Does anyone know if calling and asking admissions about hpwl movement will make them less likely to take me off the list. I’m going crazy not knowing if or when a call is coming. How much movement is expected ect.

apparently they are not allowing curriculum switches this year, so this might be contributing to more movement.

I think part of what they consider movement is people dropping their seats. So having movement everyday will not necessarily mean there’s people getting accepted everyday!

I also think the committee still only meets on Fridays weekly so they have to take time during those to decide how to pull from HPWL/WL. I’m unsure why we haven’t heard more people get in tho on here since they def have had some acceptances

when did interviews stop? because once interview reviews stop, those committee meetings will be only reviewing WL positions aka more acceptances im guessing

Anyone know how many WL applications the committee reviews per meeting? Like do they review all or do we think they randomly choose and work thru certain “stacks” of applications here and there?

Congrats on your other acceptance/choice of school! You can either email or call a lot of people last year did either and both methods worked! If you wouldn’t mind are you withdrawing from pbl sgl hpwl or the wl! Good luck to you future doctor!

In the past I’ve just emailed the admissions department, or replied to an email thread that specifically mentions the past acceptance

Do we think Rowan is the type of school to just accept a bunch of WL people in batches or more just here and there periodically? Also does anyone have any idea how many WL applications the committee reviews (all WL applications or just some)?

I just called and they said there's a lot of movement but it seems like there have only been 2-3 accepted students from the waitlist sheet that was posted on here

if there’s been a lot of movement should we expect calls?

From looking at previous years as well, it seems that people do remain on WL/HPWL up till the very end. Although there is some movement in May, more movement occurs a lot closer to the start of classes (late June up to July 10). I'm not entirely sure the adcom's definition of "lots of movement" is super clear but rather is more arbitrary than what we might consider a lot (ie. 50% of waitlists or something). Also it feels like who gets pulled off the list is a lot more random and likely driven by meeting other criteria (ie. class diversity/demographics or certain unique qualities of applicants that will make the new class more aligned to what they are looking for).

All this to say, all WL/HPWL people, hang in there, if it's in the cards for this year, then it will be, and if not, then there's always another cycle, and I'm certain we will all become great physicians! This is such a tough journey, everyone should be very proud of how far they've come! <3

When u mention “a lot of movement” did they specify if this means people dropping acceptances or also people getting off WL and being offered admission?

So does this school ever send pre II rejections or do they just ghost us? I’ve been waiting since August and haven’t heard anything. I’m not assuming i’ll get a II or anything, but it would be nice if they had to decently to send me an email considering I paid a secondary fee and completed essays for them.
