2023-2024 Waitlist Support Thread

[wysdoc]

Does this mean that if we accept an offer from the waitlist of one school, we are automatically removed from the waitlists of other schools?

No, you can still be on WL until you commit to a school or pull yourself from the WL

That said it’s uncommon to get more than one WL offer

I feel the same. The thoughts are all-consuming. 😭

Is it really uncommon to get more than one WL offer? Especially if you are on a ton of WL's?

Same i've held out a little hope for some WL but realistically idt im gonna get off one and i fear it's gonna suck

 

[2023applicantxd]

If i get off the cornell waitlist i'll run from my apt in bethesda to nyc

 

[wysdoc]

Don’t get me wrong guys, it’s not time to give up on your WLs because the busy time for WL offers is in May.
Realistically you may get one but not several

does getting off the waitlist at one school (amcas updating and you PTE) affect getting off the waitlist at another?

No

 

[mysteryman020]

No

thank you

 

[longsocks16]

They will just ask you to accept or not accept their offer.
At this point in the cycle you may only have 1-2 weeks or less to decide, so be ready.

But if we accept their offer, does that mean we have to withdraw our other waitlist positions?

Depends on the rules at that school: when do they require you to commit?
Read your WL offer word by word.
If you choose PTE you can stay on WLs
If you choose CTE you have to drop all your WLs and other A’s.

This may have been answered before, but I believe if you do plan to enroll you don’t have to but if you commit to enroll you have to

Hey all, here are some links I found that were pretty helpful in explaining more about the PTE/CTE for both MD and DO schools. Hopefully, this helps a bit!

Thank you all!! Super helpful

 

[2023applicantxd]

Looks like some schools WL movement is gonna start later bc some schools have extended their PTE deadlines

 

[mysteryman020]

Where can you see the PTE deadline for schools?

 

[2023applicantxd]

Where can you see the PTE deadline for schools?

it's april 30 for all schools but i think most schools are granting extensions if you ask for one

 

[mysteryman020]

I know the schools I’m WL at have said aid won’t come out June to July, doubt they’ll give extensions

Thank you so much! Been a wild ride, but beyond grateful. Was reflecting today about when my undergrad advisor told me to "rethink med school because I had essentially no chance of making it". That guy can kick rocks barefoot, respectfully! I'm gonna be a doctor baby! 🙌

In a very similar boat to you, you give me lots of hope!

Crying tears of happiness for you! Congratulations future MD!!!!

I just emailed my school's admission committee to clarify their policies regarding PTE/CTE, but I will probably PTE.

Same
Boat. But doing PTE to be safe. Can’t take a chance with them taking the offer back. And apparently people get off WL since it is PTE and not CTE

 

[mysteryman020]

one more day.

[notanappleadaydoc]

Anyone else been having restless nights recently?

Really praying that we all get off the waitlists and all get at least one A!

 

[girlonamission11]

may the odds be ever in our favor

 

[g07doc]

it's april 30 for all schools but i think most schools are granting extensions if you ask for one

Does that mean you can hold off on PTE at the school you have an acceptance at. The school that I have an acceptance at their PTE deadline is June and CTE July.

 

[g07doc]

If you have an acceptance but are on multiple waitlists at schools you’d rather attend, do you have to select PTE for the accepted school by April 30th? I was thinking of not PTEing at all, as the school I was accepted at does not require it. Please let me know and thank you!!

Did you get any more info. As I am in the same boat.

 

[garnmonster]

after so much waiting it doesn’t feel real that movement could start in just a few days

 

[butterflyku]

Did you get any more info. As I am in the same boat.

Hi!! The school I am accepted to does not have a policy regarding PTE, only that I CTE in July, so I’ve decided not to PTE. I would look at your schools policy of PTE and see if it’s required by today!!

 

[Rite1234]

My school told me that they have no guidelines for PTE/CTE, but I still PTEd in case. Then again, it was a TMDSAS school, so they don't really care about CYMS/AMCAS.

Idek if TMDSAS applicants can access CYMS unless they started a AMCAS app

I think you have to be accepted by an AMCAS school to see CYMS.

FINGERS CROSSED FOR ALL OF US!! Especially those who have not received any outright acceptances, but also for those of us who are WL'd at our top choices and hoping to stay near our support systems!
