I hope so! They did not mention it to my group on interview day, but so many people said Mr. Wallace announced March 5th at their interview.
I also looked through last year's thread and there were many false alarms about when letters and e-mails were going out.
Best of luck to everyone! I mentioned it earlier, but I honestly thought the applicants in my interview group were great. I kept thinking how I hope these guys (my interview group was all males) are my classmates next year.
Wow, I must say everyone is much more chilled out in this thread than the Harvard and Columbia threads on the night before possible decisions. Perhaps this reflects on the types of people applying here.

+1, although limited to the SDN subset. I'm sure there are plenty that applied to both schools and aren't on SDN.
Not that this is the least bit constructive, but emails went out last year at 3:30 PM EST
Good luck everyone, especially those waiting on acceptance #1!

I must admit, I am pretty nervous about the big day. 😳
The other interviewees all seemed to be super qualified, and I can easily see all of them getting in. 😛 Both Richard Wallace and the dean of admissions gave very moving speeches on interview day, and I didn't feel a passion equivalent to theirs at any of the other schools I interviewed at.

Let's see what the fickle finger of fate holds for us tomorrow. Good luck all!!!
good luck everyone

Just got an acceptance email! Sent just before 10:00 east coast time. Excited and thankful! Good luck everyone!
Accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to all those accepted!! Does anyone know if all acceptance emails are sent out at the same time or in batches?
What are all of your time stamps?
+1 Still haven't received an email of any kind...
nothing on my end either...there are a lot of people viewing this thread right now and relatively few people saying they received an email already. There is hope...maybe 🙂
+1 I would guess that at least some of the other 76 ppl viewing the thread haven't either? 🙄 Hoping that there's a lot more good news for the rest of us!

This ^^^. I have a bad feeling about not getting one though...
It looks like they're staggering the emails then
Congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far 🙂
Accepted around 11:30 am. The emails are personalized, so that's probably accounting for the delay.
More personalized than just your name?
It contained a PDF attachment of our personalized acceptance letter.
Soooooo...... Where do people fall in the alphabet? 🙂

distraction!
I've got a friend at DukeMed; he says they absolutely do personalize acceptances, and that's why it's an extended process. Good luck guys!
WHOOO!!! ACCEPTED!!! Timestamp 12:06 p.m.
Anyone have an inkling if the acceptances are going out in any order? alphabetical?

last name starts with G, interviewed Dec. 20th
small sample size but seems to be a trend
lol good science. n=3
So we're thinking alphabetical order? If so I hate being near the end!
itmight also have something to do with the date we interviewed....
It might be by alphabetical order, probably not interview date. I heard before 10:00 EST with an interview in early February. My last name is early in the alphabet.
Good luck to those who are waiting! I know it's really tough.
Could be by how they ranked us, couldn't it?
