Acceptable, Waiting, Approved, or Alternate? |
What are
these, and what do they mean?
Referred to below as The List, "Acceptable List," "Waiting List," "Approved
List" and
"Alternate List" are used interchangeably to refer to applicants who have been
interviewed and been deemed suitable for admission by Committee review.
At later Committee meetings, newly interviewed applicants are added to The
List, and varying numbers of applicants on The List are offered admission. In
this way admitted applicants are always selected from the pool of all
applicants on The List, and places in the class are available for those
interviewed later in the cycle.
** A Word to the Wise: **
Just in case the call comes ...
. Have $250 in the bank for your deposit fee, and
. Have your FAFSA done.
Does being on The List mean that I will get in this year?
No. Being on The List does NOT guarantee admission this year or some later
date. Within a matter of weeks on The List, some are admitted.
However, many must reapply, and some are never admitted.
If I was on
The List last year, does it mean I will get in next year?
No. See one up.
When will I
hear something?
It could be as late as registration. Fortunately (or the opposite) it is not
unheard of that a student will relinquish his or her place at the last minute,
in which case someone on The List will get the call to come to medical school
!!! Once registration has occurred, or if a decision is reached before that,
you will receive a letter from us.
However, if you are first on The
List we will call and tell you so. That way you can be prepared in case
you get admitted at the last moment. In the event you are not admitted, and as
a consolation for your disappointment, your acceptance into the following
year's class will be automatic provided you meet all deadlines for that year.
If I'm on The List and don't get in, do I have to go
through AMCAS again?
Yes. All new and reapplying applicants must apply through
AMCAS.
When should I reapply?
You should hope for the best, but plan for the worst. By June 1 it might be
wise to rework and update your application so that it can be submitted in
August if necessary.
Is there something/anything I can do while I'm on The List?
Because applicants are admitted at various times, it behooves you to update
your application file by sending recent achievements, recognitions, relevant
activities and/or accomplishments.
Also:
. Have $250 in the bank for your deposit fee, and
. Have your FAFSA done.
Every
effort will be made to update the information contained on these pages as
necessary. However, it is the responsibility of the user to determine that he
or she is relying on the most current version of any particular information.

Admissions at shvadm@lsuhsc.edu
