what did you include in these multiple letter- how did you keep from sounding redundant, or is that kind of the point in reiterating your interest and dedication to their mission etc?
Click to expand...
all of my letters were updates as well, so i would do the update and then talk about my interest in the school, with each letter highlighting different reasons why i thought i fit with the mission/liked the school

Priority waitlisted today. Interviewed 2/17, OOS
 
DelightfulKidNextDoor said:
Yeah I was waitlisted interviewed 3/3 and it said late may too. But it said the waitlist isnt numbered so how are they deciding who gets off first?

It'll probably go through the priority list first and then the regular waitlist if there are spots left. But I'm not sure within the lists how they rank. It seems arbitrary.

I would send it as a PDF (it's professional, IMO) to either Dr. Dayton or Dr. McGeehan (or both). However, I doubt you would be judged for putting it into the body of an email or into a word doc.

for some reason, i'm having issues finding either of their emails online- are they not available on the website??
 
Cant wait to hear the first acceptance. please share your placements with us friends!
 
The physician I scribe for is writing me a letter to send in, what should I tell him to put in the address line? I'm thinking "to whom it may concern" is pretty safe. Or what about something along the lines of, "to the CMSRU admission's committee"?

You're going to give yourself agita:). The first is general and the second is specific, neither will make a difference (I'm sure the content of the letter will have much more impact). Good luck!!!

Hey all! I am a IS resident thinking about applying ED here this upcoming cycle. I really feel like I fit with the school's mission and I was hoping I could get some advice from applicants or medical students. My GPA/scGPA: 3.65/3.59 from a top school, MCAT:506, but I think the most important reason as to why I am interested in ED @ Cooper is because I have several long-term experiences of service with undeserved communities in my city and with students from my school community. Thank you so much and best of luck to those during this cycle:)

Have you heard yet, or are you still waiting too?

How can you tell if you are on the priority waitlist vs the regular?
Click to expand...

Priority waitlist should be clearly indicated in your email in bold. It should also say "You'll be the first to be offered seats as they open" in bold as well.
 
I'm assuming that if we haven't heard yet, we might well not hear until next week, what with Match Day and all!

Congrats, Jay555! Priority waitlist is nothing to sneeze at.

Congrats to you as well! What is your real name if you don't mind me asking? I think we interviewed on the same day. I wonder if I remember you. I was the girl that talked about having to give up rugby during the Q of the day.

PM-ing you
 
Does anyone have Dr. Dayton and Dr. Mcgeehan's emails?
 
Anyone going to Second Look Day on Saturday? If so, are you bringing guests?
 
Withdrew my acceptance yesterday. Hope one of you get it. Great school.

Any in state people get priority waitlist? I wish we knew at least how big these lists were.
Click to expand...

If you are priority waitlisted in state, then you stand a very good chance. Cooper doesn't interview a lot of people to begin with, additionally, they want to keep the class 70% in state, so your chances go up even further
 
I know I'm being neurotic, but do you think the OOS priority waitlist is proportionally smaller than the IS one, based on those percentages?
