Thanks! The letter was actually dated the 18th, so i'm guessing they're sending them out based on when your interviewer submitted the evaluation / appeared at the meeting. Best of luck to you guys

Not more than 5 subway stops away from Downstate. Maybe that accounts for a quick postal delivery...?Where do you guys live?

I wonder if he is in Washington Heights or Brooklyn Heights? I live in Morningside Heights, I hope to hear something tomorrow.

Yep, really close by in Brooklyn.
He could live in Crown Heights! Probably has the same postal carrier, even. Best of luck!
ACCEPTED! Just received the letter in the mail today!!!
Congrats!! I also interviewed 9/10. Hopefully i'll be hearing from them soon.
So apparently one of the prerequisites for matriculation is completing the American Heart Association's CPR course by July of 2013...does anyone know anything else about this? I just found this in my acceptance letter.
You can get it done in a day. I think my class was about 6 hours long, and they had a very short / easy exam at the end. It's actually pretty fun!
