I found that if you click on that "Groups" tab on the left after you log in, you can follow that link and then get into your NYIT gmail account as well. Hopefully they'll fix all of this soon though so you won't have to use such a roundabout method.

I did it by just opening a new tab and going to gmail. You cant see anything but those 3 buttons either?

Good solution! Yea I can only see those three buttons too!

Any movement off the waitlist for anyone?

 

[Valkyrie927]

Was accepted to a school that is a better fit for me, so I will be withdrawing from NYCOM. Goodbye $1500 deposit. Good luck everyone!

Congratulations! It seems that you got an offer from an MD school.

Getting to be just about that time when the waitlist starts to move. Im hoping for the best.

What makes you say this is when the waitlist moves?

 

[Dimatchka]

Exactly I thought it will begin next month.

I'm basing this claim on the last 2 or 3 years' threads. The waitlist seems to start to move around 6/15 and slows dramatically after 7/15. We can't be certain of anything though seeing as they have moved up orientation by about 2 weeks from previous years. I guess I could just be overzealous. Do you guys have different information and if so what is the source?

I agree with you. The movement of waitlist always starts after June 15th.

I heard in the interview that there is usually a good amount of waitlist movement. Hoping that is just as true this year!

 

[Connollyr]

I believe this is the case. There were a few years over the past decade where they overfilled the class resulting in very little waitlist activity. These years seem to be few and far between. Based on the numbers I have managed to come across it seems like the odds are in our favor even at this pount.

Really hoping theres a lot of movement this cycle and soon! Would love to enjoy the few weeks of summer we have before starting school! There have been a couple of years where there has been little to no movement 🙁. Praying thats not the case this year!

 

[kj8210]

Has anyone tried calling to see if there is any status on waitlist movement? Is the waitlist ranked at all?

 

[charmed22]

i called last week. they said no movement as of yet. and they told me the wait list is not ranked

 

[kj8210]

I see. Man I hope theres alot of movement!!

Just curious...what numbers have you come across that point to the odds being in our favor?

 

[Dimatchka]

Does the admission call or send email? Or is it all snail mail?

2006 us news report... to old to be of real value.

From previous threads, they call you the day they send out your snailmail acceptance package if you get off the waitlist.

Anyone hear yet? This was the week last year.

 

[Dimatchka]

Not yet

I called the admissions office this morning. They said there hasn't been any movement on the WL yet.
(Interviewed: 2/19 WL: 3/2)

 

[MedHopeful3]

Have not heard anything either. This wait is brutal.

 

[DrD0]

Anyone else withdraw recently or is planning on withdrawing?

That's what I'm hoping🙂

 

[charmed22]

called admissions today. said there was no movement as of yet. i asked if they foresee any movement and she said yes!.....the most promising phone call i've had so far

That's great news! Hopefully movement occurs very soon!

Another week almost gone by..I wonder what's taking them so long..?

Tis best not to question the mighty lords of admissions lest they strike you down thusly! (Swings arms wildly)

 

[MedHopeful3]

At this point, I'm guessing we aren't going to be hearing back until after the July 4th holiday 🙁

That seems right to me. Unless they have been meeting this past week I doubt we will hear anything for a while.

 

[tjrocks91]

I'm surprised that the waitlist hasn't moved yet, according to "charmed22".

 

[Connollyr]

Not a peep yet huh? Getting a little sad🙁

 

[shinymk36]

So I just called in and the person told me that they haven't been seeing any movement and that they don't predict seeing movement anytime soon. He said people are holding on to their seats.

 

[Dimatchka]

That's not good

[kairu]

I have just called in also and they said there hasnt been any movement and does not know if there will be. The the final piece of information is that aug 4th is the last day for getting off the waitlist.

Well at least there is an end.

 

[MedHopeful3]

Thats not good at all 🙁. Who did you guys speak to?

 

[DrD0]

I find it really hard to believe that not even ONE spot has opened up at this point. A couple of accepted students have withdrawn their acceptances in this thread alone. It seems that almost every other school has seen some sort of movement.

 

[shinymk36]

It could be that they've accepted more than the class size.

 

[Connollyr]

Exactly that happened in two previous classes that I've seen on SDN.
