That's awesome! Yeah UF was my dream school until about a month ago when I found out they accept 98% in state students and only 2% out of state students. They're 2nd to only East Carolina in terms of not accepting OOS students, East Carolina accepts 100% instate and no OOS students haha. Now Temple and LECOM are the schools im aiming for, my in state schools.

So is Tuesday the day that we get notified if we got a spot (if we're on the wait list) or could it take longer than that? I have to register for my summer classes soon and I need to know whether or not I should register.

The website says that's the day they'll start accepting people from the waitlist, so not sure if it'll be all at once or some people at a time...

If anybody is waiting on the waitlist for Texas or Rutgers, the site is full. I know some people who applied and said the site was full.

Congrats!!! Just curious, are you truly an Underrepresented Minority? Your high GPA is stellar, but I know the program wants more than that in terms of demographics. Just curious to know how you got in with a 3.9...I know someone with a 4.0 GPA who didnt get into any of the three choices.

I would register for your classes since from what I know, getting off the waitlist is slim. Usually, most schools give you a refund if you drop early enough so I would just secure a spot in the class if it was possible.

I applied to UT and mine said site full for a few hours then I was bumped to the waitlist. I think it depends on your own application. If any site is full as of now, it will most likely be updated tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about your friend... It might be due a collection of things such as GPA, Recommendation letters, and essays..
 
Hi! I got into my top 3 but I chose UF because I'm from NY. I'm medical. If you guys make a groupchat please add me.

For my waitlisted people, please do NOT give up hope!! Keep pushing! I was waitlisted to the program last year for Columbia (top choice) and ended up never getting accepted after reading that their site was full. This year, I reapplied and got waitlisted to two programs, yet still was not accepted to Columbia. It was hard to pick myself back up after this year's (and last year's) decisions. This past weekend, I was even beginning to make alternative plans for this summer if things hadn't turned out right. But afterall, I got accepted to the program that had waitlisted me (Rutgers). I even got in with over 60 credits! So please, dont give up hope! Even though some may not have been accepted, there are such grand opportunities like these, waiting for you in the near future (sooner than you think!).

Thanks for this! Still waiting! (UF)
 
Just curious, did last year's admission cycle give an option to choose 3 program sites? I remember just being given one option to choose as a program. It seems like this year they started giving three options.

I was accepted in UF for medical, but declined the offer because I got into a Duke Summer Program. I hope they give you my spot bro!

Tips for Future Applicants:

- get your application done ASAP. Some spots were taken months before the deadline. I found this to be the most frustrating fact.

- if you see “site is full,” it’s not the end of the line just yet. I was shown that for one program and then after a few hours, I was moved to the waitlist.

-if you get waitlisted, call and email program coordinators and make sure they know your name and that you’re still interested. Tell them why you fit this program’s meaning.

-if you have many accomplishments, don’t fret. I had a 4.0 GPA with lots of experience, and I was still considered and wasn’t totally rejected from my sites immediately.

My status for UT went from site full, to waitlist, and to accepted. Don’t give up hope, do your best. It’s possible!

My stats:

4.0 GPA, 1 LOR from a researcher who was my professor, outstanding ECs, and prior health experience as a licensed nurse.

Good luck.

did the status just change to accepted or did they email you ? congrats !!!
 
Columbia told me that they would email individuals off the waitlist so nobody was cut short if too many people were offered a position. It was my status on AAMC that showed UT accepted me from the waitlist.
