For those who were waitlisted, how long does it take to hear back (if at all)? For reference, I interviewed 11/8 and got my WL decision in mid-December.
 
IS II received earlier this month, will be interviewing soon!

i got an interview invite for this wednesday like 2 hours ago, i responded as soon as i saw it but I got a response to that saying that "The spot is now filled, but we will add you to a future invitation list."

has anyone experienced this for this school? im worried now that this means there might be a chance i wont be interviewed at all but idk i might be reading too much into it

This is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen this cycle. Having applicants fight over a first come first served interview invitation is wild!

Yes, they move very quickly for interview spots

Bruh this is a violation. My man, this is one of the few SDN posts I legitimately laughed at....good times

For any of y'all WLers, does an update make a difference with moving you up on the list? Does it move the needle at all?

I believe they mentioned at the zoom conference that WL "ranking" is purely based on statistics. However, I believe sending an update/LOI is only going to improve your odds of getting an A.

Statistics as in our interview score? Also, which zoom conference was this at? The interview itself?

Also, I saw your earlier post from the 22-23 cycle. Just curious if you know if they take mid tiered WLers before top tiered ones? Seems like not all top tier WLers got an A yet some mid tier ones did. Maybe it's a lack of reporting

Just got a WL mid tier. Im OOS URM. Does anyone know how the WL moves for out of staters?

Edit:
I personally think this interview went bad for me. I left not feeling happy about my performance. Honestly not expecting much.

When should I send an update letter, should I send it with my email asking about my WL tier or like a week after?

Statistics as in MCAT and GPA if I remember correctly.

Zoom conference is referring to the Wednesday meeting before your interview with the Assistant Vice Dean of Admissions and Enrollment (AE) and the EVMS Community Members. I believe they hold them every week, so you don't necessarily need to attend the one from the same week as your interview.

They do not accept top tier waitlists first. The tier is just based on your MCAT and GPA, and does not consider your interview nor application as a whole nor your fit to EVMS directly. I know one student who was top tier last season and never accepted, but after receiving "mid tier" this season they were accepted.

Anecdotally (it was tough to quantify IS vs OOS acceptance rates), people tend to say OOS have better chances of WL movement. Don't lose hope yet! WL movement is the cornerstone of EVMS' incoming class, and many "mid tier" students eventually get the A.

EVMS gotta be unique with their waitlist structure, don't they

They'll pull a quick one on you, even if you get top tier

Jk jk
 
IS II this morning

For anyone that scheduled interviews, can you confirm they don't give email confirmation for scheduled interview? They only give some emails 1 week prior to interview?

Also any advice from accepted applicants? What does EVMS really look for?

Congrats!
You're correct, no email confirmation, but they give you a reminder email one week before the interview.

For prep, look at the SDN page for EVMS and read up on ethics: Ethics in Medicine | UW Department of Bioethics & Humanities. You should be familiar with every point on that website.

EVMS has a complete virtual tour on their website.

My other son is already in med school. I learned a lot off of this website from the posts and my son didn't participate and felt that I should return the favor if I had some useable information. Is there a problem with that?
