No e-mail here. I'm dying - I must have been rejected. I just want to know - make it quick HMS!!

PS: If any of you who were accepted would like to share the date of your interview that'd be awesome!!
 
Aaahhh!! Congrats to all you amazing people!

Still waiting for a word back here... whew...

In! 7:34

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
Looking from last year's thread, it seemed like they released acceptances all in one day. Does anyone know if they were all sent at the same time or slowly throughout the evening?

Does it come out in waves, usually?

I feel like based on the number of people who have already gotten accepted, it doesn't look too good for those of us who haven't gotten an email yet. I mean, I suppose it's only 8 people, but if you assume they accept what, 180 people, and not everyone is obsessive an posts on SDN as soon as they get in... Too bad 🙁

I just looked at last year's thread and the admissions office claimed that acceptances would come out gradually over the week, but no SDNers found out after the first batch of acceptances.

Hey FlowRate can you clarify? Do you mean no SDNers were accepted after the first batch? So if we don't hear today, we are likely rejected or WLed?

Accepted NP! So stoked because this is my first acceptance and I was so worried about getting in anywhere. Interviewed 1/27.

A similar thing happened to me a few years ago, but it wasn't for Hahvahd. It illustrates how ridiculous this whole process is though...
 
It appears the rest of us are out of luck... I still have my fingers crossed for tomorrow though 🙂 Who knows, maybe they'll release another batch? I just want to know by the weekend...
 
I think they're all out - just heard from another person at my school that got in.

The rest of us probably will be hearing back soon, but don't get your hopes up too much, I guess. 🙁

Best wishes everyone!
 
A HUGE congratulations to everyone who is accepted! I was also accepted this evening and just created a Facebook group: Harvard Medical School Class of 2015

Feel free to join it so that we can all get to know each other better, share relevant information, etc.

I look forward to meeting you all soon =)

As far as I could tell, no SDNers were accepted after the first batch last year, even though HMS admissions said acceptances were spread throughout the week. I have the feeling that our news is not good. Still holding out hope for tomorrow.
 
Come on guys. No need to abandon hope for fear of being let down. We should all be damn proud to still be in the race. It's not over yet.
 
👍

I know I will be praying tonight for another batch of acceptances to come out in the morning! =)

Im dumb, whats NP?

there are two tracks to get an MD, one is NewPathway (NP) and the other is Health Science and Technology (partnership with MIT and Harvard). NP is the lesser prestige of the two.

Who cares? You're still a Harvard MD. The count is up to two now at where I am. A lot of celebration tonight!

I guess its good that we should all hear back tomorrow then, at least, given how many people knew today. Haha.

Seriously! You build your own prestige from your determination and quality of character. That person is obviously building upon a weak foundation.

Hey I remember you commenting on my thread about the Goldwater. If you don't mind, what undergrad did you go to? Doesn't have to be specific just wanted to know if it was a top 30
 
Maybe my email is broken and emails aren't coming through from harvard..... Oh what anxiety does to your mind

Congrats guys 🙂. Pretty sure that's it with the acceptance emails. I know too many people who got in for the rest of us to have a chance tomorrow. 🙁

Good luck with the rest of the schools everyone :luck:
 
Why does everyone assume that it's over now? Have some faith people if you haven't received anything then it's still up in the air. I'm usually a pessimistic person, but the fact is we still don't know if all acceptance letters were sent even if it seems like many people got their acceptance emails (maybe they're going in alphabetical order jk) we still do not know that there may be some left over for us.

Though, after all that I'm still not optimistic in my chances of getting an acceptance email, but as always "expect the worst and hope for the best"

+1. I'm an optimist, but I also try to stay realistic. Best of luck to everyone!
 
I have already sort of resigned myself to a waitlist/rejection at this point. Kinda sucks but oh well, the dream was nice while it lasted.
 
Edozie, unfortunately, I'm having the same experience. Is anyone brave enough to call Admissions and ask if all acceptances have been sent?
 
So, assuming that all the acceptance emails went out, does anyone know how they notify for waitlist/rejection? Do they do this by email as well, or through snail mail?

Not it. I'll probably cry to the person on the phone when they tell me theyve sent them all out :laugh:
 
I just made a call to the admissions office to ask "if all acceptances had gone out yesterday." The gentlemen nicely said, "no, they'll be going out next week."

Interesting, indeed.

Thank you!!

But they're going to make us suffer through the weekend! Not fair lol.

Congrats to some and best of luck to all 🙂
 
isn't that what they said last year as well? and no acceptances came after the initial round? sorry to be a downer.
 
edozie007 said:
OMG. I dont know what to believe now.

lol yea i dont wanna believe its over but i dont wanna keep the tiny hope alive with speculations.

This is where my love/hate feeling about SDN kicks in.

And the guy who responded seems not to know cuz he said they will be going out next week when they went out yesterday oh well im not reading much into the statement whatever the decision is Congrats to all HMS class of 2015!!!!!
 
I wouldn't get excited about this. I'm extremely doubtful, based on last years thread. Only waitlists/rejections came out after the one acceptane batch.
 
Yes, reading over last year's thread shows all SDN acceptance activity happening on the same day (although that was March 15th and this year was March 3rd), with no further reported acceptances after that. No one can know for sure, obviously. I'm sure 2011-2012 will be watching this thread intensely when it comes time for them to find out. Hello people from the future :laugh:

I could make a guess to say that the vast majority of us yet to be notified have acceptances elsewhere? It might do us some good to look at the programs/opportunities at those schools that inspire us, because bottom line is the same - we're gonna be doctors, baby! An acceptance is a victory, without a doubt 👍

Cornell your first choice?

I think it's one place one day and another place another day. I've recently been sending in fin. aid stuff to places I got into so that will help me once I start hearing back. There's also the other March'ers to wait for too so we'll see 😛
 
I'll be making my way to either UT Southwestern in Dallas or to Baylor in Houston. :meanie:

Cornell is a realllllllllllllly nice school, with lots of opportunities for research at sloan kettering and Rockerfellar, one of the best hospitals- NY Presbyterian, and in one of the most exclusive areas of manhattan. I’m not bias or anything, lol, but must say I’m a bit jealous 🙂 congrats

This is all I need to keep the hope alive. Who cares if it's Harvard? You guys have to keep believing until you see that e-mail from HMS Admissions!

Chins up, people! :luck:
