It's possible that we could hear tomorrow. Last year, they sent out acceptances on Tuesday the 22nd and then sent out the final pool emails the following day. I'm hoping they've made their decisions but didnt have time to send out acceptances/final pools. It seems like it was fairly late in the day when the rejections were sent...

I agree that this process sucks.

Meh, I'm not gonna hold my breath, they didn't really seem like they had a strict deadline for decisions during the interview day. On the other hand , I can't imagine waiting for responses from non rolling admission schools.

Was "final pool" mentioned at your interview days? I was under the impression that if I heard any anything prior to march 15 it would be an acceptance, then on March 15 would hear accept/reject/wait list.

I was under the impression that by the end of January we would hear either accepted/rejected/final pooled.

Where # people final pooled > # accepted > # rejected

I was under the impression that everyone who interviews will at least reach the final pool stage
 
After perusing last year's thread I think you're right, no post-interview rejections go out until March
 
I was under the impression, after interview day, that we would hear accepted/waitlist/deny in late January. But I suppose not. Guess it's more of accepted/not accepted in January, then waitlist/rejected in March?

It's possible, the thing is this forum has been pretty dry with acceptances in the past couple months. I interviewed in early November and was told that we would hear in early January about a decision. I spoke with another applicant at a different school interview day (this was early Jan, '14) who also interviewed in early November, and also said they hadn't heard anything either and were told that there would be a decision in early Jan. I feel like the AMCAS delays has kind of screwed up their deadlines
 
I was so good at not looking at SDN over break and I finally folded and got back on. I just want to know so damn bad! I'm hoping we get some news tomorrow. I checked the forums for last year and it looked like they got some notifications on final pools and acceptances on the equivalence of today and tomorrow. Till then I guess I'll just get all my reading assignments done for classes way ahead of time trying to keep myself distracted. Good luck to everyone over the next few days when we hopefully get some decisions!
 
I interviewed in September (IS), and called Carver last week to see if they had made any progress. The lady told me they were hoping to send out an update in late January/early February whether interviewers were accepted, final pooled, or rejected. Then in mid-march if you were final pooled, they were hoping to get those decisions out. That is at least the feel I got from the phone call.

almost positive that no post interview rejections come until the final pool, but could be wrong
 
I'd have to dig through threads. But I remember there was a person that was a multiple time reapplicant who was rejected after interview, who was not put in the final pool.

So I'd say that it happens... But kind of rare....
 
Do they send out a large batch of acceptances at the same time that they send out final pool notifications?

I have a special ringtone for my med school email on my phone, and I swear I've been randomly hearing it go off only to find that it didn't. /Insanity hahaha
 
Every time my phone rings vibrates even I think I did I'm clearing mountains to get to it! And I hate when I answer my phone and its s sales call!!!
 
Got an e-mail about 15 min ago. Final pool. Interviewed OOS in September.

Anyone else have a slight panic attack seeing the words "Admissions committee has made a decision on your file" 😱and then going to check the secondary application? :nailbiting:

See ya in the final pool.
 
oh so they're finally making/sending decisions out now? Still no word here, but I interviewed in Dec so I might be waiting more.

Yes! In years past, they just sent final pool notifications through email. If you were accepted they'd send an email, exactly like this one, telling you to go to the secondary site for a decision. I thought I was accepted during the 5 minutes of panicking/excitement/fumbling with the keyboard typing my password in.... Only to be final pooled......

Sounds like we won't have to wait for snail mail decisions this year though.... sigh

yeah that was me too haha just got final pooled!
 
Lol, did they skip me or something, still no word.
 
I bet they send out final pools first and then acceptances after
 
Finally got the email. Also swimming in the final pool... 🙁

anyone actually get rejected before joining the final pool?
 
Final pool here as well. Well that sucked. I even had my hopes raised for a full ten seconds when I saw the email. Then I thought I was rejected by not seeing a Congratulations and a thank you for considering blah blah blah. Finally a mixed feeling when I read final pool. Well that was enough of a rollercoaster of emotions for today. I guess at least it is Friday ...
