As we all sit here neurotically waiting by the phone - does anyone remember from the info sessions how they are changing their curriculum to an organ-system based curriculum? I can’t find any mention of this change online or on SDN, so I’ve started to think I hallucinated it lol. Anyone else remember that?

They are! My interviewer told me that it will basically be the culmination of a bunch of different changes that they've tried out in the past few years and next year's class will be the first to go through it!
 
Just got a call from my interviewer telling me I have good news coming and admissions decisions about to be released!

interviewed 9/21

oh gosh, now i'm feeling so incredibly anxious to hear back!
 
Just wanna remind everyone that based on past threads, these phone calls take days to roll out. Some may not even get one only a status update via email/portal. Some people may get calls today and some may be next week!!

All we can do is leave our phone volume on and buy some stress balls ;)

Bruh, I was in the middle of a med school interview and had my phone muted. But, my phone is connected to both my laptop and my phone, and I couldn't find the window on my laptop where it was ringing from. Massive L. took like 3 mins out of my interview and I had to apologize. I called the guy afterward and I was kinda pissed... in the middle of my message i see a text from the guy telling me I was accepted to Boston and I was like oh **** better delete and re-record hahaha.

Do we think calls could go out after 5 pm EST?
I wouldn't think so since it's outside of standard business hours but I wouldn't rule it out since the interviewers may be doing it on their own time? I'm going to tell myself they won't though so that I can stop stressing for the day.

Did you guys find out who your interviewer will be before the interview? If so, when did you find out?

Yes-when they email you the Zoom Link like a day or two before they also include your interviewer's name!
