It seems like 4-5pm is the usual time so I'd watch for an email around then.-

After way, way longer than 4-6 weeks, I finally got an acceptance haha 🙂
Accepted via email!
+1
But, the deferral email implied that we still have a good chance of gaining admission 🙂
So if we interviewed 1/7 and didn't hear back that is a rejection?
I am a little surprised. This was by far my best interview. My interviewer explicitly told me I would be a great addition and that he sincerely hoped to see me in August. This whole process makes no sense to me lol

Absolutely not. No news is no news. They just haven't gotten to a decision on your application yet. I think my decision took upwards of ten weeks.
Deferral is like a waitlist until they make final a final decision in March. So yes, kinda like a "continued' status.
Neither. Everyone hears news at the same time in March, and there's no waitlist until then.

Does anybody know around when in March when those of us on the deferral train should expect news?
March 1st last year, it's nonrolling. But I'm not 100% that it's that. It would be convenient, as that's a Friday.
Accepted via email yesterday evening! interviewed on Dec 10; secondary completed in Oct. Out of state applicant. This is my second time applying to medical school. I am just so happy that all the hard work are paid off. Congrats and good luck to the rest of you!
When is revisit weekend?
They told me it would be April 11-12!
Congrats on the acceptances, guys! Request to join our FB group! 🙂

Let me know how someone thinks about this.
So generally I would think that school would defer more people in the beginning than later because fsm would want to see all the interviewees so that they don't over accept, just in case they want more of later interviewees. So if you got a deferral pretty late in the interview cycle, don't you think you are at a worse spot than those who interviewed early?
So I guess it comes down to whether later interviewees are compared with all the previous interviewees or that they are compared within each block of interviewees for each acceptance cycle.

Overanalysis, sounds like SDN neuroticism to me. If you're deferred you'll be rereviewed this month and your final decision will be released in early March.
They probably will have one more batch of acceptances in a week or so for a few people, then the rest and all of the deferred candidates will hear at the final March decision. This is based on trends from last year's thread.
You get an $8 meal voucher and you can buy whatever you want at one of the cafeterias...well that's what happened on my interview day...
Same here.

When is second look?
Weird. I don't remember getting an email.
I called and asked for the second look dates in January. I'm a little upset that it's on Thursday and Friday because uhhhh some of us have to work. Couldn't they at least have done friday/saturday? I'm hoping that they'll send out a schedule soon so I can see if I can justify going or not.
Ahhhhhh!!
😕
Is this an "Ahhhhhh!!" for big news? If so, congrats 😀
Or is it "Ahhhhhh!!" for it being almost March? If so, I agree.
