most likely won't go here, and should withdraw my application as well.

Note: My brother interviewed at Walsh in October and was waitlisted for an admission offer, so I'm super confused as to what they're doing keeping people on a waitlist for more interviews haha. Another possibility: I could have been rejected from Walsh, and that academic update email was just sent to everyone who applied originally (did you receive it?).

Here's the email from Evansville:

Declining: Radford spot, Shenandoah interview, may decline Emory interview (love the program but still considering if worth the cost)

Congrats on Duke! What made you pick Duke over Northwestern?
Click to expand...
@Hopefulpt33 Thank you! It was a hard decision because northwestern has an amazing program and a focus on neuroscience and neurology which I'm really interested in! But for me it came down to the weather (can't stand wind and below zero temperatures), cost of living (Durham is way cheaper than Evanston or even Chicago), and clinical affiliations and Dukes focus on global outreach. Plus, Dukes tuition is a little cheaper than northwestern too!
 
I was just accepted to VCU's DPT program today and will be declining since I have already been accepted to another school which was my top choice. I hope this helps someone!
 
I declined interviews at shenandoah, missouri state and tennessee state and I declined an admissions offer at Mount St Joseph.
 
I declined NOVA Southeastern - Tampa
Withdrew myself from consideration for Walsh University
I will be attending Wingate University
