I doubt it. Let's just all try to relax till Tuesday.
I think so based on the posts of the school specific thread; check it out!

Yeah but only one person has gotten off the waitlist. No movement since then
I'm afraid we don't have much overlap with SJB, so even if there had been movement I'm unlikely to have seen it.
Another day, Another Week, but same old empty gmail...
Yupp I feel you. It's a painful wait
Same. All the threads are quiet too.
Just saw that NYMC started to move.
Another waitlist that I won't be pulled from.

...Promotions! Turn that frown upside down.
I checked mine today and in addition to no waitlist movement all the promotions and memorial day sales flooding my inbox are OVER.
So...any movement that's going to happen at top ten schools has probably already happened, right? Losing hope for my top choice..

Interesting. Maybe I won't give up just yet.
Good news for all waitlists.
Congrats! Where at!
Nice! That's fantastic congrats!
I'll take a look later today.
Congratulations pDeluxe!!!
Is it in bad taste to call a school and ask about your position on the wait list?
No.
I did it last week. I've been sitting on their waitlist for 7 months now, the least they can do is entertain a phone call about my position.
It doesn't help. Right now everyone is calling and unless it's a ranked list there is no answer. If there is a ranked list they often have a policy to reveal or not and will be unlikely to give info if they haven't done so by now.

According to their admissions Facebook page, they have started handing out offers today
k, thanks guys.
I got off the wait list at WashU, and I know there was a lot of movement. In the facebook group about 5-10 people chimed in that they had been offered a spot or accepted a spot in the last two weeks.
Keep hope alive everyone!
Anyone hear anything about Western Michigan University? The school specific thread has been pretty silent, except for one person who got off of the wait list after the 15th.
I don't have anything moving at Tulane.
All the action is U of Illinois!
Some movement at Miami, Case and UC Florida.
Hopefully UIC still has spots to fill 🙁
I don't know why, but even with schools I didn't apply to I get stoked when they start moving. I guess it's just cool knowing that people are getting in.
Also, movement at other places can lead to movement at places we're waiting for if accepted applicants get into their higher choices.
Yea, I definitely understand that, and while that is nice too that's not really what I meant. Just think it's cool for people. The application process is so stressful its nice to see the good side of it.
I would be happy just to hear that there is some sort of waitlist movement at the schools I am waitlisted at (aka Temple and Penn State). But I'm almost done with my 2015 AMCAS just in case. 🙂
Congrats to everyone who recently received an acceptance and good luck to those still waiting! It's tough, but we'll all get through it.

I never understood how unranked waitlist works. Do they randomly call applicants or do they still base their acceptance from their application and stats?
They will draw waitlist applicants that fill any unmet needs in the class that have developed as a result of attrition.
I think that while there's no numerical rank, they group people on the waitlist based on stats and EC's and the rest of the app and then when someone withdraws, they pull from the group that was similar to the applicant who withdrew.
Another difference may be that schools with unranked waitlists are open to updates and therefore may be willing to re-evaluate your application. For example all of the schools where I am on an unranked waitlist have explicitly stated that they welcome updates, while the school where I am on a ranked waitlist asks that we send them no further information.
I am interested in this as well. Does anyone have an info? @gyngyn have you seen any movement?

No help. We seem to have little applicant overlap with Western Michigan. I can't say I've seen someone we've interviewed accepted there yet.
Bye bye waitlist! Accepted to UC!
Congratulations to the "off-the-waiting-list-admitteds"!! Are admission offers for those on waiting list sent via phone call or email only?
