i've been complete since 8/19 and haven't heard anything either. while it sucks, it's still better than a rejection and i imagine they are even busier now with sending out decisions. i'm not going to be concerned unless i don't hear anything by december.
 
I was complete exactly 10 weeks when I received my invite. I'd give it one more week. If you don't hear by next Friday, call and ask for a status. They're surprisingly receptive to phone calls given the huge number of applications they receive.

omggg dude, i just pictured the following:

- ring ring at door
- happy mailman hands me big red envelope
- happy mailman gives me thumbs up
- i rip open the envelope
- ribbons and a whole bunch of "surprise party" stuff flys out
- simultaneously get a phone call
- I pick up
- Mrs. Sullivan says CONGRATS DOC!

maybe they r planning that! that would explain the delay 👍👍👍

That would be so legit.

I interviewed here already, and I'd say my advice is try to relax and not worry about it. The interviewer asked me pretty standard questions (why medicine, why this school, etc), and our interview was very conversational. At least on my interview day, everyone interviewed with either a 4th year student or a faculty member. I stayed with a student so I can't really give any advice about a hotel. Oh and if you're flying in, fly to Reagan, it's a lot closer to the school than Dulles. Good luck!

Hey hopefully someone can clarify this for me: so, it's only one interview, with either a 4th year student or a faculty member, and not both? It just strikes me as odd that you might not have a faculty interview. Can anyone confirm this for me? Thanks!

Yes. Just one interview. Mine was with a very laid-back 4th year.

Just hope you don't interview with a PhD faculty member who doesn't give a rat's ass about medicine or you.
 
Wow interesting. Thank you both for the fast replies. And hopefully I won't get a disinterested PhD faculty member!
 
bought my first sportscoat today for the interview!! damn i look gud

While it's easy to generalize faculty (PhDs = disinterested; MDs = cuddly and warm), I think it depends much more on your interviewer's personality. Anecdotally: one of the best interviews I had was with a PhD; and at another school where the interviewers were "supposed" to be laid back, I was grilled with ethics questions. I guess the moral of the story is to be prepared for anything (good or bad!).

To upcoming interviewees... good luck! And to those waiting for final decisions... hopefully we'll hear something soon! 🙂
 
hopefully monday. just hold on a bit longer ppl!
 
just looked at website. "the first round of post-interview decisions will be released on or about 11/1". is this different than it was before? I really hope we hear back tomorrow..

that sucks, it definitely said "on 11/1" not "on or about" last time. they keep delaying it! there's no way the committee hasn't made decisions about september interviewees yet...
 
It's November 1st. Has anyone called yet?
 
Darnit. I interviewed September 8. I called in and they said I wouldn't be hearing back today. "Within the next week or two".

that sucks!! did the admissions office actually ask you for your name and amcas id to find that verdict or is that what's generally going to happen for everyone who interviewed after sept. 8?
 
just called and steven picked up. told me that they were sending out decisions this week some time.
 
Now would be a good time! They are driving me crazy, but i think my patience is improving astronomically.

My interviewer called me today and told me I got in, so decisions have been made and should be going out anytime now. I interviewed in late September.

email at 1:18 AM. REJECTED.

oh well. had a pretty awkward interviewer and didn't really get a good vibe from the school.....so that probably showed through my interview. best of luck to everyone else!

EDIT:

Interviewed early September. Post-interview decision made 11/2.

Congrats! Did they email you just now?
 
can someone post the link to the secondary log-in page? I searched for so long in my emails but can't find it
 
I think I got put on hold .. they said theyre going to reevaluate my ap later?
 
Waitlisted... can any1 message me sullivans email address
 
Waitlisted as well. Could anyone pm me Dr. Sullivan's email, or is it just the admissions email? I wrote down to email Sullivan, but I don't think I wrote down the right email.
 
for those waitlisted did you guys get the email about being reevaluated later? or was the waitlist email totally different
