Waitlist 2015

I've been waitlisted at both Tufts and NYUCD and I do not have any acceptances this cycle. At this point, do I have a decent shot at getting off one of these waitlists? I have read several threads on SDN that say NYUCD's waitlist tends to have substantial movement, but that the Tufts waitlist is unpredictable.

Anyone in a similar position? Advice on what my next steps should be? Thank you in advance!

No way to know without knowing your stat.

Sorry, I didn't post them because both schools say they have unranked waitlists.
cGPA 3.3, sGPA 3.1, DAT AA and TS are both 20
Waitlisted one month ago

I hope so too, they said it should start moving this week!

When were you waitlisted?

Your chances are not great. Work on improving your GPA and/or DAT for the next cycle.

Interviewed march 20; wait listed march 31

I know it hasn't been too long but it's still killing me

Awesome hopefully we both hear good news ASAP!

OPs DAT is fine. Maybe enroll in a master's to show you are able to handle grad level courses.

It's a fine score, but not a great score. Since his GPA is a bit low, he would need a great score to get into schools like NYU and Tufts.

Thanks, I think that's a good idea! I'm almost done with a year of post-bacc science classes (25 hrs, 3.7+ GPA) since I graduated in May 2014, but I'm running out of undergrad science classes to take.

You're right. It's not great, especially with my GPA :/
I wasn't expecting to get interviews, but I figured since I've jumped that hurdle, maybe I still have a fair shot off at least one waitlist?

I have been accepted off another schools wait list and will be passing up my spot at NYUCD. Im sure there are plenty of others like myself. Hang in there.

Thank you for the words of encouragement, @yeslek88 🙂
Congratulations on your acceptance!
