I know its getting close to March 15th, do we think they still have a few last-minute interview invites to hand out?

Members don't see this ad.

 

[GibbyGGs]

Is it confirmed the last offer date is March 15 or is it March 1? March 1 is what it says on the website

Is it confirmed the last offer date is March 15 or is it March 1? March 1 is what it says on the website

This is what I got in their most recent email: "We anticipate making acceptance offers on October 17, December 16, February 1, and March 15. Your profile will remain on hold until such time that you receive an offer of admission (on one of the above dates) or you are invited to be on the alternate list, which will be formulated in mid-March."

3/15. The website is outdated.

 

[docdom]

Is the 75/100 pulled off the waitlist an accurate number? If so, that is reassuring.

Hope so! it's the official estimate from the AAMC so i'm sure it's close

 

[polkman789]

3/15 is also match day so that’s pretty cool

I don't know the exact number and it's very much possible that VCU hasn't updated their AAMC reported numbers. They are going through a leadership transition in the admissions department this year so a lot of things may be in flux. That being said, so many of my classmates have been from WL, more than I had imagined, including myself. It's not the worst place to be.

Any idea if the transitional leadership in admissions means they’re reviewing applications differently?

probably not this cycle. perhaps starting next cycle.

Dang MSAR (https://students-residents.aamc.org/system/files/2023-11/MSAR_Waitlist_Procedures_11.29.23.pdf) says there's 100 waitlist spots, from which 75 acceptance offers are given out. Not bad odds at all

I hope this is accurate - was looking on threads from past years and people have questioned it a bit b/c there's usually hundreds in this post-II hold limbo and if they all end up on the WL, that's way more than 100....

Maybe they do send out Rs post II?

 

[Dr_Pediatrics]

Does everyone get a post-II hold initially?

 

[Idkwhattocallit]

Yup I think so. Some people think that they send out a few number of rejections after the interview but I haven’t seen any reported on here.

 

[catlover2000!]

From my understanding at the interview they said they do send rejections as well as holds after the committee review on Monday

Does anybody receive nothing the week after their interview?

It seems some people did not receive an email on Monday, but did year back later in the week for some reason.

That's what happened to me as well.

 

[doctortrafalgarlaw]

hold email just now. interviewed 2/28.

 

[choppedliver]

hold at 3:50PM today, interviewed 2/27. March 15th cannot get here fast enough

 

[anAvacado....thanks]

still hoping for an ii lol

 

[mtjam]

Does anyone who interviewed remember what they said about waitlist? I missed it. She said acceptances 3/15, waitlist will come out 7-10 days later. I heard “offers on 7/22” but missed before that. Is it rolling to get off waitlist?

They said they will "form the alternate list" by April, and you could be invited off the waitlist up to the day before Orientation (which might be 7/22?)

yeah exactly. everyone's on hold after their interview, no way is everyone on hold being accepted/waitlisted. assuming rejections will also come March 15.

Fairly certain this isn’t the case. They mentioned at the interview that you get rejected or put on hold the following week. Plus the hold email specifically says the next step is either WL or A…

Agree that the email said it's either WL or A, but no one has reported any R post-II...

I would expect there to be more than 100 WLs by now. I'm sure the WL numbers will drop when people get accepted from other schools and drop their WLs, but I'm still shook that will result in ~100 WLs?

On the 2018-19 thread, one of the assistant deans for admissions mentioned that there were 250+ on the waitlist for that year. I believe another instance, they mentioned that MSAR was inaccurate. I don’t know if these still hold true but I suspect the waitlist number is around the same.

Probably just a reporting sample bias. MSAR numbers could also be inaccurate.

They said it during the interview they do give out post-II Rs, so I would be shocked if they didn’t even if no one has said that on here. But I wish they would be more transparent about the waitlist process 😓

OOS, pre-II R two days ago.
