    What are the chances of getting off a waitlist at this point?

    As someone who is/has been on waitlists, DON'T WAIT TO SEND IN YOUR ACCEPTANCES! Send them in as early as possible so both the school and the people on the waitlist can make their final decisions!

    Not to bum everyone out, but I don’t think being waitlisted for interviews is very likely for many programs. Programs interview sometimes 2x more people than they send offers to, and send offers to more people than they expect will matriculate. They have waitlists for after the interview in case their yield is too low than they expected. 
     
    My heart goes out to all who didn’t get interviews, but just know that it’s not personal and this cycle is much more competitive than any other year, sometimes these things are just a cr*pshoot.

    I’m not so sure about this. I was under the impression that most admissions committees (for PhD at least, med school is a completely different story) really only care about research experiences and academics. Science outreach/teaching always is a bonus but not necessary, and I dont think much weight is placed on participating in unrelated extracurriculars themselves. Maybe they could help illustrate how you might work as a scientist, (eg athlete-> hardworking) but I don’t think they are necessary for admissions into a top program. Just my (possibly incorrect) take ?

    I am pretty sure Harvard PiN sent everything before the break (they usually do)

    They’ve set up group chats/communications with all 54 interviewees and the interview is in 2 weeks, I’m fairly certain they’re done. Sorry
