Hiii everyone! Submitted my app today and hopped on here and figured I'd create a forum for those applying to 2026 cohort! Good luck everyone 🙂

I hope not 😭

Ugh I feel like it was. I think it would be odd if they didn't call all the accepted candidates on the same day :(

Specializes in PICU.

Was it only Dr b calling? Or her & Dr d 

Specializes in CTICU.

I also can't imagine sitting there and calling 40 people one after the other though so IDK

Did anyone get a notification for the waitlist? Or was it only acceptances today?

it's only 25 spots tho isn't it? I also can't imagine they wouldn't call everyone in the same day🥲

It's 40 spots this year. 

Based on people's comments it looks they started calling around 5:30? Maybe even earlier and last call around 7 pm so I'm assuming they wanted to get it all done before graduation on Monday 😕

oh I thought they said only 25 spots. yea its not a denial but im not feeling very hopeful at this point 😭

Has anyone heard anything about if they are still making calls and when they might be making the calls?
