I believe BU told its waitlist that todayWhich school if you don't mind me asking? I know we're waitlisted at one of the same schools so was curious...

Every time I hear of movement at Top Tier schools, I get renewed hope there will be movement at my schools.... although at this point I feel like my chances are worse than USA moving on from Group G this year
It ain't over until it's over!
This! EVERYONE should be ecstatic every time UCSF, Stanford, WashU, etc moves.Everything rolls downhill!
Just had abstracts accepted for conference presentation and publication in a supplemental issue. Now, to update the WL's or save for updates for this round of applications....
If you have updated lately I am not sure it will help much.
I only say something when things are published/presented, if I had a dollar for every time something that was accepted was delayed or otherwise had the something happen and it did not get published, I would have enough to take @gyngyn out to eat as a thank you for having to answer all our crazy questions.
OMG. This.
Seriously, the number of times I've had when I am pretty much done with a final draft of a manuscript after multiple cycles of review... and my PI is like "WAIT! HALT! We should really add this section... and this analysis... or this experiment... because it would make the paper sooooo much stronger." I'm just like![]()
You're talking about med school chances right?! Hahaha
Is it slow as in movement will come soon, or slow as in not much movement this year?story of my life..i suspect it's some kind of 'trusting undergrad is especially hard!' thing.
anyway, i wonder why the waitlist movement is esp. slow this year...
I guess we could ask @gyngyn if this is turning out to be a bad year for waitlists, or too early to tell?story of my life..i suspect it's some kind of 'trusting undergrad is especially hard!' thing.

Happened to me in graduate school and after I graduated. Had everything from book chapters pulled, actual books pulled, not to mention actual journals.
I am still waiting on something to be published that I submitted... oh... like 2008 or something. It's been in press that long.
I'm trying to be optimistic haha. Last year I rotted in WL hell until the bitter end. I'm hoping to get off a wait list this year reaaaaaaaaaallly bad. I keep checking my phone today but I forgot it's Saturday
A book chapter pulled has to be brutal, you are already waiting forever on them anyway. I submitted one Jan 2013 and its finally getting published this August. Waiting since 2008 is bonkers.
Waitlisted at 2 md schools and accepted to a do school. I am really torn between reapplying or looking forward to going the do path, but I guess it's too late now to think up a new ps and new activities to reapply this year.
Be lucky you have the option.
How many DO schools have you applied to each time? It stinks that you couldn't even have the DO option you seem really persistent 🙁

I am in a situation where I have been accepted to an MD school & am on the ranked waitlist for another. I would really love to go the ranked waitlist school but after being placed on the waitlist in April, I haven't heard a single thing. I need to start committing for housing, transportation, etc for the school where I've been accepted, but would 99% go to the other school if they called me in the next few weeks. I've sent one combined update/"letter of intent" (that no one on at admissions acknowledged) , and I know that I had a really strong interview at this school (my stats don't match up to their averages though).
Should I send one last gasp letter to this school, basically for peace of mind in the future that I gave it my best shot, or just wait it out? I'm just debating this and would like some opinions on what to do.

Can you tell if this is just a slow start or if wait list movement in general will be less this year?Super duper slow mo.
The beginning is the catalyst of the process. Not much where I'm sitting.Can you tell if this is just a slow start or if wait list movement in general will be less this year?
Figures. . . . . 😡The beginning is the catalyst of the process. Not much where I'm sitting.
I applied to one the first time and then never again because at the DO interview I was told that because I was transgender (and thus am not male nor female) and DO schools need a balanced class for OMM that DO schools cannot accept me. I have never had so much disrespect in my life as that interview. Never.
So...would winning a regional hackathon / programming competition be noteworthy enough for an update letter? 😛
Is this true?!!! I am truly OUTRAGED if it is. Please tell me which state that school is located. I would be FURIOUS if that happened me or someone I know. Please, report this to someone. The department of education would love to hear this.I applied to one the first time and then never again because at the DO interview I was told that because I was transgender (and thus am not male nor female) and DO schools need a balanced class for OMM that DO schools cannot accept me.

You are brave everyday by being who you truly are. Please muster up the courage to report this because this discrimination will continue if you don't speak up.
I was recently rejected at a school where I was on the top 3rd of the WL.
They were having so little movement that they made another much much much shorter WL.
Super duper slow mo.
I did report it! No one gave a rat's behind.
It was in Georgia which should explain it. I also told my physicians (DOs!) who were pissed on my behalf.
Is there any reason why schools can't tell us where we are ranked on the wait list? I am on two wait lists that are ranked. However, they will not say where you are on the wait list. I think it would be helpful for all of us if we knew where we stood on the wait list. It is just very stressful hoping to be pulled off when you don't even know where you are. If I knew where I was, I would be able to only focus on the next cycle and have a a realistic picture of my chances of getting taken off the wait list.
