Same here, I don't know how to set up a FB page. I thought I saw somewhere on last years forum that the previous cohort usually set's it up for the incoming class. Did anyone else see that? 

I saw it. I'll try and see if I can do it. I'll post the link once I do it. 

oop just saw that you are making one, nevermind!

Hi @angelnurse1004,

Did you get a confirmation email back when you stated that you would like to remain on the wait-list? 

Hi CTE!

I saw your message. It won't let me reply though but thank you for reaching out ?

Hey guys

I also got waitlisted. And so the waiting continues?

Hi all, 

My name is Kallan I am in the current Cohort for UCD MEPN. We as a cohort made a group on facebook for y'all to join to ask any questions etc. Congrats and excited to see you all in June! 

https://www.facebook.com/groups/5787508948033991/

Just got a confirmation about accepting my spot on the waitlist. Just wanted to share with everyone! 
The message also shares that "The waitlist consists of a small pool of selected applicants. These applicants are not numbered but will be considered for admission if a position in the entering class becomes available. If you are offered a position in the entering class, we will be in contact with you immediately. If you are not admitted from the waitlist during this admission cycle, you are encouraged to reapply for our 2024 cohort.”

fingers crossed yall

Hi ?? Congrats!  
I guess that means you were #1 on the list Lucky lucky!  What time did you receive the email?  And it's good to know as soon as someone turns down their spot they offer right away from the waitlist.  Thanks for the updated.  What other programs did you apply to?  And was this your first time applying to Davis?

Hi! I also got a confirmation email, from 2/28. Except the response from them was very different! I wonder why! This is the message I received: 

"Thank you for confirming your waitlist position with us. We are excited that you have decided to remain in our applicant pool! If your admissions status changes in any way, we will be in touch with you immediately. Please note that your waitlist status may remain until the end of June."

When did you receive your message from them? fingers crossed we all are able to hear back soon!
