Both, received an automated email letting me know.

Edit: Just to be clear, my "status" is unchanged. However under "Communications" there is the "P&S Admissions Decision," which is the email I got.

Do you mind if I ask when you heard this news?

Do you mind if I ask when you heard this news?

This was at 2/26 3:08pm. Not sure if this makes any difference. Folks in my boat already knew they were rejected, and folks still waiting will probably hear back on 2/28 or so.

1. Post by 1st yr med student who received email indicating that letters were dropped Monday. While I sincerely believe her/him, we don't know if office logistics actually allowed for the posting of mail on Monday

Hey guys sorry to break hearts (or maybe un-break hearts?) but I think my classmate made a mistake (not at all their fault!) and letters had NOT actually been sent when they posted that. I'm sure it will be happening soon, just don't freak if you didn't get a letter today. 🙂 You should all go get massages or something.

 

[yankees26]

do all interviewees get letters? or only those accepted?

Awesome, thanks! Out of curiosity, why do you think they made a mistake?

It is a pun. I happened to really like the movie, and it was the first thing that came to my mind when I made the account. Should I assume that you are a cheater, aka you cheated in school? No.

[JediOchoa]

I don't think Wolf is a troll. I also got the call yesterday from the same interviewer. Good luck to everyone else. I'm sure the majority of calls is still to come so don't freak out.

P.S. Congrats Wolf!

wow awesome! Great to see another acceptance. Just to clarify, the call was from Dr. Hutcherson?

 

[ReadyToRumble]

LOL Seems like I should have been the one to chime in with peacelovehealth's eager to see a brawl comment but I guess the irony would have been lost.

[Ambitionista]

...and my blood pressure goes right back up. hahahaha

@JediOchoa you mentioned Dr. H called you, was she also your interviewer?

 

[Can'tShakeThis]

And when was your interview date?

 

[asebasp]

And when was your interview date?

And what's your favorite color, just for good measure?

 

[Can'tShakeThis]

And what's your favorite color, just for good measure?

 

[asebasp]

Since I had the same interviewer I wanted to know if she was going in order. (If HH has already made calls, I'm feeling resigned to the wait list; just happy I've heard from other schools I love so the pressure is off a bit!)

But I would love to know all of your favorite colors too. Mines green!

Haha I'm just being facetious. I'm just as interested in their response but we all direly need some comic relief in these crazy times...


Edit: my favorite color is teal (where you at @obviouslyteal) or purple

 

[Trayshawn]

I WANT to share something here...but I'm afraid of adding any more tension. (Of course, I probably already just did.)

Do you mean you got a call? If so congrats!

And don't worry about the tension lol it's gonna be tense either way. Did you have the same interviewer as the other two?

 

[WolfofSDN]

Congrats!!!! @Trayshawn !!!

 

[asebasp]

Good talk.

 

[WolfofSDN]

can someone please enlighten us?

 

[Jcmil32]

More info please

 

[phylosopher]

So, I'll be watching for the mailman with binoculars today

 

[RocDiva4040]

Really @Trayshawn ?? How are you going to leave us hanging like that? That was so wrong

 

[corndogger]

hah, before coming back to this thread I was all zen and thinking "i'll hear when I hear". now my anxiety is through the roof!

 

[LVE]

I got a call today. Good news. My interviewer was MW and she called herself. Good luck everyone!

 

[abar]

Is MW her initials?

 

[wuzman]

Congrats!! I had MW as well, hope I get some good news my way

 

[wuzman]

LVE if you don't mind sharing when you interviewed? I want to see if she's calling in order?

 

[LVE]

LVE if you don't mind sharing when you interviewed? I want to see if she's calling in order?

I interviewed Jan 30. I think it would be quite hard to know if she's calling in order. My call came in at 8:04 eastern if that matters.

Is MW her initials?

Yeah those are her initials

 

[Jlcat]

any of these phone calls comment on when the portal would be updated?

 

[pwd88]

I got a call today. Good news. My interviewer was MW and she called herself. Good luck everyone!

Congrats!! Would you mind sharing with us your GPA and MCAT score? Thx

 

[surely]

Complete a million years ago, no interview. Received a kindly-worded rejection email today.

Good luck to everyone, sorry to make your heart jump by posting on the most tense day of the cycle!

 

[fhg]

Hoping that it will update today since pre-interview rejections have gone out (and they seem to have previously gone out at the same time as the rest of the decisions)...

[obviouslyteal]

hi guys! wow, what a flurry has happened over here. I should've known, sorry :/

so what I told you a few days ago apparently wasn't quite right, the office hadn't quite sent out the letters yet and it was a premature email that they sent to us, I just got excited. I shouldn't have released the information, my bad. I'm sure a lot of you called into the office asking as much and I think it caused some issues. I had good intentions in just wanting to let people know to expect some news this week.

On that fact I WAS right though, it seems like calls have started to go out which means everything else should follow shortly. Remember that not everyone gets calls, and it's random. It's up to the availability of your interviewer. HH is an interviewer but also a dean, so she makes calls to a LOT of people and just may not get to everyone on time. She is a very busy person, and that's just the way it goes.

What I did try to convey with my last post and I will try to convey again is that no matter what you WILL all hear very soon, it's almost over, and just enjoy it as much as you can! Best of luck to all of you and please stay calm!! no more calls to admissions, I don't want to get into any problems please, I was just trying to help y'all out 🙂

sending my good wishes to all of you for these next few days!

 

[RocDiva4040]

Thanks @obviouslyteal No problem. Do you know if they have sent the letters out by now?

 

[epascual16]

Did anybody here interview with Dr. Hoke?

 

[coug_96]

Just got the call! I don't feel comfortable sharing the name of my interviewer, but do know that they are calling today.

 

[asebasp]

Even though I actually really enjoyed my conversation with FL, I kind of wish I'd had HH or another more common interviewer right about now because I feel like FL doesn't interview many people...not sure how to feel about that or what that means regarding whether she's calling people or not

 

[abar]

Just got the call! I don't feel comfortable sharing the name of my interviewer, but do know that they are calling today.

Did anyone who has been called yet interview with doctor GL?

 

[peonypink]

Are letters being sent via snail mail or email? And will they be updating our status online as well?

 

[medicalhope]

Just got a call too! He said something should arrive in the mail today/tomorrow. I can look up his first name and give his initials when I get home. GL all!

EDIT: Interviewer is OG, nothing in the mail yet, hopefully tomorrow!
