Have any January interviewees gotten an A yet? I don't have a WL, hoping I didn't get an R.

Also interviewed January but haven’t received any emails today…

 

[microsoftdude3]

For those who interviewed for PRIME and regular geffen, did you get a separate admissions email for geffen?

Yes, I got separate emails decisions from PRIME and Geffen

Okay good to know! I assumed my PRIME WL was also for geffen, after you accepted your WL for PRIME, did your portal say it was for class of 2021 or is mine trippen lmao

Might be sending them in waves?

 

[Agent477]

Top of the WL today at 6 pm EST. Good luck everyone!

 

[Morningnight]

Thank you! Does anyone know if there is movement past the folks who have been told they’re at the top 🤔

Movement went past "top of WL" for last cycle and the cycle before, but it totally depends on how many students with As decide to matriculate here.

fwiw like the first 5-10 people that posted abt WL (without top of WL designation) all got in last yr, i'm a reapplicant and remember seeing tons of ppl get in during the first week of May so fingers crossed!

Yeah I have two "Admissions Decision" tabs on my portal, and my PRIME one says 2021 entering class lol

 

[siperbigbowl]

I checked my portal and found that I am waitlisted, but I did not receive an email! Check your portal guys there maybe news!

Where do you see that on your portal?

 

[siperbigbowl]

Next to the Interview tab, it popped up an Admission Decision tab, I clicked it, then it allows me to choose accept or decline waitlist

Damn, no such tab on my portal!

 

[siperbigbowl]

I’m sure they haven’t done sending out waitlists! There will be more coming!

 

[deleted1017183]

So what do we do about other acceptances if UCLA is our top choice and we’re on the waitlist until May (looks like that’s when movement is)?

You hold on to your second choice and when/if you get accepted to UCLA you can then choose them as your medical school.

 

[letmeinplease22]

man feeling not so good about WL does anyone know if ucla will take letter of interest or if there's anything to do at this point ??

 

[Enbious777]

Anecdotally from classmates, some got a straight A (no prior alt list or anything like that) in April around 2nd look time.

I’m wondering, we’re these classmates all in regular MD?

 

[amateurbater]

No waitlist, likely R. I’m starting to think medical schools found out who I was from my SDN.

 

[K0121]

+1 WL at 4 PST yesterday. Jan interview. Good luck everyone, fingers crossed!

 

[Morningnight]

Yes, from traditional DGSOM track.

 

[newolduser]

Have there been any January As (as in, those who interviewed in January) given at all this year so far?

 

[siperbigbowl]

What do you guys think of sending a letter of interest/intent? When ucla said multiple times they don’t consider it

 

[tinkertots23]

I wouldn't. Only makes you look like you can't follow directions or are too desperate. Only send those to schools that enjoy making students beg lol

*cough* Mayo *cough*

 

[kmistri]

So is there a pattern to this at all..? Like they've sent out their WL wave so now if you haven't heard back it's just R's?

Probably? Though I may be unrealistically hoping for one more round of As tomorrow or Friday....

 

[newolduser]

hello Thursday, my old friend

 

[ladoctora100]

For those waitlisted to PRIME, does it finally show on the CYMS tool on AMCAS?

 

[Maximus0703]

It shows up for regular MD

 

[ladoctora100]

It shows up for regular MD

okay cool thanks I interviewed for both programs but haven't heard back from Geffen so was just curious >.<

 

[deleted1154868]

Interested to see if WLs being sent out means no more As until May...

 

[tinkertots23]

Historically that seems to be the case. But who knows! I've heard of some people getting offers from WL in April

 

[kmistri]

i really don’t understand the pattern that dgsom is sending these decisions out - does that mean if you haven’t heard back you could get a straight A??

It was As on Thursdays at 3pm PST or Friday at 10am PST for awhile, but then they sent the WLs on Tuesday. For those who haven't yet heard back, it's probably an R, but there's still a chance for an A, I think, based on previous years threads.

I would think there are more WL's coming out since this Tuesday was the first WL wave, no?

 

[sshlee]

BTW, in case anybody in WL was unaware, we probably won't see any movement from the WL until May 1st according to their waitlist procedures that you can check out below.

https://students-residents.aamc.org/media/7056/download

Also according to their WL procedures, around 50 acceptance offers go out from ~150 WL positions.

+1 to WL from Tuesday 3/7 btw.

Wait, weren't you saying a few days ago that you were waitlisted?

 

[Linus_Van_Pelt]

Yes, waitlisted for PRIME, but accepted to Geffen 😊

[labrat__]

Contacted prime-La and they said all As and WLs have gone out 😭 and that Rs should be going out next week. How devastating 😭

 

[Jaylife]

I wonder if that’s the end for their scholarship offers

 

[xxcrepesxx]

mannn . do y'all think so? last year I saw that there were some calls the following Monday. but I might just be delusional
