Does UM have an AOA
YesDoes UM have an AOA
Has anyone who responded to this alternate waitlist email received a confirmation email?Just got an email asking if I would like to remain an alternate and whether I had committed to another medical school
I didn’t get a confirmation emailHas anyone who responded to this alternate waitlist email received a confirmation email?
I asked about that and they responded by saying they have no idea how many students will withdraw their acceptancesI know nobody can tell us where we are on the alt list but can we call about a general position, such as likely to get off the list or not?
I wish they would atleast say top, middle, bottom. That should be easy enough.I asked about that and they responded by saying they have no idea how many students will withdraw their acceptances
Any school with ranking is going to lead to a more competitive and less collaborative class. That doesnt mean you're going to be with 90 gunners. Theres always going to be the person sharing their quizlet, the m2 giving you tips, etc.Do internal rankings make a big difference in how collaborative a class is? The main deterrent from me coming is class ranking, it really scares me. I hate how 20% of our rank now is going to come from preclinical years.
+1If they never reviewed our application (and rejected us), do we get our money back or something? I mean at least reject me at this point lol. Am I the only one at this point? +1 if you're also in the same boat
Having rankings overall isn’t ideal but if It helps, apparently the students thought it was a good idea to change the preclinical contribution from 10 to 20% because it’s more fair than basing almost everything off clerkships that have so much variabilityDo internal rankings make a big difference in how collaborative a class is?

my app went from under review to R. Never even got scored.I just called them and they're like "we finished interviewing.... you can ask about your admissions status via email". I'm like "hello, we're in May im not dumb. I just expected you guys to tell me that I got rejected since I paid for my app to get reviewed by you". I applied to over 40 schools and this is the only one that didnt give me the courtesy. Sad.
On a more positive note, congrats to all who got in here and other med schools. Today is a super exciting day for all of us!
keep your chin up, like 10 people left the GroupMe chat today. I’m sure there will be more of the exodus.anyone get out of wl hell today?
Nothing here, crossing my fingers I hear something this week… good or badanyone get out of wl hell today?
Idk. The problem is that schools intentionally over-accept students expecting there to be late withdrawals so its possible that many people decide to go elsewhere and there still wouldn’t be any waitlist movementI know they sent the email about making moves on the alternate list this week, but does anyone have any idea about when they'll let us know this week?
yeah it sucks because a lot of us have a deadline to commit at another school / have to deal with housing and cant just wait with a thumb in our mouth lolIdk.

I feel like thats a really negative way to look at it. I'm sure Miami will have some waitlist movement, we just have to be patient! Like the fact that no one has heard back yet gives me hopeIdk.
