I called today to ask when I could expect to hear back (I interviewed in early January). They said next week. Disappointing.

 

[alisat1]

seriously Sinai, they've been telling people different things about when the results would come out like every day.

 

[Kalyra]

Gahhh, the thought of waiting through another weekend then repeating this past week's suspense is just brutal... Thanks for calling and letting us know what you heard though - at least I know to give up for today.

Lots of people going to Cali and staying in NY this year. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone.

congratz

congratz

Thanks although I wasn't the one matching.

 

[Nymphicus]

That's a nice list.

Seems to have a pretty strong NE bias, whether by choice or regional reputation.

 

[emilyschmemily]

Update: decisions will be sent out this Wednesday!

(I couldn't resist calling the admissions office today. They are so nice considering how many neurotic pre-meds like me they must be dealing with...)

 

[schoolboy84]

They told me Tuesday. hmmmmmm

 

[nuance]

They told me Tuesday. hmmmmmm

Did they tell you that today or last week?

 

[emilyschmemily]

They told me Tuesday. hmmmmmm

Hmm, I don't like that trend. When did you call?
I hope it's Tuesday. Maybe they're planning on Tuesday, but just told me Wednesday to ensure that I wouldn't bother them tomorrow in case they don't end up sending the decisions out, haha.

 

[schoolboy84]

Called just after two.

 

[schoolboy84]

Called today, just after two

 

[Southern girl 4]

Called today, just after two

Do you know if they send their decisions by email?

 

[nuance]

Do you know if they send their decisions by email?

Yes they do, and it seems to usually come around 11am EST.

 

[Southern girl 4]

It could be today then...

Interviewed in January.

Good luck to everyone!

Only one today? Does Sinai usually send decisions over multiple days?

 

[geass]

Received acceptance email at 1:03PM (west coast time).

Good luck to all those waiting.

 

[eHombre]

Oh man, you all serious?






(j/k, congrats everyone! )

Congrats!!! And me too!!! I was also totally surprised! Today was the one day for the past two weeks where I wasn't expecting to hear from them. This has been my top school for such a long time! I heard from them at 4:03 EST as well, and I interviewed mid-February.

Good luck to everyone!!!

 

[canibeadrplease]

hmm, so do rejections or waitlists usually come out later than decisions?

At the last decision day, alternate list notifications came out shortly after the acceptances:

They have done that in the past, yes

 

[Panela]

Accepted today! Email, 4:05 Eastern. Wahoo. Does anyone have the link to the facebook group or know if there is a second look weekend??

 

[capn jazz]

maybe they just got tired of sending out emails and are going to accept the rest of us tomorrow?

 

[Schemp]

Just got an email that I'm on the waitlist. Not what I was hoping for, but I'm still hopeful. Mount Sinai is definitely my top choice.

 

[Omega3MD]

Rejected. Damn.

 

[alisat1]

Rejected. Damn.

same, kind of wasn't expecting it. *sigh*

 

[painterly]

Waitlisted seconds ago. So it goes.

 

[capn jazz]

waitlisted a few minutes ago.
i wonder how the waitlist works at sinai? :-/

 

[schoolboy84]

Alternate list....... With a letter coming in two weeks on how to hold my spot on the waitlist.....
OK. now what?

 

[SouthernBelle12]

Waitlisted as well And the waiting continues...

 

[eHombre]

Waitlist. Better than nuthin.

 

[nuance]

Waitlisted as well. Sigh. I already sent a LOI (intent) about three weeks after my interview, too. Meh.

And because I like to explain my emotions through gifs:

this was me when I saw people received acceptances and I hadn't: http://thechive.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/82300927.gif?w=230&h=145 (warning bad language)

and then this was me when I got home after getting the waitlist email:

this post is amazing and exactly how i felt too!!
sinai is my dream school too.
hopefully the waitlist has some movement this year!

 

[Shikaka23]

Does anyone know when they usually start pulling from the waitlist? Any chance at all before May 15th?

Also, is the waitlist ranked or tiered?

I just talked to a lady in the admissions office and she said the waitlist is ranked and no movement will occur until after May 15. But we can send letters of interest/update letters as well, so I'm not sure how they play into everything if it is already ranked.

 

[endworldhunger]

Did you try asking for your rank ?

 

[SouthernBelle12]

Did you try asking for your rank ?

Yes, but she said that the AdCom keeps that secretive and doesn't share it with the front office staff. I would kill for an acceptance here!

 

[schoolboy84]

Is there a second look day?
