Planning on doing this next week if I don't hear anything.....the peace of mind will be a welcome change, whatever response I get.
*starts mcat practice exam*
Are you able to tell if UTRGV has had an OOS WL movement to this point? Thanks!
I recently completed an SMP and was really hoping to get an acceptance offer there due to my involvement and GPA. Since that didn't pan out, I had a quick question that's definitely best somewhere else, but it's the long weekend and maybe you all could use a poor soul to help here. I also spent half an hour reading through this thread and feel connected to you guys on a personal level lol.
Hi friends. I applied last cycle and am currently waitlisted at three IS schools... and despite everything, I still have no understanding of if I have even a remote chance of being accepted
I applied last year. I finished the SMP this year (3.47 undergrad, 4.0 grad, 509 MCAT). I know people warn against reapplying too soon, but I've spent the past year taking first-year medical school curriculum and excelling. I feel as though I am prepared to matriculate (this year, pls, but next year too). Can I reapply with the completed degree, a few new leadership/extracurricular activities under my belt, updated LORs... and be "judged differently", in a positive way, by medical schools? When do I give up on the WLs and press the button to reapply (I'd prepare while I wait, nonetheless)?
(sorry for the long post, long sentences, rambling, etc... future thank you's to anyone who can offer advice <3)

For the SMP, it is what most students are advised to do so that you can matriculate after graduation, especially into the medical school that hosts the SMP. We individually send grade updates throughout the year to where we apply/interview, and the administration also communicates actively with the schools and sends update letters for us if necessary.
If I see any, I post it here.
So schools can't see anything at all about your acceptances? Hypothetical situation, but what if someone were to turn down an acceptance and reapply the following year. Would schools no longer be able to see this information?
They take ~~54% of the students applying from the SMP.
Haha I'm a little peeved too. But wow, that's really sweet of you to say... thank you
fingers crossed for everyone!!!
All the people who were invited from WL have been IS (I can only see those who post on SDN).
Currently hiking half dome in Yosemite and yes there’s service up here! No acceptances but at least I’m outside. Keep up hoping people we’ll get out alive one way or another.
Congratulations!!! What a great way to start the week. What school?
When would you expect for movement to pick up again? Or is it pretty much done by this point
From now on, it will be intermittent.
Do you know anything of the "second wave" of WL acceptances that people mention? People said early june a lot of schools tend to send a larger quantity of offers. Has this been true in pervious years or have you not noticed any real difference?

I’m in that same position and got more interviews after I finished my SMP. They did however look over my classes thoroughly from what I was told to be sure they were up to par with what the school wants. I hope it helped. PM me if you have any questionsHi friends.

Does this happen to be a upper west coast school? I am in the top three at this point of a strictly ranked waitlist. I feel your pain! I am really hoping there is some more! Historically, if we are speaking of the same school, there has been a few trickles after this point (1-3 people).
In order for any waitlist movement to occur at a particular school, there must be depletion of the surplus acceptances. Once that happens, acceptances (either in packets or droplets) are offered.
I PM'd you 🙂 @Ballerinagirl thank you! It was an amazing day. And after I was getting serious about loans, housing and actually starting to picture myself at the other school. Smh. I'm thankful tho...100%
Tried to PM you, but could not. I was a second time applicant and got in off of the WL at an MD school. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
It's the least they can let us do. If we have virtually no control in the process at least let us yell into the silence with no consequences lol.
Agree but I’ve heard some schools look at that negatively and it can hurt you instead most likely if they told you not to
