@dope.uh.mean when did you interview? I have a sneaking suspicion the class size change didn’t happen until late 23 early 24…I’ll investigate and get back to everyone

Yeah class size change didn’t happen until around the last two months of 2023

Did you send an LOI email? And did you already have another acceptance that you’d PTE’d?

Yes, I did on 4/30. And yes, I did!

I was told they had to WL more people than they expected because it was a very recent change

Did they make it seem like there would be more movement?

I'm sorry, I wasn't told anything else besides the fact that the class size change was recent

Dang a lot of the accepted people for todays movement must not be on SDN 🥺

 

[yourgfgf]

Dang a lot of the accepted people for todays movement must not be on SDN 🥺

Im also thinking they over enrolled for the new class size so I think anyone post November May not have a shot at all this year :/

 

[Semsemrocks]

Maybe there weren’t that many people? I hope so at least lol. This thread doesn’t have nearly as many people as other threads reporting on sdn in general so it’s difficult to gauge

Nooo did you come to this conclusion during your investigation?

 

[yourgfgf]

investigation is ongoing -- these are just my slightly uninformed musings. I'm trying to see if my mentor can get the scoop for us...fingers crossed!

I don’t think so. They seem to have been very measured with the number of offers

Yall I just got the A call this morning!!!!!!!!!!! OFF THE WAITLIST

 

[DonquixoteDoffy]

Yall I just got the A call this morning!!!!!!!!!!! OFF THE WAITLIST

congrats!!!

 

[lianabanana22]

were you able to fill out the additional form? when I click the hyperlink in the YouSC portal it just redirects me back to the landing page - not sure if anyone else is running into this issue

Hiii! What is the additional form that you're getting an email about? I haven't received any emails about financial aid or are you newly admitted? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything

 

[Emh_omega-323]

Yall I just got the A call this morning!!!!!!!!!!! OFF THE WAITLIST

Congrats!! When did you interview/when did you receive the WL decision initially?

 

[ThyAmbitionsToRest]

I interviewed late September! I got waitlisted end of March

 

[Emh_omega-323]

Holy cow they kept you waiting so long. You deserve it just for not literally losing your mind waiting 5 months for an answer

 

[DonquixoteDoffy]

any idea of how many accepted off AL? Trying to decide if I should start my re-app

Theres 106 in the fb group now, so hopefully there'll be more movement. Definitely prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Prepare to reapply and just submit one school if you still don't hear back by June so that your AMCAS could process your transcript and buy you more time. If you still don't hear back by the end of June, prepare to fully dive into the 2024-2025 app cycle. But I hope you can get off the WL!! This is an incredibly frustrating process ://

Did you have any other acceptances that you'd PTE'd?

 

[ThyAmbitionsToRest]

Nope, I was sitting on 4 waitlists. This was my first for the cycle

 

[Semsemrocks]

I aspire to be like you

 

[runningoncoffee]

I'm running into this issue as well, just contacted the Financial Aid Office and can update here if I get a response!

They just replied and we should be able to access it now! Fingers crossed for more WL movement for those of us still waiting

 

[DonquixoteDoffy]

anyone heard recently or is it back to just Thursdays and Fridays?

 

[medschoolplsaccept]

Not sure, but FB and groupme numbers are going up so I'm stressing

 

[Semsemrocks]

Not sure, but FB and groupme numbers are going up so I'm stressing

By how much

 

[medschoolplsaccept]

By how much

Like 9 in the fb from its lowest

 

[HeyBabyBoy72]

Wonder if waitlist movement is going to be on Thursdays as well! 🥸

 

[Semsemrocks]

Idk but I’m trying my hardest to manifest a call

 

[medschoolplsaccept]

Anyone wanna take one for the team and inquire about movement?

 

[Semsemrocks]

dean called me this morning @ 9:30 am asking me if I wanted a spot because “I might have a spot opening up tonight.” Haven’t heard back all day lmao

edit: am on the WL since Feb

Can you let her know I want it?

Damn so the class is full and WL movement when people drop... I-

 

[DonquixoteDoffy]

 

[medschoolplsaccept]

update she called me, i was in an area with no cell service for literally 2 mins on my drive home. got an email from her saying she’ll call me on monday

Are you accepting the spot?

 

[DonquixoteDoffy]

nah it’s for y’all I’m gonna email her tonight

 

[DonquixoteDoffy]

okay kinda dumb question but does anyone know how they select candidates off the AL? It says based off need but what does that mean? Diversity? High stats to boost the class?

I’m assuming they find someone similar to who dropped their spot. So for example, if a 25 year old middle eastern male interested in neuroscience and from Southern California drops his seat, then they’d try to find someone with similar interests/diversity/location, etc.

 

[DonquixoteDoffy]

ah makes sense, thank you

Do we think there will be more movement? Or should I just start crying now lol

 

[Semsemrocks]

I’ve kind of already accepted defeat

 

[DonquixoteDoffy]

I’ve kind of already accepted defeat

I’m getting there too lol, anyone email to find out if there’s more expected?

 

[Semsemrocks]

I can email them

 

[DonquixoteDoffy]

I can email them

you’re a real one

 

[Semsemrocks]

you’re a real one

Just sent it so I’ll let you know when I hear back!

 

[DonquixoteDoffy]

i imagine they’re close to filled if they aren’t already, but maybe some of us will get lucky or even get deferred acceptances

 

[Emh_omega-323]

Wooohooo! Got the call from Dr. Arias that I'm up next if I want it and she expects another spot soon!!! All the happy dancing!
