I got an acceptance letter today. I'm OOS

For those in the future who may look back on this thread, do not purely rely on stats to decide whether or not to apply. Work really hard on your essays and prepare for your interviews. Demonstrate that you have a passion for medicine and really want to help underserved people.
 
has anyone had any luck sending updates to Emory/ do you know if they accept them? thanks!

Congratulations everyone!! I'm assuming you all interviewed prior to 10/25... I wonder whether this massive delay will impact the release of decisions on 11/25... any insight?
 
Empty mailbox. Bummed I didn't get in this round, but excited I get to continue checking my mail everyday!
 
So if we didn't get in this round, does that mean we are put on a continued status where we are reviewed every time the ADCOM meets, or can we expect this to mean a waitlist?

We'll be reviewed in every committee meeting. Keep hope alive! I'll probably send an update if I don't get in this next round.
 
Looks like Thanksgiving (or the mail date right before) came early! Congrats lazywindmill!

I'm certainly aware of that, haha. Last year, though, some people got acceptances BEFORE the announced mailing dates, so I just wanted to double check! Although seeing how delayed this last round was, who knows what'll happen...
 
i see so would this be the 1st and 2nd rounds of interview? Also approximately how many rounds does Emroy interview per cycle? Would love to come for this program, especially the 5 month discovery period sounds really awesome!

Definitely just ran down to my mailbox at 2am...nothing lol
 
I am out of state and I received a call. I interviewed 10/25. I am assuming that the second round of acceptances will go out on the 25th. I think I just happen to have been lucky and someone called me to inform me prior to receiving the acceptance letter. the voicemail noted that the decision was made by the committee today, so am assuming am part of the second batch.

Congrats, and thanks for giving me hope!!! :clap:
 
Hey guys. I have an interview here in a couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me what its like? I see on the email I got that there is group interview? Whats that all about? Just hoping for some insight. Thanks.
 
Any other MD/PhD applicants in here? I've been complete since 10/14 and have yet to hear anything. Anyone else in the same boat?

I am not an MD/PhD applicant, but I have a friend who was accepted to the MSTP program at Emory. He said they took the longest to get back to him out of all the schools he applied to.

Edit: He applied last cycle.

Ah, okay, thanks for the note. That helps me relax a little for the time being 🙂
 
Anyone else's application complete around 9/16 but no II yet? Losing hope...
 
Emory is awfully slow and they invite people to interview in January despite being complete in August.

Yep, complete 9/10 here. Emory is actually one of the schools that doesn't stress me out as much, even though it is in my top 5. Unlike most schools, there is no webpage to check your status and (as I understand it) they generally call you for interviews so you don't have to worry about constantly checking your inbox. On top of all of that they don't accept pre-interview updates so I know that there is absolutely nothing I can do. Of course, this isn't going to make getting rejected any easier ... 😛

This. Emory is really slow. Look at Ambitionista; normally, she's got a II in a few days, but with Emory, it took nearly two months! ;P (I'm just picking on you, Ambitionista! 😉 No harm intended! You've seriously been rocking this cycle!!!! Congrats! )
 
Congratulations!! That's incredible. I actually interviewed on the same date haha. Sooooo anxious.... Mind saying when the letter was postmarked/what state you are in?

Thank You. The letter was dated 11/25 (didn't see a date on the actual envelope telling me when it was mailed). I live in Maryland so not too far away.

Hahaha I'm just now seeing this! Yes, this is true. So far, Emory has taken the longest to get back to me. Others that I know have waited 2-3 months as well. There's still hope!

And thanks! I really appreciate it 🙂
 
Has anyone received an acceptance packet lately? It seems like acceptances from the November 25th date should be starting to arrive...
