Those who have not received acceptances as of Dec 1 will continue to wonder what their chances are for acceptances if the interviews are scheduled after the magic date. The information was obtained from www.predents.com and it shows acceptances as a function of month of interview. The majority (76%) of those accepted in 2009 had interviews before Dec. 1; the results are not much different from those seen in 2008. While 24% of the acceptances resulted from post Dec 1, 71% of these interviews were in the months of Dec and Jan. Including February, the percentage jumps to 95%. It should be clear, that the clock is ticking and that the chances start to decrease dramatically. Though not included in this analysis, the ratio of interview/acceptance is quite different for the pre and post December interviews. It should be noted that even ds with application deadline in February have pretty much completed their class with pre December interviews with the exception of Tufts, Mercy and Boston. Extrapolating for the remaining population of enrollees is risky since the predents population is neither a random sample nor a representative sample of the ds enrollee pool. Moreover, little can be gained for some ds where the response is minimal such as UMKC, GA, WVA, Miss, Meharry and NE.
