Is June 1st the date when ppl with an acceptance to a tx medical school are dropped from schools where they have been waitlisted? Or it is June 15th?
Thanks for any info regarding this.

The only thing that seems to consistently move is the date that that "waitlist movement will occur after."jbp100 said:Does anyone feel as though when calling a school and inquiring about waitlist movement, the person on the phone simply looks at the calendar and give an arbitrary time frame 2-3 weeks away?
Timeline of the WAITLIST:
February 1st: NO MATCH (suck)
February 2nd: WAITLIST (nm), told movement would accur around March 15th
March 15th: WAITLIST, told movement would occur May 15th
May 15th: WAITLIST, told movement would occur mid to late June.
Will the madness ever end?
I think it's June 15th for Texas schools.utopia said:Is June 1st the date when ppl with an acceptance to a tx medical school are dropped from schools where they have been waitlisted? Or it is June 15th?

UTKB said:basten0, you're forgetting all of the people who have acceptances but freak out for some reason or another and decide not to go, don't get financial aid lined up in time, or defer for another year. There will be some waitlist movement through the summer and up through the first week of classes. Yes, this means you might get a call a few days after classes start! It happens. We just might not be seeing the movement here on SDN and the schools are probably screwing with y'all just a bit. That's why you need to keep yourself "available" or whatever, just in case, but it's ok to move on and reapply or do whatever. I posted this before, but last year I got a call (after I lost all hope and reapplied and gotten a job) from Tech three days before classes started. The lady on the phone said that happens every year and they have to scramble to fill their class. There will be waitlist movement, and you just have to hope that it's you they call. Good luck.
sinephera said:IN case anyone is waiting for Galveston...I withdrew yesterday...It is a great school and I wish a lot of luck to the person who goes there.
Also I will be dropping UT Houston wait-list soon...
Good luck to all
OH...also...one advice call and e-mail a lot...I got myself off a waitlist three days after being placed on it...so forget your shy side.
If you got decent grades this semester send them in...and write to tell them that you sent them in.
basten0 said:I'm sorry but do you mean you withdrew your acceptance or your waitlist spot? (yea i can't read)
LostDoktor said:She withdrew her UTMB acceptance. I believe Sine is deciding between AECOM and NYU.
b-real said:So I was checking A&M match list page today, and I counted exactly 80 MD names and 1 MD/PhD. This is in contrast to a couple of months ago, when I think there were 87 MD and 4 MD/PhD. Can anyone verify the current count? Looks like any more drops from A&M will result in waitlist movement!
basten0 said:I can verify your observations. I think in early March I counted like 88 people and 3 or 4 MD/PHD. now there is indeed only 80 MDs and 1 MD/PhD. How big was last year's class at A&M? Anybody know?
lispha said:I emailed Dean Maldonado the other day and here's what he said about the waitlist:
The class is currently at exactly 80 which is our class size. I anticipate very little to no movement from our current class
So yeah...not looking good for those of us on the A&M waitlist

basten0 said:Is it just me or does there seem to be less waitlist movement this year.
txkiwieyes said:UT San Antonio has already pulled around 7 ppl off the waitlist...
unfortunately... I wasn't one of the 7. I'm thinkin' bout throwing in the towel already...
I'll wait until June 15th to see what happens...

DrateR | ****** said:Suppose I am waitlisted at two schools, school A and school B. I have ranked school A over school B. After June 15th, I get a call from school B, and I accept. I'm guessing I automatically get dropped from school A now since its post June 15th, right? If that's the case, it's first come first serve
basten0 said:HOLY GIZZARDS!!!! waitlist movement at Galveston!!! thats the last thing i was expecting. well actually the last thing i was expecting was me actually getting off one of these waitlists. what do y'all think? did galveston lose like 13 people or are they just taking people off the waitlist even though they're still at like 213 or something? DrateR, in referece to your question, your TMDSAS rankings have no effect anymore. they were only used for the match and after the match is over, they have no effect on anything. Thus if you don't hear from schools A and B by June 15th but then hear from both after June 15th, you can choose to go to which ever one you want to (i mean if this happens you'll probably hear from one before the other but you will not be dropped from any waitlists if you don't accept a spot before June 15th.). Good luck DrateR
wait, I'm confused. Did you get off the waitlist???basten0 said:HOLY GIZZARDS!!!! waitlist movement at Galveston!!! thats the last thing i was expecting. well actually the last thing i was expecting was me actually getting off one of these waitlists. what do y'all think? did galveston lose like 13 people or are they just taking people off the waitlist even though they're still at like 213 or something?

DrateR | ****** said:Don't know what to make out of the UTMB movement either..thehopeful said on june 4 that utmb told her they were over by 13 one or two weeks ago. So, it wouldve been 12 days for the movement to occur exactly two weeks ago from june 4 (chiefhotmango got called on June 2). That's a lot of ppl dropping out in that short of a time, especially when movement has been really slow since the match. Let's hope they arent oversubscribed anymore though!

Sorry, man. Well, it's not over 'till it's over.basten0 said:no no, I haven't gotten off of anything. I am just shocked there was waitlist movement at galveston. hoping to see more of the trickle down effect from southwestern paying off.
wdarli said:Hi everyone....I am currently at the pre-matric program for UTMB and they told us last week that they were given permission to expand the class size to 210. They also told us that they could call people up to the first day of class to fill to that number. Keep the faith........I bet there will be more movement!!! Good luck everyone

MadameLULU said:i have a feeling most of the TX schools (except Baylor) are slowly increasing enrollment. Last year, UTSW had close to 220 in the entering class. Good luck to all!!
Brain said:Has Baylor taken anyone off? If so, they don't seem to be posting here. Two days left.
basten0 said:Thanks wdarli. hey whats the pre-matric program like? where can i get more information on that? Good luck next week everyone.
Huh?basten0 said:Alright, so the texas schools have the rest of today, tomorrow and the day after to take whomever they want off of their current waitlist. has anybody heard anything?
