I feel like today will be another day of calls/emails from interviewers unfortunately. I bet we'll get official emails tomorrow or Friday. I'm really hoping I get good news today, since it's my birthday. *fingers crossed*

Can you guys pleaseeee post your interviewer's name when you're accepted ?! That will seriously ease a lot of tension.

I also had Dr Caruso and have not heard of one person getting a call from her even during the preliminary acceptances back in January.
 
Accepted! Phone call from DC this morning - said official email/packet would arrive "soon."

Good luck to all those still waiting, fingers crossed for you!!

Seems like it's not gonna happen... Maybe they prefer not to because they feel they'll be identified somehow. Seems possible, I suppose.

I wonder if there are just so many interviewers that there is not that much overlap for the SDN pop. :eyebrow:
 
I know I wouldn't mind if I was the interviewer making calls and my name was posted.. just saying, please post names!

why are most of the accepted posted after business hours and not including who their interviewer was.
 
Maybe I'm over analyzing, but I think there will be a flux of calls lunch time and after 5 EST.

I believe that emails are probably expected on Friday.

Because interviewers are working and they want to wait to have time to make a meaningful phone call! :)

Received a phone call from Boston medical center today but missed it. Hoping that it would be an acceptance, I called admissions office and they said they don't know who called me. Thought it would be my interviewer (who works at BMC) and now I'm confused. :(

Why don't you try calling that number back, instead of the admissions office. I don't think your confusion is necessary.

Just as an FYI - Not all interviewers give calls to applicants. Additionally, interviewers may call just a few (if any) of the applicants they interviewed.

The phone numbers are masked... no matter who calls, it will show up on your phone as the same generic number.
 
i guess no one got called during lunch time? let's hope for a batch at 5!! I don't think I can wait until Friday to hear the verdict :nailbiting:.. having a hard time focusing right now :(

Relax. If you cannot think of any other reason why you have received a call from BMC, chances are it was from your interviewer with some good news!
 
Accepted via e-mail just now! Good luck to everyone still waiting!!

I had dr Holick and haven't heard anything yet. I don't think he called anyone in Jan either looking back at this thread.

I feel like this has to be said:

RELAX! You don't know what your interviewers life and schedule is like.

Was this for MD/PhD??? (He's the director)

Has anyone who was put on the defer-decision list for MD/PhD heard anything?
