CalBears Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Out of curiousity, what are the main reasons people are declining seats? Getting into their top choice? Having seats I’m already accredited programs? Concerns about the March accreditation review? Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etc. im thinking most likely people think its an expensive program and since its not accredited, they dont want to take a risk. also there are reasons like some people have multiple interviews.

Bigkid789 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 UT is a private school. Florida residency would have no bearing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I declined my seat due to getting accepted into a program that starts in January. It doesn't make any sense to decline an acceptance into a program before knowing where they stand on accreditation. I highly doubt they will have any problems with getting accreditation, but that would be a huge risk. I absolutely loved the program/staff, it's going to be amazing. You should feel very honored to get accepted into such a great program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on the waitlist, so your decline meant more hope for me. Can someone please verify with me if the original waitlist is 157 or 156 so I can calculate my ranking movement more accurately? according to this forum, there are 5 people declining their acceptances till this point including Casey, and there is also the possibility for more because not all people following and participating in this forum. I am currently in top 3 waitlist out of 153. I am very close to my dream of becoming a PA, and I need a bit more luck. What is my chance at this point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read some of your previous posts. You sounds like UT is your top choice and only chance for this cycle just like me. I hope we can be classmate for the coming inaugural class. Praying for more movements in the upcoming weeks. for both of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wonder if some of these declines were during the original phone calls before the waitlist was written.

JustinP Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 It seems the faculty and the coordinated staff is about to take a break for their Christmas break which is just a guess. I expect no movement for the next two weeks. One program that I got interviewed at stated that up to 30 percent people are being pulled off the wait list every year, this is the program that offers three positions of accepted, wait list, and rejected; for this reason, their wait list is much more smaller than ours. Regardless, another source claims the standard wait list should be as much as the official class size. For our case of 48 people in the class, 30 percent would be up to 14 people will get pulled off the wait list. Lets see if i can get in this year and about the rough prediction. I feel like watching the stock market every day. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
