[annabanana1690]

Interviewed 11/19...thought it went really well, interviewed with Dr. Witzburg...still waiting to hear.
Did anyone who interviewed with him get a call?

 

[memed]

i dont get it, why are decisions goin out so early?

 

[CaliBalla]

Also, I'd like to know if all of these acceptances have been by phone call? No one has received status updates or snail mail huh?

Just a phone call so far, no status update.

 

[MDtheMD]

Anyone get a call from Dr. Vaughan?

 

[stay gold]

For those accepted, would you mind posting some stats?

Anyone get a call from Dr. Vaughan?

Haha, I interviewed with her as well. Felt like I tanked the first half as she grilled me, but did better on the second. I get the feeling she isn't the type to make personal phone calls with her schedule *shrug*

I interviewed with her as well. Definitely the most aggressive interview I've had of the season. Haven't heard anything yet either.

 

[bonoboMD]

Accepted! Interviewed in early October, got a call from my interviewer, Dr. Gasgupta (prof of Genetics) yesterday and a follow-up email yesterday as well. For some rough stats see my mdapps profile. For more detailed stats PM me. Good luck to everyone else!

[MDwoman]

Anyone who interviewed with Dr. Caruso heard back yet?

Thanks!!

 

[CaliBalla]

How about Dr. Cole?

 

[lxz]

Interviewed with Dr. Offner. No news.

 

[reca12]

I also interviewed with Dr. Vaughan and haven't heard anything. She was one of the tougher interviewers I've had this year. There were definitely a few questions I could have answered better in hindsight.

 

[tikvah2012]

Just received an acceptance email from Dr. Balady.

I guess yesterday wasn't the only day to receive acceptances!

 

[IntelInside]

Just got the email from Dr. Balady...ACCEPTED!!!!

 

[arallahmenorah]

I interviewed with Dr. Cole the same day as you, CaliBalla, and have yet to hear anything

 

[Bambino]

Just received an acceptance email from Dr. Balady.

+1. For those still waiting, according to last year's threat there were people who didn't get an email/phone call and just got an alert status from the busm application website. Best of luck

 

[chemistryguy]

Has anyone else accepted got an email or something other than a phone call?

I just checked my status and saw that I was deferred. Looks like decisions are posted!

I have this too, perhaps they're posting by last name, since mine is close to the end of the alphabet. Who knows? Either way, we'll all know in a week or so...whew. So close yet so far...!

I found out that I was deferred via email.

I received an II 2 days ago and the two dates they had available 1/25 or 1/30 and I was complete on 9/16! So for many of you waiting to hear back, there's still hope! 🙂🙂
