They do and don't rely on tier of waitlist. My understanding is when someone withdraws an A, they try to match the demographics of the next applicant they pull from the waitlist. So if the only waitlisted applicant who approximately matches demographics is mid-tier, then a mid-tier waitlist gets pulled before a high-tier waitlist, but if a high-tier waitlist matches demographics too then they will be pulled first.

I actually find this very comforting lol. It feels good to know what the process is like and where I potentially stand. Thank you.

Are they still going to accept people off of the March interviews or is it more just to interview people for the waitlist?

from last years data, there were a handful of people interviewed in April/May that were eventually accepted. using that as an estimate, I would say there is still a chance for those interviewing in March this season.

There were 16 people on SDN last year that reported a "WL" in March/April/May. Only 2 of those people were accepted. However, 3 others were accepted in April/May/June that did not report when they received their WL or when they were interviewed.

Is the info session required? Has anyone gotten an A without attending the Wednesday session?

Not at all required. Heard from a couple people that were accepted did not attend, and did just fine on interviews.

Would recommend attending if you can, as it does give some nice info about the school, how it operates, its history, and goals. 100% recommend staying after to talk to students, if you can, as that was the most informative about how the school would be for you in the future.

Any tips for the interview? I saw that there are some MMI style/ethical questions, is that true? Other than those, is it typical med school interview questions?
 
Hey guys. I am in-state applicant to EVMS. Gave interview in mid-October. Received my WL decision in mid-November (top tier). I sent an update letter and also a letter of intent by now--still haven't heard anything. What are my chances at this point?

OOS A off of the mid-tier waitlist at 430pm. Really was not expecting this, and might actually go here

Is it a bad sign to have been on the waitlist since ~November with no news? Seems like people who interviewed later are already getting off, so I'm wondering if it's a lost cause for those of us who have been waiting since the fall
 
I also just recently got off the WL here. I am OOS. My timeline was:

Primary 7-5, secondary 8-31, Interview 1-12, WL 2-8 (top tier), accepted 3-22

I did not send them an update letter or attend the Wednesday informational session

Hey! Has anyone heard back from the Feb interview dates? It’s been 7+ weeks since my interview so not sure if I should reach out since I haven’t heard anything and they said 4-6 weeks? Also do they call or email with an A? TIA and hope you all are hanging in there :)

No idea if you should call for an update or not, but they email for both the WL and the A (at least I didn’t get a call).

Good luck!!!

Congrats on your acceptance to the other school! If you don’t mind, when was your interview with EVMS?
 
Dang so looks like it’s all just WLs now. Do you guys think their class is full and the last bunch of interviews were just so they have more people on the WL incase people decline?
