Also, I know for mercer nearly half their class that entered in 2015 was from the wait list. Does anyone know the numbers for MCG? I remember someone saying that hadn't updated their MSAR info on it from last year but I was just curious.

I am remediating M1. A fair amount of the class of 2019 was from the waitlist for MCG. Almost everyone I spoke to was waitlisted and I am watching the "memory" posts on Facebook go crazy this week. Apparently I was higher ranked than everyone, which I think was odd.

They discourage contacting and will sometimes just lie to you or give you standard information and not personalized information, even if you do contact them and are persistent. Just don't bother, you will not learn much and your position is unlikely to change. They assume you are still interested and they know they can be selective.

The uncertainty of the ranking sucks...I just wonder what factors besides academics influence it, like early interview dates and what not.

Yeah I was completed in August but got their last interview date so I am probably not high on the wait list...looking forward to filling out AACOMAS in a few days lol

Congrats! Hard work and persistence pays off!

Btw, was your acceptance off the waitlist? And was it over the phone or through email?

Yes, persistence is the key!

And yes, it was off of the waitlist by email at 4:20.

I know you said that you tried calling MCG recently. Did they not want to discuss you specifically on the phone? I sent a letter of intent when I got waitlisted, but didn't know they won't accept that. I thought they would at least accept that other than grades.
 
Congrats to those who were accepted!!! What were your stats, if you guys don't mind sharing :)

Last year, I was complete in July, had their last interview date, and was pulled on traffic day.

Yea seriousssslyy.

But I think it might take a few days since you get like 5(?) days to make a decision on that WL movement on monday 5/2 so once enough of those drop, then they'll have more I believe.

Oh I'm wrong, on AAMC website it says "after April 30th, a minimum of five business days to respond to an acceptance offer."

Maybe someone who just got accepted can tell us what it says on their acceptance email?

I though each school sets their own deadline or does everyone have to go off of aamc?

My son is in-state... Has a 3.99 GPA... And a 521 on the MCAT. He was waitlisted. I'd love to know what this school is looking for in their applicants.

With a 3.99 and a 521, they probably assume your son is headed to Harvard, Wash U, Hopkins, UCSF, or Yale..which I assume he is. It's what SDN has termed "yield protection".

Their argument would be, he should of applied early decision or sent a letter of intent prior to December. Though I admit, it is really tough if you want to keep your options open with those kind of stats.

I'm in an awkward position. I got accepted to Morehouse which starts June 29th but MCG is my top choice. I really am hoping to get accepted off the wait list
