They'll probably look at how many spots they have left after the last acceptance group pays their deposits and then start at the top of the waitlist. Just my guess at how this all works 🙄
Someone else will have to weigh in here...I honestly don't know the difference between a delayed decision and being waitlisted, I thought they were essentially the same thing
Gotcha! That would make me believe that delayed decisions would be decided before moving to the waitlist, so the adcom might be meeting to make decisions on them now or in the coming weeks.
me. I havent heard anything from any school that I've applied to except rejections (for MD) and silence from DO. kinda freaking out
The silence from MD's was annoying. The silence from DO's is confusing. I really thought I had a good app for the ones I applied to, but they won't even respond to e-mails...
I agree. I am waitlisted for a MD and haven't heard back after the interview from another MD school. Rejected from most DO's still waiting on PCOM. I do not understand..
I started something new in October, and am now starting another activity (both volunteering, one clinical, one not). The first will have a handful of hours, and the second will have... less, but it still allows you to show 'growth'. One frustrating thing with AACOMAS vs AMCAS is that AMCAS allows 'expected hours' whereas AACOMAS requires 'completed hours'. Less leeway, but even if I have 2 dozen hours at a new organization, it shows them where I'm going...
Email is best so it gets there the fastest. All emails sent to the admissions email address have to be checked because that is where accepted students would send an email letting the adcom know if they are withdrawing their acceptance. They don't have time to reply to every email but they undoubtedly will get it.
They are pretty specific about what they take, transcripts and scores. If you interview and you probably send a followup but if you haven't interviewed probably a waste of time. Think they are just about done with everything at this point.
