TUCOM-CA Waitlist for Class of 2018

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I withdrew from Touro after getting pulled off the waitlist at another school. I hope it goes to one of you guys!! Best of luck all of you!

It will be so random if he meant business days...So it's gona be next week then?
Anyway I think they work half day only on Friday and it's past 2pm now and still nothing... (sigh
 
If you guys don't mind me asking, what are your stats?
Anything on your application that red flags the schools to waitlist you?
Out of state?

interviewed in Feb, Mcat 29, 3.6s, 3.7cum, local in vallejo, like 10 min drive form the school...and that's one reason I REALLY wanna get in TOURO it's just SOO close (so no rent problem... that saves alot)
 
c&sGPA 3.3, MCAT 27. Was told it was probably my MCAT that got me high wait listed instead of accepted. In state, local. If I do get accepted, I will be withdrawing. Committing to TUNCOM.

why not just withdraw if you aren't going to go (as requested in the first update email)?

Because I just made up my mind the other day and I want to have everything set for TUN before I withdraw...just in case

I forgot about the 3pm Friday thing...I need to keep that in mind so I can unglue my phone from my hip! Maybe this week there will be some movement! :bow:
 
Still trying to stay positive but starting to think maybe they had the class all filled already....
It seems like the admission standard really moved up a lot since the last few years for Touro and now it feels like the school really just want ppl with high MCAT score.... I guess being in the sf bay just make the school popular

I m kina to the point wishing to just get a straight up "no" answer so I can just stop freaking out everytime my phone rings or when I see emails coming in during their business hour.....
It will be much easier if i can see how many seats left and how many ppl in front of me in waitlist so I can just figure my chance(and maybe just simple give up this cycle) instead of just waiting and waiting.. :boom:

I completely agree...I am on SDN and my gmail account CONSTANTLY during business hours....it totally sucks. I feel you. :xf:
 
Hang in there guys. One of my friends got accepted to UCLA two days after class started last cycle. There is hope. Keep submitting your update letters and showing interest. He submitted 3 of them before he got word. I can feel your frustration in waiting. It can literally drive you nuts. Do something to help your application instead of waiting around. I sent a thank you letter addressing the question I didn't think I gave the best answer to during the interview and got a reply from Dr. G the very next day. Accepted 3 days later.

No offense, but as someone who was never on the waitlist, I'm not sure you DO understand...this comes across as pretty rude in my opinion...what am I supposed to do to "help" my application? I've been on the waitlist for a month and school starts in a month, I sent a letter of intent and a new rec, but beyond that its pretty out of my control at this point. Thanks for the sympathy, but I don't think your advice quite applies here...
 
Wow, that was rude on your part. Cool it Dr. House. Jiji said she can "feel your frustration." Jiji may not be in your shoes but she was trying to be helpful. There's no need to take out your frustration on someone else and shut down a friendly comment.

Besides, you have already been accepted to medical school. You should be more appreciative of your circumstances and that includes the supportive people on this forum. Enjoy your time off before school starts rather than spending it checking your email and sdn.

I'm sorry if that sounded offensive. It is really difficult to convey tone (especially when typing on a phone keyboard). I was only empathizing with everyone here. I should have mentioned I'm on three waitlists, including at a school I've had my heart sent on for ten years. I've sent 4 update letters to that school and was moved from low waitlist to the high waitlist. I may not be in the exact same situation, but I did feel for all of you and am glad we all have each other. I am extremely thankful for my acceptances and am glad I have the opportunity to pursue my passions and my dream, and I wish that everyone here has the receives the same opportunity soon.

Hmmm... thinks for your advice but since I don't really have anything to update for my application, all I can do is wait for the miracle and prepare for the next cycle.
Anyway the whole waitlist thing is frustrating from the beginning to me (sure same for everyone else) . I guess the best thing to do for me now is just improve whatever that was not good enough about my application and go for the next.

Re-taking the MCAT in a month anyway, a better score will never hurt, right? 🙂

BTW I did email the school to update my contact info last week and the office replied my email in like less than 10 min. So it seems like if they DO have good news, the notice will come fast.
Finger crossed... >_<

I do appreciate the people in this forum, this was JiJi's first time here and clearly I didn't understand her situation. For someone who thought my post was rude, your quip at the end was a little uncalledfor. But I respect your opinion and btw am extremely grateful for my acceptance. Obviously this school still means something to me so please try to be sensitive to that.

Thanks, I know it can be difficult! Thanks for elaborating and apologies if my post came off the same way.

They are so quick! Which is nice! And yes, it's pretty much a waiting game now...Fingers still crossed for all of us here!
 
Last year another update came this week...so maybe we will hear something soon. Starting to agree that they are looking for high MCAT and high MCAT only. 🙁
 
Yes, but people with high Mcats do get acceptance to other schools as well
 
Any 30+ mcat applicants get waitlisted here this past cycle?
 
I have a 31 but I am med waitlisted (3.29cgpa 3.12sgpa). I doubt there is hope for me this cycle lol
 
Here comes the second email update...... He did mention that low and medium waitlisted are basically done for this cycle.
It seems like they did give out all the offers again and just waiting to see anyone turning down the offer at this time
Did anyone email them recently and get any info back?

And also, did anyone withdraw the waitlist??

I withdrew from the high waitlist.
 
Just withdrew as well...coming from the east coast it would have been impossible to get there at this point. Bitter sweet for sure though. Best of luck to those who are going for the early acceptance spots! 😀
