I was in the WL last cycle. The majority of the WL movement happened in the first half of May. If I recall, if it’s past the first or second week of May, your chances of getting out of the WL significantly drop. Though WL movement technically still goes on until orientation begins. I’ve only heard of 1-2 guys every cycle who get accepted off the WL two weeks before orientation

Yeah I saw it started slowing down last year past like May 15th/16th. I’m giving myself until May 15th of this year then going to start grabbing housing at a different school I got an A at.

However, I will say things could be different this year with the unprecedented FAFSA delays and new campus accepting 40 more students than previous years.

Based on the last two weeks, I guess they don't like sending out acceptances on Fridays lol

 

[indebtedsaddle23]

To next week we go everybody… I wanted to hear people’s thoughts/opinions on WL movement this year. Do we think because of FAFSA delays, the whole campus assignment blunder and MCG accepting 40 more students this year will change WL movement compared to previous years and how so?

Probably a mixture of FAFSA delays and it depends on school start dates. Those with earlier dates are gonna move earlier/now

 

[akmzk]

I was just thinking about that.. Based on what people have been reporting here, with only Savannah acceptances since last Friday (and considering that Savannah only has 40 seats compared to the 300 from Athens and Augusta combined) statistically we are bound to see more movement… right?!

I hope so!

I would say there’s still going to be a bit of waitlist movement (my best guess would be at least a dozen more As before the orientation in July). Just wanted to offer some clarity based on the numbers provided during my interview: 206 seats in Augusta, 60 seats in Athens, 40 seats in Savannah, and I’m pretty sure there’s 306 seats total.

Do we know how many people are currently assigned to each campus?

So I just looked through the GroupMes and ran some quick counts:

MCG total: 300 (284 new students, 16 upper class students)
MCG Athens: 77 (62 new students, 15 upper class students)
MCG Savannah: 34 (25 new students, 9 upper class students)

***MCG Augusta does not have a dedicated GroupMe and a lot of people are in multiple groups so it’s hard to say how many students are in the Augusta group without double-counting.
But through the difference it looks like there are 197 new students in the Augusta group.

It is also to be noted that not everyone who is an upper class student has identified themselves (via an M1/M2 next to their name) so it’s difficult to say with certainty how accurate these numbers are.

Thank you for that!! Hoping for some movement today or tomorrow going crazy over here lol

Thanks for info medhealthy!! Honestly at this point it’s all speculation. We don’t know how many of the groupme exactly are current students. We don’t know how many are going elsewhere and are still in the chat. We don’t know how many got accepted but aren’t in the groupme. Lots of variables.

All we can do is wait.

Yes forreal lol

 

[Aqua Life]

Does anyone know what's going to happen for those in the future that pick the Athens campus? Would we be attending school along with uga med students? Using their new building?

 

[littlemac]

Withdrew my A, hopefully it goes to one of you!

Hope you make Doc Louis proud, Little Mac

has anyone checked with the admissions office regarding the waitlist movement? In the past, the first two weeks seemed to have a lot more movement but I don't know if it is the same for this year due to the FAFSA delay and PTE extension unless there is WL movement that is not being reported on SDN.

Seems odd there hasn’t been a single reported this week

 

[indebtedsaddle23]

For those accepted, did MCG extend their PTE deadline? I know a lot of schools did

I called them on Monday and they said that they are still in the process of accepting people off the waitlist, but said it was uncertain when/how often as only the admission committee itself knows. It is weird that we haven't heard anything yet this week tho

Got the A today at 1:17pm, EST via e-mail. No campus assignment yet. Completely unreal, but thankful. I will be pulling for all of you on the WL still. I know how painful it is, so if you guys need any sort of updates I'll still be checking SDN on the reg.

Congratulations that's awesome!! Do you mind sharing your stats?

Also are you URM or ORM?

 

[DrChuckleNutz]

Acceptance not received at 1:17 today 🙏

No, they never gave an extension. No financial aid letters yet either. I met with the financial aid counselor yesterday and they still don't know when that might be coming ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Dr_Ng0]

I'm actually not sure, but I'm Vietnamese if that helps.

 

[JungleTrouble]

I think cali says Viets are underrepresented but Georgia doesn't explicitly define that.

 

[indebtedsaddle23]

I'm actually not sure, but I'm Vietnamese if that helps.

Are you comfortable sharing stats and interview date?

 

[pre_med_student]

Oh wow I’m in shock! Accepted off waitlist today at 2:53 pm! Hoping for good news for all the other waitlist applicants. GPA was a 4.0 from Undergrad and had a low 500 MCAT score

 

[indebtedsaddle23]

Looks like they are slowly trickling in still.. anybody else hear anything? Or going crazy like me

Can someone please send me the group chat for MCG accepted students?

 

[apestrongtogether976]

I got off the WL on Friday afternoon! Low 500 mcat as well and high gpa, interviewed late Nov. Can someone also send me the groupme?

I know the feeling. I'm also a low 500 mcat/high gpa candidate. Congrats!!!!

 

[noobman]

Congrats to everyone who got in! What campuses did you all put as your preferences and what did you get?

 

[cpie99749]

anyone who is admitted, anyone looking for a roommate?

 

[zygomatic_process]

Oh yeah, been a long time coming. ≥515, ≥3.75, ORM

 

[pre_med_student]

I put Savannah as my preference and got assigned to Savannah’s campus

 

[indebtedsaddle23]

Has anyone been accepted with a less than stellar Casper score or know how much it matters? I wonder if it has been holding me back.

I got the bottom quartile

 

[akmzk]

Has everyone who’s gotten in from the WL so far been assigned the Savannah campus?

 

[apestrongtogether976]

Congrats to everyone who got in! What campuses did you all put as your preferences and what did you get?

I put augusta as my #1 and got assigned to that!

 

[Tarara]

Did anyone who got the email about the early assurance program MS-MD offer while being on the waitlist accept the offer? or is planning to accept it?

Has the deadline to accept the offer passed already?

 

[Tarara]

Has the deadline to accept the offer passed already?

Yeah the deadline to accept it was May 15th

 

[indebtedsaddle23]

Has anybody called office or has updates regarding WL movement?

 

[soreadytobeadoctor]

Has anybody called office or has updates regarding WL movement?

I emailed them to ask about when can we expect a final answer and they said they can't say.

 

[indebtedsaddle23]

I spoke to them the other day just to let people know. They said they are still pulling off the waitlist on a rolling basis. Don’t know how many or when exactly people will hear back.
