Pre II R, sent an update a few days ago in hopes they might delay the inevitable R

 

[altblue]

Gladly joining the R train lol.

Thought it was a decent fit even with slightly lower stats. Ah well

 

[arfy123]

Hi Guys, was hoping someone could help me out. I was waitlisted at sinai and wanted to send them some updates. Should i do that through the portal or email someone at the admissions office? Or should I do both? Thanks!

 

[futureFormerChild]

just got the R, knew it was a reach but had ties to the school :/ good luck to everyone else!

 

[Mariokart101]

[hannakm]

Anyone else complete in late July who is still waiting in dead silence? lol

 

[YKZ1418]

Pre-II R on a Saturday morning. Complete mid Sept.

 

[pauliepauliepaulie]

Also Pre-II R just now. I'm curious -- how are rejection emails sent? Are they just automatic emails from the portals? Why do some get rejected on Friday and why some get the R just a day later on Saturday?

 

[itsalwayssunny96]

Pre-II R this morning, was expecting this one. Complete mid July

 

[labscience]

Also caught the R on Saturday, why do they feel so much meaner on weekends?

 

[meronebib]

Withdrew my acceptance. Good luck to all of you waiting!

 

[DrFortiusNatando]

Withdrew my acceptance. Good luck to all of you waiting!

And that is really great that someone will likely get in off WL with plenty of notice to make their plans....

Does anyone know if the PORTAL Program is something we need to apply for before matriculation? I got the research opportunities email from Sinai recently and thought it looked super interesting!

"Applications to PORTAL will be accepted from our first-year students. Successful applicants will begin the program during their second year at ISMMS."

Sweet! By any chance, do you know how competitive the process is?

 

[Arrp213]

Sweet! By any chance, do you know how competitive the process is?

I'm pretty sure like half a dozen people get in

 

[nerdnation]

Accepted!!!

Just got an acceptance email about half an hour ago from Valerie Parkas ([email protected]). Interviewed on 1/22. Best wishes to anyone waiting. For accepted folks, curious if there’s a Facebook group or something out there?

 

[radoncwannab]

Waitlisted, interviewed 2/7

 

[ar1514]

Got put on the alternate list, interviewed January. Does anyone know if that's different from the general waitlist?

 

[ErlichBachman]

Same. Is there a difference even?

 

[Zathric]

[mr.blamf]

Waitlisted. Interviewed early Jan. Not surprised, but I just wish I could have closure from this whole process.

 

[zbda08]

Waitlisted just now, interviewed 1/30. I expected this, yet I'm still sad. lol

I feel exactly the same way Anyone know what are the odds we get off this alternate list?

 

[mr.blamf]

Got put on the alternate list, interviewed January. Does anyone know if that's different from the general waitlist?

I don't think so, given that on portal the tab says "Waitlist."

 

[nycfutdoc]

Accepted!!! So pumped. Interviewed at the end of January.

 

[ErlichBachman]

So does anyone have an idea about alternate list movement? Is it a soft R or do they actually take more than a few people?

 

[goose144]

Anyone know when the accepted student's day is? Website doesn't list the date

 

[echogecko]

Anyone know when the accepted student's day is? Website doesn't list the date

They sent an email about it, it's March 8-9th, there's a form you need to fill out to RSVP

 

[goose144]

got it, thanks. I guess if I just got in yesterday, they haven't gotten around to sending me it.

 

[Figaro10]

Are they sending out more waitlists this year given the lack of multiple acceptance reports or is it just me??
