Is there typically a lot of WL movement at this school?

In my interview I think they said 75-100 usually come off the waitlist!

[biochem_boi]

Actually happy to be on the WL lmao

 

[justwaiting12]

WL as well - hoping the best for us

 

[bubble370]

did anyone get an R?

 

[theo77]

WL, good luck to everyone especially w/o any As yet

 

[Kokonaut]

Also WL today - good luck everyone.

 

[Kokonaut]

Silly question - but do we need to do anything beyond designating continued interest on the alternate form?

 

[afib_atruth]

Just wondering, does whether or not you're accepted to other schools make a difference in when/if you come off the waitlist?

 

[BTSBoy]

Just got my WL!

I don’t think so, VCU uses a scoring system and I don’t think that affects your score! Not 100% sure tho

 

[bonk215]

WL as well

 

[justwaiting12]

Random but did you guys get an email when your portal changed? I didn’t and my emails been funky lately so wondering if that’s normal

yea got the medapp notice

 

[voxveritatisetlucis]

WL

Does everybody get waitlisted who didn’t get in. After so many post-II rejections in a row, feels decent to not get another R even if I won’t be accepting alternate list position

 

[BunbunHuey21]

On the alternate list form, do we just check one of the two options and that's it? It said we're encouraged to use the form throughout the rest of the cycle but as far as I can see, we can't make any changes after an option is selected?

 

[arnim]

WL!

 

[deleted1123321]

Chances post WL?

 

[Talldoctor96]

Chances post WL?

They take 75-100 the waitlist has 250 plus historically

 

[star-lily]

did anyone get an R?

I may have

 

[star-lily]

Can you explain how you think you got an R? Was your portal not updated to say you're on the Alternate List?

Yep, no email or update. I don't know why I wouldn't have at least gotten a WL.

 

[ms2731]

Do you know if OOS and IS have different alternate list?

 

[mdhopeful77]

Did the wording on the WL notification scare anyone else?? Once I read the word "regret" I started getting so nervous lol

 

[mdhopeful77]

Yep, no email or update. I don't know why I wouldn't have at least gotten a WL.

Maybe they are sending out WL in waves and you'll get one today! I feel like if you were rejected they would have notified you of that

 

[star-lily]

If you go on your portal, is there still an option to "Withdraw"? If that's gone, it means you got rejected. If it's still there, there's a chance they just didn't get to your application to make a decision for some reason

The "Withdraw" button is still there! You're giving me hope 🥺💖

 

[bubble370]

Did they just WL everyone this cycle, feels like it if no Rs

 

[toetheline]

@vcu please reject me already, been stuck in this sub-committee purgatory

 

[ms2731]

Did they just WL everyone this cycle, feels like it if no Rs

I checked last year SDN coupe of days ago. I believe rejections wave will come a day or two days after completion of alternating list.

 

[deleted1123321]

That alternate list response recorded email scared me lol

 

[deleted1123321]

So when should we expect waitlist movement based on last few years?

Last year started on March 25th

 

[stylin456]

Last year started on March 25th

But last year they didn’t have an acceptance day on March 15

 

[deleted1123321]

But last year they didn’t have an acceptance day on March 15

Tbh they didn’t have one either this year; I’m p sure they just went straight to AL

 

[Talldoctor96]

Yes they did… scroll up

WL'ed on 3/17. Interviewed on 3/1.

Are there people from earlier interview dates who got put on the WL already? It looks like we have a couple of February/March people, but idk.

Yep, interviewed in late September and waitlisted 3/17

 

[ms2731]

same

 

[star-lily]

I interviewed in late February and still haven't gotten a WL yet, but the option to withdraw is still there (so no R either)...

 

[Talldoctor96]

@Talldoctor96 can you confirm that what I said is true regarding the withdraw button? I don't want to give out false information

No yeah that was for sure true. Peoples withdraw button would disappear

 

[ms2731]

seems like they waitlisted everyone post-ii. It is crazy that we do not even know our place in waitlist.

 

[CARSIsTheFinalSquidGame]

Hi friends! Idk if I'm allowed to advertise like, but please slap me on the wrist if I'm being problematic. I have started a thread for people on Virginia MD waitlists. I think we can help each other gauge overall in-state movement if we work together!

Virginia In-State Waitlist Thread [Tech, UVA, EVMS, and VCU] (2021-2022)

Thread for Virginians on waitlists for Virginia MD schools! AAMC traffic rule deadlines are coming up so let's help each other gauge in-state waitlist movement in the Commonwealth of Virginia :)

would you mind telling us if you are in or out of state?

 

[reapplicantmed]

Anyone received their financial aid package.

 

[LoveJesus!]

So I'm assuming WL people hear back tomorrow?

Last year started on March 25th

 

[JohnQ189]

@Talldoctor96 I was looking at last year's thread and it seems that everyone that received an R after the waitlist was made didn't interview. Does that mean everyone that interviews gets placed on the waitlist? Also, if there's separate waitlists for IS and OOS do IS applicants only move off the waitlist if an IS applicant gives up their acceptance? Thanks!

 

[deleted1123321]

no idea bro i guess we'll see

I emailed the financial aid office and they said they usually send out package first week of April

No, people who interviewed will be rejected when waitlist is made.

Yes there are seperate. IS moves slower
