Featured Ebook for February
The Nine Mistakes You Don't Want to Make on a Med School Waitlist.
An excerpt:
Mistake #6: Fail to assess or act on an assessment.
Let's face it: Being waitlisted means you're qualified. They want you,
just not as much as they want someone else. Since most schools evaluate
applications on a holistic basis, and admissions is a highly subjective
process, it is difficult to say definitively why someone is waitlisted,
but a waitlist decision results from a combination of the following
factors: A weakness in your profile, a mediocre presentation of your
qualifications, membership in an over-represented sub-group in the
applicant pool, or a combination of these factors.
If you want to know how you can address these factors and transform
your waitlist status into an acceptance, look on page 22-24 of our
featured ebook of the month, The Nine Mistakes You Don't Want to Make on a Med School Waitlist.

Admissions Tip
What You Don't Need to Know on a Waitlist
At this time of year, waitlist applicants obsess over previous years'
acceptance rates at the schools waitlisting them. Nervous, tense
applicants ask, "How many students at School X have been waitlisted and
then accepted? Is there a difference if I'm waitlisted earlier or
later? Are the GPA and test scores different for waitlisted
applicants?" And every year the obsession mystifies me.
For the life of me I can't see why those numbers are so important. Most
schools accept some students from the waitlist. The accepted students
are 100% in; the rejected students are 100% out. If your school last
year accepted 5% or 15% or 25% of waitlisted applicants, is that number
really going to change your behavior?
I guess if you need that data to determine whether you want to remain
on the waitlist, it's useful, but realize that last year's numbers are
not predictive. If the school has a higher yield than last year, the WL
acceptance rate will plummet. If it has a lower yield than last year,
the WL acceptance rate will climb.
Because waitlist stats lack predictive value, focusing on past WL
acceptance stats is a distraction. You should strive to make your case
for acceptance, your fit with the program, your case for your
qualifications.
If you need help making that argument, consider Accepted.com's waitlist advising and editing services or our waitlist ebooks:
