they wont tell you. im in the same position as you have already done everything for a smp just need to sign a lease. i contacted them about a week or so ago asking them where i stood on the waitlist and if there was still movement, how much they expected things like this and all they said was that they still are seeing movement and nothing about the other questions.
Homework before orientation!
The thing is they don't rank their waitlist, so there's no way they can tell you where you're rank. But I'm sure they could have told you guys how many are actually on the waitlist at the moment, but I guess they might have their reasons.Ok, I won't ask. But I don't see what the big deal is. Why not tell us where we stand? Especially if the list is large or if we are on the bottom of the waitlist. Other schools will say if you're ranked high, med, low...so I am not understanding the secretiveness.
One school I was waitlisted at released me from the waitlist about a week ago. And that school has had no waitlist movement. I assume they released a bunch of us because they knew they'd never get to us to offer a seat. I'm happy they gave me that courtesy.
Which SMP are you potentially attending this fall??
The one i'm doing is intense. They gave me 4 modules and quizzes to complete about the standards of conducting research on animal models and humans. And they call it part of my pre-matriculation requirements.Homework before orientation!
I just added someone yesterday to the fb page so I would assume it’s still moving... although slowly.
I’m going to continue to have happy thoughts and wait and see.Admissions said the waitlist is still moving, but slowed down last week. Also said something about being patient and to wait till end of July. Still won’t disclose how many of us are still waiting.
The suspense!
I know the feeling, I was scrambling to find a roommate where I am going to school. I had four people message me this week looking ( I had already secured a 3b/2br house right across from the school)
Well I guess that would depend on how you plan to get better at standardized tests. But even as a person on the waitlist who would love to see you decline your seat, in general, I would never turn down a seat in a medical school just because there is no guarantee you’ll ever get that acceptance again
Got off the waitlist today? Also I don’t think anyone can really help you. If you feel you’re not ready ask to defer until next year or work on it. If you think you’ll be able to figure it out along the way, although that’s a pretty big gamble go for it best of luck
You have two years to become a better test taker. The school has a vested interest in you passing boards
First of all, MCAT and USMLE/COMLEX are very different exams, and though you still need to have good test taking skills, people with your MCAT score do fine in them all the time. Now, If you feel you can increase your next retake significantly (510+), so you could have a chance at MD then yes by all means do, it'll at least be worth it. But if you hit lower than that, your chance will still be at a DO school, and there's really no reason delaying medical school just to increase MCAT and then back to a DO school. Some schools won't even accept you next time around if they learn you were previously accepted somewhere (unless you lie which I DO NOT recommend doing at any cost). Your time and money would be better invested in trying to get better in the next 2 years of medical school.
Thank you, they actually send an email today.
KCU people are thinking you are lucky
