Guest PAhopeful85 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Just got my waitlist packet in the mail. Can someone explain to me the wording of the second paragraph? "As a student on the waitlist, you have the potential to get a spot in the current semester. If a spot does not become available, you have the ability to roll over to the next subsequent term as a full admit, without any additional consideration or steps on your part." Did they just reword a generic university of Tampa graduate admission letter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they just reword a generic university of Tampa graduate admission letter? So eventually everyone will be accepted on the waitlist years down the road? Why does that seem too good to be true lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkid789 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 That's exactly what it looks like. Although, I'm guessing that the verbiage has to be taken into consideration. I'm guessing "potential" means that you have to be at least in the top 48 to roll into the next class. If you can wait a year, it looks like you're in. Of course, an email to the powers that be would be your best bet to confirm. Let's just hope you get in THIS next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they just reword a generic university of Tampa graduate admission letter? I thought they took you off the waitlist already PAhopeful85. I think they mean we can keep our current spot according to the scoring system to continue to compete for next year without reapplying. Obviously, there will be more people applying and they also have the chance to compete with our current ranking. It does sound too good to be true though. They may release a correction email stating this is a mistake soon just like they did with asking everyone to have a drug test before the interview lol.

We only moved two spots since last weekend even though three people here declined since last weekend. Maybe someone’s decline email went to their spam folder lol.

Hygiene2020 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Has anyone else received their waitlist packet in the mail and if so where are you on the waiting list(approx)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneCypriano Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hey everyone! Congrats on being accepted I am considering applying to UT's program next cycle. I have a 3.28 gpa w/ over 3,000 hours as an athletic trainer, EMT, and patient support technician over 250 volunteering hours, and over 200 shadowing hours with multiple MD's and PA's. Do you guys think I have a chance of being accepted? Thanks, Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine yesterday but I’m low on the list in the 40s. I am very confused if they abide by this then how will they even have an incoming class for 2020?? That means everyone gets in eventually? I was going to reapply in April... but if this is true then I’m not going to lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we who already went through the interview have already received a score. Those students who apply and interview in the next coming cycle will also be received a score like us. If you are in the 40s range waitlist, you will have the option to reapply to improve your score or keep your stand. The thought of all people in the waitlist will roll into official class years down the road is too good to be true and it is not fair for new students who wish to compete for admission. It is just my opinion. I am looking for verification with the admission committee regarding that statement. I am currently on the top 5 on the waitlist.

CASPAthefriendlyghost Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I called Rachel and left her a VM about the WL packet. I want to know about the whole WL rolling over to next term. I received the packet too and it said the same thing @PAhopeful85 stated earlier. I am low on the WL, but it would be nice for some clarification.

bbrewer Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 The waitlist packet is very confusing, it is all very congratulatory and it makes it sound like you have been accepted and it confuses me. I am like very low on the waitlist and the way it makes it sound is that I’ll be given a spot eventually? So will they not do interviews next year and just offer everyone on the waitlist a seat? I never heard of any other program ever doing that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard of any other program ever doing that That’s exactly what I thought. My dad read my packet and was like, “I like this letter, looks like they will eventually offer you a seat.” I’m like, “No, dad I’m low on the WL.” Unless we all eventually get accepted. It kinda gives false hope, if that’s not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stallion98 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Wasn't the call on 14th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkid789 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 No, I got the call on the 11th. That’s when they started making the calls. They just said that everyone would be contacted by the 14th. That’s when they sent out the waitlist emails. I believe that at least the first 10 will all make it into the class. I’m sure that others may follow, as the deadline for the deposit is 1/3 or 1/4. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
