Did the waitlist emails state anything specific about how the waitlist works ? Ie ranked or they revisit applicants as spots open up?

Do you think it would be reasonable for me to email or call their admissions office and ask for an update? I interviewed in the first interview group back in early July and haven't heard a thing since! I don't want to be super annoying and pushy about it but I would like some sort of update!

I’m in the same boat as you! I interviewed first block in June... feeling like if we haven’t heard back it could be anything still... also wondering if the waitlist email at 10am eastern time will come for me at my PST 10am 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do mention replying if you are not interested in being placed on the waitlist so that other students can be contacted, so it sounds like it is possible you still have a chance of being waitlisted even if you didn't hear anything today.

U1U2U3U4 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Does anyone have any idea as to how many people are usually taken off the waitlist or when? Or how many were last year/the year before? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how many were last year/the year before? I think it really varies. Two years ago, there were people getting pulled off the waitlist just 2 weeks later, but last year people weren't pulled off the waitlist until a month or two later. Unfortunately, I think we just have to wait and hope that people decline their seat soon enough. Sadly, since Tufts is such an awesome program and an early start I can't imagine too many people giving up their seat - but still fingers crossed for us all!

carleton Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Will be dropping my seat for someone else on the waitlist! Loved Tufts and everyone in the program truly adores it, but ended up going with another school that was just a better fit for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prepa6282020 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I'm thinking the earliest we might see people come off the waitlist is after Nov. 2nd because on the waitlist decision letter it said we had up until Nov. 2nd to respond if we wanted to be added to the list. Im not positive but just a thought! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just the 2 weeks/ however many days to make the deposit and then they can pretty much give up their seat at any point until the start of the program?

CAprepa Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 How likely is it to get off the waitlist for the PA/MPH program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering the same -- I think they usually take 7 students, but in past years they have taken up to 10 into the dual program - it just depends if they want to have a smaller regular PA route group for next year or not I also think that even if you applied to the dual degree program, you can still be considered for the regular route too!

I had previously emailed the admissions office with this same question asking if the dual degree PA/MPH spots get filled will the candidates still be considered for the PA only track and Sarah's answer was "Unfortunately no. PA/MPH applicants are only considered for the PA/MPH program. If you have any other questions, please let us know." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yikes that is terrible news lol that just drops the odds of being pulled off the waitlist immensely, I am quite doubtful that anyone in that program would decline their seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
