To those on the waitlist, I called and they said that movement has been very slow and if it continues like it has been it is possible that there may not be any more movement.

Sad news. Thank you for calling, though. Did they say if they're still waiting on any responses from people they've recently given a spot to?To those on the waitlist, I called and they said that movement has been very slow and if it continues like it has been it is possible that there may not be any more movement.

They are currently over filled, actually.
Yes. SorryI was worried about that happening based on threads from the previous year . Looks like it's time to add GW to my AMCAS 2016. Did you get that info from the admissions office?
So I called the office yesterday to ask the same thing because I'm trying to weigh my alternatives for next year. I directly asked the gentleman who answered if the class was full or overenrolled, and what he said is that "the class is always full" and that they can't anticipate if/when people who we're holding acceptances may give them up. We may or may not have spoken with the same guy, and he may have just been someone who has nothing to do with the committee and doesn't know the specifics of whether some offers are still outstanding. It's pretty depressing news either way, I think.I was worried about that happening based on threads from the previous year . Looks like it's time to add GW to my AMCAS 2016.

I spoke to a woman, so who knows what the real truth is, but I do think that the gist is that nobody should really expect much more wait list movement, unfortunately.So I called the office yesterday to ask the same thing because I'm trying to weigh my alternatives for next year.

I interviewed with a reapplciant who was wait listed. He was accepted, so I believe that plays a big factor.How did those of you who are reapplicants make out this year?
We are unable to provide individual counseling or advice to you regarding your competitiveness and encourage you to speak with a pre-medical advisor or other trusted advisor regarding your very specific and personal concerns. They may be able to offer you some perspective relative to other applicants.
Since the 2016 cycle has started, if you are considering reapplying, we recommend that you move forward with the process. Please know that submitting a new application while in the alternate pool will have absolutely no impact on the decision for this current year."
Interesting, I got the same exact e-mail w/o the following lines:

I know I'm having a hard time believing this, but how can they close the wait list when there are still at least 2 weeks left before orientation? Do we think they've contacted people that are really close to getting admitted in case there are any withdrawals?
no its probably fine. they only give you like 250 characters anyways which is barely anything to write withThis probably was asked earlier, and I'm submitting my secondary relatively late - but, for question 7 - your most meaningful community service experience to date - I mentioned in my primary application a volunteer position at a hospital and also had it labeled as a "most meaningful experience..."
is this too repetitive??
