I think a lot fewer SDN users this year, and fewer who share newsAnyone feel like there just hasn't been that much waitlist movement this year compared to years past?

5 within what amount of time?Accepted off waitlist! 5 new students added to FB group so wysdoc is right - we only see a sliver here

Do you happen to know how many students are in the FB group ?5 within what amount of time?

There’s 472 people in the group and last year’s class has 667 people so that only makes me hopeful that there could still be more movement. Incoming students along with faculty and alumni can be a part of the group so that’s why it’s a lot higher than the class capacity.
Thank you so much for letting us know! That made me a little bit more hopeful since the last day of notification is June 1st, which is coming up.There’s 472 people in the group and last year’s class has 667 people so that only makes me hopeful that there could still be more movement.

June 1st isn’t the last day of notification. Most waitlist movement occurs before June 1st, but offers will still be made as seats become available.

I did not know that since I only used the waitlist letter as a reference. Thank you for letting me know!This is true. I looked at past threads and there were some acceptance offers off the waitlist post June 1st. And those don’t include the offers made that don’t share their news on SDN. I believe offers can be made all the way up to orientation which is in mid-July. Obviously only a few but it’s possible.

I don't necessarily think this is a good marker. All of the class pages typically have many, many people from all classes. I'm personally on 2022, 2023, and 2024. Conversely, a lot of people simply choose not to join from year to year or end up joining much later (especially those who aren't in the class).
This isn't to say there won't still be movement, just that this probably isn't a good marker.
That's a very good information to know so that I won't be too hopeful by using it as a reference. I thought the number in the facebook group is mainly for people who are in the class. Thank you!
A friend of mine just got a deferred acceptance today via phone call for next year's class!Did anyone hear any news this week?
Wow! I got the call today and was offered a deferred acceptance into next year's class! Dr. Kennedy said that this is the first year that they are doing this, and that I will still be in consideration for a spot in this year's class if a seat becomes available.
Although I'd ideally like to have a seat in this year's class, after years of reapplying, rejection, and improving my app year after year, I can definitively say that I will be a doctor (whether it means starting at TCOM this year or next). I'll post another update if I end up getting offered a spot in EY20.
Cheers to anyone else in this position. I hope to be able to start next month, but I'm still so happy to have the guaranteed seat next year.
@wysdoc
Same!

Same!! We’re going to be doctors
Fellow deferred admissions comrades: What do we do now?
What else? And what is everyone doing with their 12 months before starting TCOM Class of 2025? Work, research, etc? Boredom is setting in. I wish we could just start the program now, but I am so so grateful to be joining the Class of 2025. For me, in the meantime, I'll be working with COVID-19 clinical trials as a research assistant. What are y'all's plans?
- Pay deposit
- Send in transcripts
- Set up UNTHSC email account
I haven't done it yet, but I'm sure we'll get additional communications between now and the deadline in September.How did you all pay deposit?
Congrats! Interesting that they are continuing to make deferred admissions offers for EY21. Unless a deferred accepted applicant got a waitlist offer today for EY20 and just hasn't reported it (and therefore they wanted to fill that seat for EY21).Just received an email for an offer through the Deferred Admissions program!
Same! I responded that I was interested in accepting it ~ 10 minutes after receiving it. Did y'all receive a response back about setting up a phone call? I didn't so I guess on Monday.Just received an email for an offer through the Deferred Admissions program!

I received an email yesterday for a deferred spot and had a chance to talk to the admissions team. It doesn’t seem like there will be more spots given for the class of 2024. Regardless, I am more than happy to have been accepted even if I have to wait one more year!
Has anyone started an Unofficial student lead groupme or facebook group for the class of 2025?

Did you speak to Dr. Kennedy or the general admissions team? I received my email Friday and I’m currently waiting for the call from Dr. Kennedy for official confirmation! Excited to be apart of the Class of 2025.
I think a GroupMe would be great for us on the deferred admission program since this seems like the first year it has been implemented and it might be useful to make sure we’re all up to date.
I called the admission office and actually asked to speak with Dr. kennedy. It was a pretty quick conversation regarding the terms of the offer and the to do items (deposit and accept the offer on the portal). Nothing much besides that.
I also think it would be a good idea to make a group me. That way we can keep each other updated on the news that we get and just get to know each other. We can always share the group with everyone once the facebook group gets made too.
I made one! I can give the link out via DM.
For any of the deferred admissions people entering the Class of 2025, DM me and I can give you the link to join. I think this will be a good idea so we can communicate.
@coolgirl27 look a couple of posts above, @winnie97 has made a GroupMe connection for y'all already. Don't need to duplicate!I got a deferred acceptance email on Friday! And Dr. Kennedy called me yesterday to discuss it. I asked him about starting a Facebook group and he said it would be a great idea. He was going to ask someone more tech-savvy to help him do that. I think it will be awesome for us to connect with each other for a year before becoming classmates! Can't wait to meet y'all :~)

Congratulations! There is a groupme (unofficial) that we made. The person managing it is above. Send a direct message to be added!Accepted via the deferred acceptance program!
Right now, there’s 9 of us in the groupme!Just was curious how many people got deferred based on the group me?
There is a prompt that asks if we feel we are financially disadvantaged. If I have written about my situation in my primary application should I still write this something to answer that prompt or should I leave it blank since they probably have seen it in my primary application?Hello guys,
I'm a second year at TCOM and I look forward to meeting some of you in the future!
