2. BU
4. GW
4. Temple

6. Finch/CMS

No, don't rub your eyes, it's not that I can't count, but much like the USNews rankings, some schools are tied for me. That is because I haven't even had my last 3 interviews yet! But you can be sure I will keep this info updated for your viewing pleasure!

3) Umich

My list seems a little confusing, but Northwestern and Pritzker are tied for me right now. Pritzker is the only waitlist that I am actively pursuing.

Waitlisted: UMDNJ
Meharry
Still have interviews to go.

 

I'll participate but I don't want to numerically rank them since I'm just praying to get an acceptance anywhere.

Acceptances: None.

Waitlisted: Columbia, Emory, Tulane.

Waiting to hear from post-interview: NYU, Wash U, SUNY Downstate.

Just in the interest of knowing where I'll be going for sure before the summer, I would probably go to Wash U or NYU if they accept me without a waitlist.

The dean told me they have hardly taken people off that list in the last two years. I think they put people on it instead of rejecting them, because that's the way it's going to turn out anyway. I was told that I am in the middle of the waitlist. Unless you are top ten, I was told you better keep on truckin'.
It's a good school and I really wanted to attend there. I just interviewed with Howard, I am waiting to see how that goes.

 

Mellow,
Which Dean gave you this information ? I have met a number of currently enrolled students who got in off the waitlist. When did you interview, and when were you waitlisted ?
Many questions, I know......

The dean said in the past two yaers, the waitlist movement has been considerably slow. If they pluck off 20 people that would be a surprise. I've heard this from other people as well. Email him (dean Henrich) asking what your position is on the waitlist and what percentage of applicants are removed from the list in a typical year? He will reply within 24hrs....which is real cool. I interviewed late Jan, waitlisted late Feb/early March.

 

These are second year students. I 'll email Dean Heinrich.

 

Accepted:
4) Ohio State
5) GW

For those of you who are waiting. I just withdrew my application from U Mich and Tulane post-acceptance. So, there should be some minimal movement soon.

If UMich comes through I'm going...so I'll be giving up slots at SC and G-town. I'm ranked in the top 1/3 of the waitlist...supposedly it's made up of about 300 people this year. Anyone know about UMich movement?

 

Hey ccryder - Thanks for the early decision!

DukeGirlie- will you be giving up your UMich acceptance as well?

Take care all.

 

Darwin,

How did you find out your relative position within the list at Michigan? Did you call recently?

Thanks.

arggghhhhh!

 

I am waitlisted at:

~U. Michigan (seems to be a common link on this thread)
~Vanderbilt

I haven't heard from Rochester yet post-interview.

Michigan is far and away my top choice. I don't yet know my relative waitlist position, but I have a question about how they pull people off their waitlist. I think I've heard that within each tier, students aren't completely ranked, but they try to pull someone off the waitlist that fills the spot that someone who's been accepted has left behind. What I mean by this is that if they accept an out of state, male applicant, and that person chooses not to attend umich, then they will pull an out of state, male applicant from the waitlist. Do any of you know if this is correct?

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting...I hope we all get accepted by our first choice schools!

 

I'll play the waitlist game!

Accepted:
Tulane
Maryland

</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh, I think I misinterpreted their letter. It's been quite a while since I read it, and now that you mention it I think it DID sound more like an "on hold" or "acceptable but not right now" sort of thing, rather than an official waitlist. Sorry about that! I'm guessing I'm in the same category as you guys.

Jalbrekt,

Two things:
1) I dont understand how finding out where your position on the waitlist can move UMich from #3 of the places you want to go to #10. I think you are just assuming that you wont get it.

2) I dont think you should count yourself out just yet. I have a few reasons for believing this. First of all.... Michigan's numbers from the past show that they take about 350 people per year. I can imagine that that would mean about 180-200 from the waitlist. Also..... I think people will withdraw their position from the waitlist before May 15th.... improving the chances for people below them (especially people in the "top-third" who may have gotten in other top 10 schools and choose to matriculate elsewhere).

Michigan happens to be my top choice and I am waitlisted at this point too. Their waitlist numbers from the past look very promising for everyone on it. I dont think I am going to call because I cant take news like that over the phone.... I will be back in Michigan in mid-April and will ask in person.

good luck.
