Waitlist Question

Hi everyone,

I have a couple questions about being on the waitlist. I have been accepted to other schools and paid my initial deposit to the school I plan on going to if I do not get accepted to my top choice (where I am currently on the waitlist). Most schools have said that waitlist movement won't start until late April, however all of my matriculation info needs to be submitted to the other school in the beginning of May. Should I start doing the titers, background check, etc. and just have the doctor fill out the paperwork for both schools so that I am prepared either way? Also, the schools require a matriculation agreement with the other things that are due in early May. Is this binding or can I send it in while still waiting for a response from other programs?

Thank you for your help!

Yes, make sure you are good to go at one school. Don't risk not attending because you are hoping to get off a waitlist.

I don't believe its binding. Movement day is May 15th.

AACOMAS Traffic Guidelines

AACOMAS notifies schools where students hold acceptances. Students who have more than one acceptance and haven’t turned down the others are at risk of having acceptances rescinded.

So most people have picked a school and know where they’re attending by May 15th. Except of course people accepted late.

So then what is the april 1st date mean?

Are you saying most people see WL movement on / after May 15th or between April 1st - May 15th
