Hey everyone! I decided to make a waitlist thread for this cycle.
Hey 👋 I wouldn't count this as WL yet, but yes in the same boat as you. I am also waiting on the same response from PCOM GA.1st year biomed with deferred decision following submission of 2nd trimester grades. Anyone else in the same boat?
If you're a biomed, I've heard that the next step will most likely be getting placed on the waitlist from the hold for grades1st year biomed with deferred decision following submission of 2nd trimester grades. Anyone else in the same boat?
Okay! I’ve seen some Biomed’s get accepted but I’ve also heard what you just mentioned tooIf you're a biomed, I've heard that the next step will most likely be getting placed on the waitlist from the hold for grades
Ooof I hope not. I’ve maintained a 3.6 thus far in the program so hopefully that’s enough to get the acceptanceIf you're a biomed, I've heard that the next step will most likely be getting placed on the waitlist from the hold for grades
No seats are saved for us.I'm a 1st year biomed and I am also on the WL. Maybe I am thinking about this the wrong way, but I thought that they set aside seats for biomed students? So when biomeds are WL, are we WL in regards to regular admission seats or biomed seats?
I have heard through the grape vine that Biomed students fill in the last available seats, so the school prioritizes their initial acceptances and then towards end of spring assess how many spots still need to be filled. I have no opinion on the way this is done, each school is entitled to run their admissions however they feel is best. Obviously it makes me more unsure now than ever that I will come off of the WL (assuming that's the decision I get once they review my 2nd term grades like they are currently doing). Trying to still keep my focus on the positives though. It's not over until its over!I'm a 1st year biomed and I am also on the WL.

No being put on the waitlist is an actual decision, delayed is them not being able to decide a terminal decision so they keep things open.Is the waitlist the same as a delayed decision?
When final deposits are due at schools for those holding multiple acceptances. Also some will get accepted off the waitlist at their first choice and will withdraw from PCOM so that seat will need to be filled. In the past there was a lot of movement on the list with the Committee having to meet to choose people off the waitlist. This year may be different as with everything else.anyone know typical waitlist movement for this school?
thank you. im praying theres more movement but will see! pcom is my top choice, but my interview experience was not the best.When final deposits are due at schools for those holding multiple acceptances.

This is just my take on the WL movement, but I feel that we might have less WL movement this year than last year. I have heard about students deferring their acceptances last year to this year due to the COVID pandemic that started last year. Then again, I really wish that PCOM had a ranking system on the WL so that I knew where I stand.When final deposits are due at schools for those holding multiple acceptances.

i wholeheartedly believe they rank candidates. there is no way they review everyone when slots open up, especially if the waitlist is large. just my two sense. i have no idea, though, just my opinion!This is just my take on the WL movement, but I feel that we might have less WL movement this year than last year.

not sure if you mean movement off? but i am waitlisted and not a biomed student from their program!anyone receive a WL decision yet not from their biomed program?
yes emailDo you guys know if the final decisions are also going to be sent by email?
If you are added to the WL, you'll receive a separate admissions update email stating that. If all you've received is the DD email, then still consider yourself as that.Can someone please verify what their waitlist email said? I received a "delayed decision". Is that the same as the email all of you received? Did your emails specifically say you were added to the waitlist?
probably notWill PCOM send out an email once the class is filled letting everyone know they are done interviewing?
congratulations!!!A $750 deposit has shown up in my portal, so I am guessing that is an acceptance!
Were you WL or delayed decision? Congrats!A $750 deposit has shown up in my portal, so I am guessing that is an acceptance!
Same, hopeful but not sure if it means much.A $750 deposit has shown up in my portal, so I am guessing that is an acceptance!
I was accepted to their GA campus earlier in April and yes I can confirm it means you are accepted and should be receiving an email today!Same, hopeful but not sure if it means much.

No, I did not! I had already been accepted elsewhere and so I just let myself ride the WL wave lolDid you send a letter of intent or any updates after being waitlisted?
