So last Saturday, people who had interviewed already got an email that essentially said they keep a running rank of all of the students they have interviewed this season, regardless of when they interviewed, and that EACH WEEK they'll take some variable number of interviewees off the top of the list and accept them. The frustrating thing is there's no rhyme or reason to which day of the week they'll send acceptances or when they'll decide to take a week off; I think we've seen acceptances on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays on different weeks, so it really seems like they just send acceptances out whenever they feel like it. And to top it all off, Baylor seems like it's half-rolling, half-nonrolling in that it tries to keep seats open all the way to the end of the interview season (i.e. nobody interviews for a spot on the waitlist), so a LOT of people don't hear from them until March/April.
So the moral of the story is, don't get your heart set on any one week/day, because you're probably going to be disappointed, as Baylor just has no real pattern to acceptances. I got my call when I was completely not expecting it😛
Incidentally, Dr. Greenberg shows up as "Unknown" on caller ID, so make sure you pick those up for the next few weeks! 🙂
