Fellow future HMS classmates! I currently live in the Longwood Medical Area and am searching for a female roommate! Rent is ~$600/mo, 7 min walking distance from the HMS campus/TMEC/Vandy, lease period: May 1, 2014 - Apr 30, 2015. PM me if you are interested!
 
I interviewed for NP but was rejected mstp pre-interview. Do you think that may have caused a delay in my email or that I have no shot? 🙁 (I.e, my email would come out with the mstp and np applicants?)

Or does anyone know when waitlist emails come out?

EDIT: And many many many congrats to the acceptees: rock on 😉

Waitlist HST
Rejected MSTP :nono:

I'm happy the cycle is almost over!:claps:
 
First post ever just to say ACCEPTED NP at 12:37 PM Central. I was completely floored.

I want to say - to all future applicants - anything is possible. I don't have astronomical stats like most people on here (MCAT low 30's, unbalanced; average GPA for HMS), but do have other things going for me. The point is, don't doubt yourself through this process. It is tremendously taxing and disappointing and it is easy to feel like nothing will work out in the end. But anything can happen and I am living proof of that!

To those who were not accepted, I am sure you have plenty of great options to choose from. In the end, you will all become great physicians who treat patients and push the boundaries of medicine. Rock on and don't look back.

See you at revisit!
 
At this point, I'm thinking I've probably been rejected or waitlisted at best.

To everyone who is in this boat with me, just remember that even Dicaprio doesn't have an Oscar (and he gets a shot almost every year). That is to say that a lot of times the "limiting reagent" isn't talent, hard work, or deservingness, but number of spots and a little bit of luck.

Anyway, we can't really be too disappointed. We effing interviewed at Harvard! We can tell our grandkids about this! lol
 
Has anyone seen their admissions decision on the secondary website?
 
In case this helps anyone, I got my NP acceptance at 1:37pm. I have seen any status change yet though.
 
Anyone who interviewed HST-only hear anything back?

Yes(about a dozen posts above). I was invited to both, but declined the NP interview and only interviewed HST
 
Congrats to everyone who interviewed here. Whether accepted, waitlisted, or rejected, you endured an unusually long and tortuous process to perhaps the most selective school in the world.
 
Congrats to everyone accepted! Now lets withdraw from those other school so I can can off some waitlist, eh? But for real though, congrats to everyone on such a great accomplishment and fulfilling your dreams!
 
Just got an NP-only waitlist. Email was time-stamped for 4:15 p.m. Anybody know if there is ever any waitlist movement?

I actually hear that you've got a really good shot if you're on the waitlist 🙂.

No idea... Would have been nice of HMS to release all their decisions at once, on the portal and via email, like Yale just did. Come on Harvard, you don't want Yale to one up you!

Any more waitlists? still holding out hope...... but may have to resign myself to a rejection 🙁

No luck here. I was NP only. No news yet....assuming rejection now too 🙁
 
I wonder why they don't just send rejections first, if they aren't going to tell everyone at the same time, so we can stop waiting. And that way it's like a good thing that you didn't get one
 
Rejection email. emotional rollercoaster today. rejected by NP, accepted to yale...can't go to yale...wouldn't have had MD/PhD funding at harvard or yale...i dno what to make of all this...
 
Whiteshadodw, you say you received an email from NP for a rejection?

Did anyone else get this? I received no email.
 
Rejected... Oh well guys, on to another medical school! Congrats to us for making it this far at least, and congrats to everyone accepted.

Yea just got the rejection email a moment ago. IF you haven't heard yet then there may be a chance you're on the waitlist!
 
So guys, we have no mstp acceptances?! The lurkers seem to be the smart ones. 🙁
 
Rejection email received (NP-only). Timestamped for 5:19 PM
