Based on their numbers, I feel like everyone gets waitlisted? Anyone have any information on this? Unfortunately or fortunately, I have never heard of anyone getting right out rejected by Midwestern. On every wait-list, there is a ranking. But almost all of the school keeps it a secret. Hope for the best, but also focus on other schools. From the information given by previous years, they do not start contacting the top picks from the alternate list until sometime in February or March. If there is anyone with more information, please share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am kicking myself so hard for getting freaked out right now. Absolute heartbreak for me here Congrats to everyone that DID get in though! So are you guys saying that if under applicant checklist it has sections for required documents, required exams, and required prerequisites then you have been waitlisted? Can't find any info from looking back at old posts! I am honestly unsure what it looked like before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahopeful0113 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) I didn't receive a call today, but my portal populated "accepted student checklist" and I paid my deposit/signed all the necessary documents! They probably just ran out of time to call everyone today, so don't worry if you haven't heard from them!

Call them to confirm, but that’s what happened to me and I got waitlisted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyells Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Everyone who gets waitlisted should also be receiving an official letter in the mail that says you have been waitlisted. It should come within 2 weeks of your interview. If your checklist shows what prereq's you still need and no new applicant checklist then you have been waitlisted. If you did get rejected then you should also be receiving an official letter in the mail within 2 weeks of your interview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azprepa23 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I looked at last years thread and when someone called in January they had over 200 on the waitlist. So if they interview 15% of 2000-2500 applicants and accept ~100, sounds like they just put the rest on the waitlist. Maybe they feel bad rejecting people...haha. Guess all we can do is hope we’re towards the top! Everyone I met was so kind and I would be so happy to have you guys in my class wherever we end up going! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is everyone considered an “alternate” once they interview? Have we gotten a definite answer to that? I think everyone is an alternate... they had like 200 people on the alternate list last year and I think they interviewed like 300 and accepted around 100. And I read way back in the forums and didn’t see anyone getting rejected after their interview. This makes me feel bad though haha. Like being an “alternate” doesn’t mean much to me if 2/3 of the people who interviewed are also alternates. Don’t want to be a downer, because there is still a chance for the alternates but not as high a chance if it was a shorter list. I think they just don’t want to hurt people’s feelings by rejecting them. But I would also rather know if I’m moving to Arizona or not sooner than later lol.

Some MD or DO programs actually reveals this information. As an applicant, I want to know what are my chances and what I should do from this point.

PrePennsylvania Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Hey guys! Just a PSA. They do send rejection letters for those who interviewed. I just received one via snail mail, so time to focus on other interviews on the horizon! Best of luck everyone!
