So far I've gathered that most MD waitlists start moving in early June, due to the May 15th deadline. Does this mean D.O. waitlists will start moving in July, after the MD spots are all more or less set?



Has anyone gotten in off waitlists so far for 2013? Seems like its been slow.

Theirs no set deadline at D.O. schools for holding acceptances like M.D. schools.Theirs is May15th, in which the majority of people accepted to D.O. school who get accepted off waitlist at other schools drop their acceptance. It can go throughout the summer. I interviewed late in the cycle and got pulled off waitlist early may after a couple weeks on the waitlist. A couple people I interviewed with were pulled off the same day as well. It can go up until the first week of classes I've heard.
