Hey guys, just a heads up, Dr. Engman just emailed me letting me know that Northwestern is going to make a couple more offers next week. I'll be withdrawing, but best of luck to you guys!

And sternum17, did we happen to have a long discussion about planes and conveyor belts on facebook? 😵

I think you might have the wrong person? Or maybe I'm forgetful. I do like planes and conveyor belts, though.

EDIT: Wait! Yes we did! I forgot about that.

It varies from person to person. I'd rather go to the States, but I know people who prefer to stay in Canada. I also don't think there's any reason to believe the MSTP waitlist would move faster than the MD waitlist. It might move faster, but I doubt it would have much to do with the fact that it's an MSTP waitlist. Apparently the Wash U waitlist likely won't move until May. Anyway, from what I have heard, waitlists are chaotic things - they behave differently every year, and there's pretty much no way to predict them. In your case, I guess I would be patient for a little longer, and as the deadlines for your PhD programs approach, contact the various directors again.

Also, whom are you contacting at Wash U? If you email Brian Sullivan, the coordinator, I find he's incredibly helpful and responsive.

Thanks for the information, sternum17!

I think I'll wait until mid-April. If I'm not off the waitlist of Northwestern, I'm going to commit to WashU PhD program for a summer rotation.

Fingers crossed for both of us!!

I got my acceptance yesterday, actually, so the waitlist is starting to move. Best of luck!

Congrats!! I'm so happy for you.
I guess that mean I'm moving a spot forward on the waitlist. 🙂
