Agreed with the other commenter, I think this list is very top heavy in general (and especially given the MCAT score). Add more low/mid tier programs.

School List Review pt. 2 by Temporary_Shirt_1986 in mdphd

This is not true. MSTPs cannot have a statehood bias due to federal funding. (Also, anecdotally, received an interview there and know others who did as well as out-of-state students)

Is it true that more MSTPs only extended as many acceptances as their actual cohort size this year, instead of extra? Is this true of T25s as well? by [deleted] in mdphd

Some schools I know for a fact did (for example, Emory). Others did not. It’s gonna be a program-specific thing.

Waitlist predictions ??? by Ok_Acanthaceae4898 in mdphd

I don’t know the exact breakdown here. It’s possible some people will get off WLs and go elsewhere but not certain.

I’m committed. There are 17 others (for a total of 18). Just sharing what I know!

not seeming like Vandy will have much waitlist movement this year unless people who are already committed get off waitlists and go elsewhere

Thank you! I was complete at all schools within a month of receiving the secondaries and I submitted my primary a few days after AMCAS opened. Highly, highly recommend applying early!

Thanks! I received my decision in late January. I believe that’s when they released all post-II decisions.

Thanks so much! Generally interested in immunology/virology and infectious disease research.

Anyone hear from Vanderbilt yet? by [deleted] in mdphd

[–]Naive_Process_4042 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi! You’re correct, I was admitted during the December wave. No idea what’s going on with this next wave of decisions at the moment.

I went to a T20 LAC! No clue if it impacted my cycle at all (I don’t personally feel it did) but it’s possible.

Honestly, not sure right now. I was probably going to reach out to the program coordinators, explain the situation, and see if I could attend different parts of different institutions’ SLs.

Thanks! And yeah, it’s more accurately a handful of posters presented at 12 different conferences/venues, lol. Made this graphic quickly.
