Keith0147 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Any idea how many waitlist slots there are, and how many waitlisters got called up last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know there is no set number of waitlist spots. I got waitlisted in June after the first round of interviews and they have added more people each round since. I know at least three people were taken off the waitlist last year, but obviously who knows what it will look like this year. I called my advisor and he was very helpful in answering my questions but it looks like they can’t say much when it comes to waitlist timeline/ chances. Hang in there, the waiting is tough! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiceprepa Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I check the 2020 online FB group. There are about 41 people in there right now. Assuming all of the accepted applicants joined and they are expecting a class of 70, that means there is only about 29 spots left!! OMG, good luck everyone!

We currently have 42 members on our FB group as of this AM however 2 people on there are current students. Also I believe there are a couple of people who have been accepted who do not have Facebook at this time. But still plenty of room!!!! Good luck! Be fierce in your interviews and come get these spots! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVZ2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hi everyone, Congratulations to all who got accepted and courage and hope for those who were waitlisted. For those who were rejected, all I can say is " I'm so sorry and keep your chin up" I cannot imagine how upset you are, I know you have must worked very hard. I am so amazed of such an incredibly supportive and talented group. I would be very blessed if I get the opportunity to join this cohort. I cannot wait to start my PA a studies and I very much hope it is with all of you. Yale has such an amazing curriculum and they love giving back to the community. My advisor said it would take maybe 5-6 weeks for them to make a decision on an interview invitation so I have been trying to not check this forum constantly to keep my nerves down a bit. Best of luck to everyone! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAHopefulMina Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hi everyone! Congrats to all of you rockstars that got in! My heart is so happy for you. Unfortunately, I was rejected without an interview (insert sad violin music here). I have a question...Out of all who were accepted, how many of you took the Casper exam? Initially I had scheduled to take it, but then cancelled as I was in the middle of a hectic move from CA to TX. I’m wondering if a heavy emphasis is placed on the exam and if I shot myself in the foot by canceling it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to determine how much it is factored, because we never see our results. That being said good luck to you! I'm sure you'll end up exactly where your supposed to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering if a heavy emphasis is placed on the exam and if I shot myself in the foot by canceling it Hey! Soooo sorry to hear that! Keep your head up and keep pursuing your dreams! They will come to fruition. As far as I know everyone I have spoken to took the Casper exam. There is quite a bit of emphasis on it but with Yale having a holistic approach (and trust me they practice what they preach!) if that test was the deciding factor they would have reached out. I’m sure that isn’t what you want to hear but you shouldn’t beat yourself up over one test. I’m sure you are looking for answers so my recommendation would be to step away from your “view” on your app and try to look at it objectively to figure out where you think you should try to improve it, say, if it was my app instead of yours. Also, something I told myself and my friends who applied was that anything that says “recommended” should be read as “required”. Hope that helps! You are going to be an awesome PA! Let me know if you need anything. I live in TX too! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you need anything. I live in TX too! Thank you for the words of encouragement! I will definitely be making some changes this year to strengthen my application for next cycle, as well as take the CASPer. Deep inside I had a bad feeling when I canceled it, but since it wasn't "required" I thought my application was strong enough to stand on its own - biggest mistake ever. Your post helps a lot, thank you again and congrats on your acceptance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, where did you see that they are only accepting 70 applicants this cycle? On their website, it says every year their cohort sizes are increasing with the 3rd cohort having 156 seats.

During the webinar it was stated that they have been approved to accept 156, however they have only increased their acceptances to 72 for the 2021 cohort. So, I'm sure they'll slowly continue to increase that number. That's a good thing! Atleast, I think so. Hope this helps @biopsyd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx808 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Does anyone have the email address for Brian the advisor? I received an email that 2 of my pre-reqs need to be verified and I have sent that in but am worried about timing. Yes, I realize that is my fault for deciding to apply late. I just assumed that my biochem class would fulfill the biochem requirement so I'm a little confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm in the same boat; tomorrow will mark exactly 2 weeks since my second interview, and every minute feels like an hour. I am trying to stay positive, but like @ScullyAMA stated, I'm sure a lot of applicants do not use the forum. If I hear anything tomorrow, I'll keep everyone posted. Fingers crossed for good news!
