Tier 2 as well...and the wait continues.

ditto
sounds like everyone and their mom is in tier 2. hardly seems worthwhile
I'm on the wait list also but didn't receive an email...
Congrats! Did you hear anything about financial aid packages?
Have some optimism if Yale is really where you want to go. From what it looks like it appears that they only emailed tier 2 today. Like they said, tier 1 is 10% of the waitlist and tier 2 is a little larger. Tier 3 is the largest. If they've gone into three sometimes there's no reason to assume tier 2 is Overly large.
I'm trying to remain optimistic. Its just that I'm currently matriculating into a med school that starts mid-end of June, so when they say that tier 2 will hear back mid-June, its a bit disheartening. Yale is still my number one, but just trying to get a realistic idea of how things might go.
You should take advantage of the calling hours they mentioned and tell them your situation.

Still no word from Yale, huh?
Tier 2 as well!
Does anyone else think it's odd that nobody has posted either their Tier 1 or Tier 3 status, yet people are getting accepted from Tier 2?
naijaba, can you please confirm that you're in tier 2?
What school starts in the heart of summer? That seems rather rude, haha.
I think they're being a little disingenuous about how they use these tiers - look how cryptic the email was regarding admissions chances. They gave us tiers to provide a very general insight into where we stand, but they are cherry picking at whim among tiers according to their convenience/needs.
I agree with you: they likely haven't gone through all of the Tier 1 people yet. My best guess is that when they run out of one particular type of applicant, they reach into tier 2 to find someone who meets their needs.

Most MSTPs (MD/PhD) begin lab rotations in the summer. But I've not come across any regular MD programs that begin that early.
Accepted from Tier 2 this morning. Looks like the waitlist moves quickly.
Thanks for the reply. Ok, so is anyone else confused as to why admissions are already accepting students off of the tier 2 waitlist? Could they have gone through the entire tier 1 waitlist by late May? I mean, I suppose its good for us tier 2 folks...

I am confused about that as well. I still find it weird that so far all of us who have posted are on tier 2. Doesn't make sense. Could they have made a mistake in the emails? Who knows. But I guess we will find out more when we call in during calling hours, assuming we can get through. Nonetheless, congrats to all the fellow "tier 2ers" accepted!
hey coreankim did you apply mstp as well? and i should also add, CONGRATS!
Hello guys! I called Yale today during their call-in hours. Mr. Silverman said that they are "pretty much done with tier 1" so maybe that's why tier 2 has been moving! Also he let me know where I am on the tier 2 wait list. Still seems like it's up in the air whether on not I'll be accepted, but I'm taking it in stride. Wherever I end up is where I belong!!! (or so I say to make myself feel better lol)
