Is there a list somewhere of which schools silent reject and which reject immediately after application review?

Georgetown also rejects in waves. Personal experience unfortunately.Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Duke all wait until the end of their app cycle to reject
Stanford, Hopkins, Cornell, Penn, UCSF, Vanderbilt, and Pitt reject in waves
This is not a comprehensive list, just what I could think of off the top of my head.
I wouldn't exactly call Georgetown's rejection process silent though.Georgetown also rejects in waves. Personal experience unfortunately.
I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. A lot of schools either send out rejections in waves or will reject anyone who didn't get an interview sometime in the spring. By silent reject do you mean schools that won't send you a notification at all? Or do you mean schools that won't until the end of the cycle.
I personally took it to mean the schools who give you no information one way or the other after your secondary is complete and just kind of fade away without telling you that you're rejected.What is the definition of silent rejection? I initially thought silent rejection = no news after last interviews given out.

Well I didn't consider that since I didn't get an interview last yearSo does it mean that silent, post-interview rejections don't exist?

Some of these schools don't send rejection letters at all to some people, which is what a silent rejection has historically been considered. So some of these that WedgeDawg listed are silent, at least some of the time. Stanford definitely doesn't always reject via letter or email.
I actually might have ended up silent rejected from Stanford if I hadn't withdrawn, but I know people who got rejected earlier, so I assumed it was in waves - could definitely be wrong though!
I don't know how aacomas schools do it but so far the amcas ones have been straightforward about their timeline. I turned in my aacomas a little bit later than amcas but around the same timeline, I'm expecting their communication to be delayed since their cycle is wider. The communication is getting very lengthy due to it becoming a busy period of time but overall, schools that are burdened have been sending emails regarding how long it'll take them to reach a decision. It's weird how I have to assess silence currently cause there are people getting tons of IIs and then there are those with none (so like what's going on lol).I specifically rembering NYIT. Touro told me in May. Cooper Rowan never got back to me. I don't remember the rest tbh. Maybe I was a bad applicant.
+1. AAMC should make a rule to have schools to send out official decision letters to justify their application fees.I applied last year and got no II and no response at all from most schools. Very disappointed and very disrespectful from schools in my opinion. You shouldn't be allowed to charge us for a primary and secondary and not send us a lousy email saying sorry your not in.

Medical school admissions offices don't owe you or anyone else closure. You're playing their game, not the other way around. To call it disrespect is a bit much.

I got a rejection from LECOM-B pre-interview this past week or so, so my guess is that they send them in waves.Stony Brook University sends out in waves....I don't know if you also are including DO schools, but Campbell University rejects in waves as well, but I've heard from many that LECOM does silent rejections
darn that makes me feel sad!!Jefferson is literally the definition of silent rejection.
Ohh ok.I wrote that based on my experience last year. They rejected me post-secondary, pre-II.
