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.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

jk, good luck everybody!

 

[Megatron2016]

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!

 

[ModerateMouse]

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.

 

[mdhopeful65]

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

 

[ialwayslose]

good luck everyone 😍

Good luck to everyone!

+1 Still haven't received an email of any kind...

 

[Megatron2016]

+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 🙂

 

[MadMadameMim]

+1 Still haven't received an email of any kind...

+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!

 

[orchestra]

It looks like they're staggering the emails then

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far 🙂

 

[kc1919]

No new emails??

 

[Tsiana]

Accepted 10:55 EST.

 

[jerzeboy231]

Accepted around 11:30 am. The emails are personalized, so that's probably accounting for the delay.

More personalized than just your name?

 

[jerzeboy231]

It contained a PDF attachment of our personalized acceptance letter.

 

[Tsiana]

They attach a letter, and the letter is personalized as well. Uploading probably takes time.

 

[NatrixCaelicola]

Soooooo...... Where do people fall in the alphabet? 🙂

 

[beckerism]

Hahah chillax. It will come in due time. Also waiting. 🙂

 

[badger8512]

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!

 

[Dr Callis]

Accepted at 12:17pm EST! Virtual Interviewee. Good luck to everyone else!

 

[soccerboy90]

WHOOO!!! ACCEPTED!!! Timestamp 12:06 p.m.

 

[Megatron2016]

Anyone have an inkling if the acceptances are going out in any order? alphabetical?

 

[Decis]

can anyone who got accepted post the first letter of their last name?; or preferably the most recent person accepted.

 

[Decis]

hi soccerboy, what's the first letter of your last name?

 

[Dr Callis]

h

11:27
last name before H

 

[uiowa2012]

The interview date might also be helpful/important.

 

[soccerboy90]

hi soccerboy, what's the first letter of your last name?

last name starts with G, interviewed Dec. 20th

 

[1q2w3e4r5t]

small sample size but seems to be a trend

 

[DISCOSTEW]

small sample size but seems to be a trend

lol good science. n=3

 

[Decis]

agree

 

[ywlke]

I have n=4 with a linear correlation of 0.9581 (some data from personal sources).

 

[Decis]

make that n=5, i have a personal source too that i didn't want to reveal

 

[NatrixCaelicola]

So we're thinking alphabetical order? If so I hate being near the end!

 

[themetalhawk]

itmight also have something to do with the date we interviewed....

 

[Fawn Leibowitz]

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.

 

[badger8512]

Could be by how they ranked us, couldn't it?
