Hi Everyone,

I am hoping if any current and prospective international or Canadian students comment a bit about waiting for a waitlist response.

Currently I just had an interview invite at a MD school. With this late into the application cycle and basing on last year's application thread, I am mostly interviewing for a waitlist spot. Movement of waitlist can go from March till July.

I also has an offer from a very solid DO school which I am also interested in attending.

If I am able to be on the waitlist after interview, can we wait all the way till July for a response? Since I have to go back home and get my visa at least 1 month before orientation.

Thanks all for the help!

Also, remember you’re allowed to be on US soil a month before the starting date on your I20. If you have family here, it would be better to transfer the SEVIS in US soil so you won’t have any issue in the entry port.

That's actually a possible strategy, although I am not sure if this will cause any unpleasantness... Thanks for the suggestions
