"What are my chances of getting off a waitlist (in a good way)?” Your chances of getting off the waitlist are directly related to the school’s yield percentage. If, for example, a school has a 90% yield, your chances of getting off the waitlist are slim. Some medical schools have rolling waitlists that they review throughout the interview season. Some waitlists are ranked while others are not.
Most waitlists are non-rolling, and they will consider waitlist applicants only after May 15th, when all accepted students can hold only one acceptance. For medical schools that start classes before July 30th, however, you must hold only one acceptance as of April 15th (rather than May 15th). Isn't keeping track of all of these dates a blast?!
