I wonder if we can ask tomorrow or if we have to wait until Monday to see where we sit on the alternate list?
I definitely only saw “Alternate list” and immediately emailed them back asking where I was. Only re-read the email and saw that they said not to do that until tomorrow. Oops 😳I wonder if we can ask tomorrow or if we have to wait until Monday to see where we sit on the alternate list?
Actually, I just read the email (for the 5th time) and it said that acceptances AFTER July 1 will automatically come with a campus assignment, meaning acceptances BEFORE July 1 will have the opportunity to choose. So it seems like the list will move before then. Likely, a few over the next few days, then many more after the AAMC 1-acceptance deadline in April.Alt list :/
As per the email, do we only have a chance at being accepted after July 1st?
Last year, they said it usually goes through “the middle of the middle third” so, approximately half the waitlist. That’s is in no way a solid number though.from past years, does anyone know which third of alternate list pretty much guarantees an A?
how/when do wait list acceptances come out? Do they do like a big batch at once? Or is it sending them out individually as wait listed people get in?Actually, I just read the email (for the 5th time) and it said that acceptances AFTER July 1 will automatically come with a campus assignment, meaning acceptances BEFORE July 1 will have the opportunity to choose.

top 1/3 - anything below that and it's a crapshoot, bottom 1/3 it's curtains!from past years, does anyone know which third of alternate list pretty much guarantees an A?
Hm ok so if we end up in upper third it's pretty much an ALast year, they said it usually goes through “the middle of the middle third” so, approximately half the waitlist. That’s is in no way a solid number though.

Individually as people reject acceptance offers.how/when do wait list acceptances come out? Do they do like a big batch at once? Or is it sending them out individually as wait listed people get in?
someone got off the bottom 1/3 last year if you look at this threadLast year, they said it usually goes through “the middle of the middle third” so, approximately half the waitlist. That’s is in no way a solid number though.

yes, it was late June.
I am sorry to hear I totally feel you this happened to me last year too, but hey don't give up hope I am sure you will have a spot meant for you at another school and become a great doctor! Congrats to everyone who got accepted!Post-II R. It’s awful how this school kept me in limbo for 4 months just to be rejected when there was a good chance I was put in the R pile the day after my interview. Best of luck to the rest of you
Maybe the A wave is tmrwLots of Alt lists and R’s, but no A’s so far
Maybe. Wouldn’t make much sense if that’s the case. If I were an admissions committee, I’d send out the A’s first. Any immediate rejections would mean I could send out more A’s to people at the top of the waitlist.Maybe the A wave is tmrw
Yeah that's what I thought too bc other schools send out As first before WL or R...Maybe. Wouldn’t make much sense if that’s the case. If I were an admissions committee, I’d send out the A’s first. Any immediate rejections would mean I could send out more A’s to people at the top of the waitlist.
That sucks. I’m sorry. I was in your shoes last year, and only took a (small) step forward with the WL this year. Cheers and hopefully you have A’s in other placesIS R
Wild that they have the audacity to say they won’t give feedback on the application we paid to submit, but are also offering a $250 pre-med course to find weak points in the application.
so sorry to hear this! it sucks, I know. This is my fourth cycle so it could always be worse.IS R

5pm CST or EST?Just spoke with admissions; we are free to e-mail tonight after 5 p.m. Great to know that!
Since they are based out of Missouri, I would assume it would be 5pm CST5pm CST or EST?
As far as I know (I could be wrong) on Interview day, they said that our application files are closed, so no further updates/materials/etc would be accepted. Whether that changes for students on the waitlist or not, I do not know.Does anyone know if they accept letters of intent?

So sorry to hear this! You will get in somewhere, and it does look like at least one person got in last year who was in the bottom 1/3.Lol bottom third on alt list ggs
I think it's wraps for me with Miz... this scares me bc if I'm bottom third here then I wonder if I'm also on the bottom of the waitlist for two other schools I'm waitlisted at... sigh. To be fair I am OOS so I wonder if that's why I'm bottom thirdSo sorry to hear this! You will get in somewhere, and it does look like at least one person got in last year who was in the bottom 1/3.
OOS is likely a big component. I believe MU only interviews a few OOS applicants, and from them, an even smaller portion are offered seats.I think it's wraps for me with Miz... this scares me bc if I'm bottom third here then I wonder if I'm also on the bottom of the waitlist for two other schools I'm waitlisted at... sigh.

If it makes you feel any better, I’m also in the bottom 1/3 and I am an in-state applicant. Cycle is basically over for me.I think it's wraps for me with Miz... this scares me bc if I'm bottom third here then I wonder if I'm also on the bottom of the waitlist for two other schools I'm waitlisted at... sigh.

Absolutely! Hop to it!So we can email today where we are on the alt list?

Congrats man!!!!!!! Manifesting this for me too 😂 Just sent a letter of interest to the other school I am waitlisted at 🤞Craziest past 24 hours for me, I got waitlisted, found out I was bottom third, and then received an acceptance to another school an hour later. I will be letting go of my position on the alternate list here (even tho it prob won't make a difference). Imma become a doctor finally 😭😭😭
Thanks man!!!! Manifesting that MD A for you as well!Congrats man!!!!!!! Manifesting this for me too 😂 Just sent a letter of interest to the other school I am waitlisted at 🤞

Nice work on the middle 1/3. That must feel great! You have an awesome chance of getting the "A"!Anyone else middle third gang?
I believe it picks up like crazy mid-April. Last year students were being accepted from the middle 1/3 by May 1st. So you should be in really good shape.
