Anyone planning to apply for FAFSA for student loan disbursement? I believe FAFSA is due end of June?

 

[lobsterthermidor]

Where the alternate list movement at 😠

I feel this! hahaha like do I start packing to move OOS?

 

[Ceezin24]

For real, I’m still waitlisted wondering whether I should start being concerned, or should I continue not thinking about it

 

[KobeFanatic510]

I’m starting to sweat a little 🤪

 

[stressedstudent2000]

I’m starting to sweat a little 🤪

[lobsterthermidor]

[shinbong]

I think they go through the entire waitlist, then they move to the alternate list

When I called and asked, they said waitlist gets higher priority, but they don't necessarily go through all waitlist before alternates. More like one pool if applicants with some having a leg up when a spot opens up.

[Ceezin24]

I already got my second one two weeks ago, 3 weeks apart from my first continued interest email. Seems like not all of us receive the email at the same time and I’ll probably receive my third next week as well

I haven't seen any yet. if this year will be anything like the last though, most of the AL movement will happen in July.

Thank you!I can’t find that detail in my messages, maybe someone else knows?

Thanks! 3.87 gpa 505 MCAT

 

[liruike321]

Got the A off waitlist on Tuesday, just declined. Hopefully it will help one of you on the alternate list. 3.75gpa, 514 mcat, ORM, interviewed on March.

Best of luck to everyone!

Hi everyone! I'm applying this cycle and would love to go to WesternU Pomona. My cgpa is 3.48, my mcat is 505 (126/126/127/126), and I'm a CA resident. What are my chances for COMP? Thank you!

 

[SOtheProdigy]

For those that applied this past cycle, I have a question. So, I received a secondary a week ago, and they are asking me to submit it within 1 week for an early review. Even though I finished, I still need at least a day or two to make it better. Do ya'll think submitting a week later will hurt my chances for an II?

I submitted mine 4 weeks later, still received an II. I think it’s just that your app will be behind all other apps that were sent earlier. But I think it’s crazy how they ask for 1 week considering they have one of the longest secondaries 💀

Lol, I know, right. This one took me forever. I finished yesterday, so we will see. Congrats on your acceptances from the past cycle!

Solid! I had a 501 mcat and lower cgpa and still got an interview. Apply early and show your maintained interest!

I don't know if this has been posted here yet but... feelin it today haha

 

[Ceezin24]

Yeah seems like waitlist movement is a little slower this year

 

[ripeolives]

Yeah seems like waitlist movement is a little slower this year

it’s because they accidentally accepted an entire interview cohort in april

 

[Ceezin24]

it’s because they accidentally accepted an entire interview cohort in april

do you think it's likely that they would increase the size of this year's cohort to accommodate for this? has this been done elsewhere?
I'm so desperate because so much of my life and future is hinging on whether I get accepted to this school or not, as with many others, no doubt
