Does this mean any additional acceptances will be off the WL?

Was the only interview I had this cycle so definitely stings a little harder but I appreciate you so much.. we don’t even know each other but the camaraderie I’ve felt from this thread is unmatched.. just goes to show with your message so again I thank you and can’t wait for all of us to be physicians! Sat in my **** for about an hour and a half and then opened up my mcat books for a retake to be more competitive. Might have lost the battle but the war wages on haha! Best of luck to you too!!

Best of luck with your MCAT retake. You can also email Ms Reid and go over your application and what you lacked so you can make it even stronger for the next time you apply

Not sure if this is allowed, but if any admitted student (up to 3) need housing close to UNC campus, please DM me!

I’m wondering how many people would get off the waitlist. Since there is 220 spots this year, my guess is maybe 20-30 people get off the waitlist. I don’t know how different this year’s cycle is to past year’s cycles for people to have multiple acceptances and withdraw from UNC.

I think in 2021 66 people got off the waitlist. According to the 2023 data 72 got off the waitlist. So movement is going to happen BUT I don't know how many people are on the waitlist right now. if theres around 300 then thats less than a 25% chance of coming off.

I also noticed in years past, they loaded up the waitlist due to concerns of COVID. This cycle should definitely be completely different; I don’t think there’s 300 people on the waitlist but I could be wrong…

yeah I agree. I personally knew like 8 people on the waitlist during COVID and none of them came off of it.
 
ECU waitlists 100-150 students so we can assume UNC is waitlisting 200-250?

April 30th. Also UNC only initially accepts their class size and then accepts the rest from the waitlist, I got this information with someone who works with admissions. Also, the acceptance data is public so I just subtracted the class size from the accepted and that's how I got the numbers.

I see, so are we thinking there will be more movement than previous years due to class size increase?
 
It seems like a lot more people are on the waitlist this year compared to previous years, that doesn’t necessarily mean more waitlist movement for those of us on it though. So probably 30-50 will get pulled off out of the almost 300 that are on there. These are all just spitball numbers
 
Wow do they really waitlist almost 300 applicants? That’s so many 😵‍💫

My assumption is they have sent out approximately 215 offers (to fill the “class size”) and there will likely be around 65 offers off the waitlist based on previous years’ acceptance data. Assuming they will give out around 280 As this year (based on the offer to matriculant ratios).

65 also seems consistent with the data from 2022 (66) and 2023 (72), conservative even

It's at 180, but I assume there are lot who were accepted that do not use facebook.

I was thinking that the people who didn't join it might be considering other options and might be waiting until April 30th. Everyone has a facebook. April 30th needs to hurry up lol.

Do you think they might start accepting off the waitlist after April 15? Since that’s the initial narrow down deadline. (I realize post-April 30 will probably lead to the most offers, though.)

Does anyone know when scholarship determinations are typically made/ what the turnaround time is after submitting the scholarship application?

Received a call this morning about receiving a scholarship. I wasnt able to answer, so thats all the info I have right now. Submitted the app maybe a month ago? Accepted in December.

EDIT: UNC called back and offered a full tuition scholarship. Shocked and incredibly grateful.
