I find myself checking this thread way too often.

You can subscribe to it, in which case you'll only have to check your email too often😀
I'm usually a very very patient person... BUT.................................... THIS IS TORTURE.
I feel you... every day this week between 9-10AM I've been refreshing SDN and my email constantly. And then also throughout the day.
The last thing I think I need at this point are extra emails bumping up by Inbox number. Every time my heart rate increases thinking its Cornell.
47% according to ZuluHotel's graph 😛
haha I stand by those odds. My gut (and my graph) say more likely Monday, but I'm holding out hope that we will be celebrating this weekend. Hell, even I don't get in I'll be celebrating the end of the suspense.

Either way, we'll know a week from today. That's a pretty wild thought
And what's a few more says compared to the last few months anyway?
I've been actively ignoring my inbox this morning. Once I start checking it, I'll be glued to it all day.
I have never been so excited for it to be Monday before in my life.
So true.
Good luck everyone! Hoping to hear some good news tomorrow with you all.
This is such an A+ thread. So friendly compared to the typical SDN dickishness. Best of luck to everyone here waiting!
School-specific and Class threads >> all other pre-allo threads. Though I can probably make an exception for waitlist kitteh and the reaction to acceptances threads among a few select others 😛 Last week (or day!) of waiting guys!!
I'm alternating between being incredibly excited / ridiculously stressed / trying not to think about it. Eek!
Does anyone know how many will be initially accepted, wait listed, and rejected?

Yes! I definitely couldn't read how my interview with TP went - feel almost like it was too casual. Super nervous for (maybe) tomorrow.
RS was one of my interviewers, and that interview didn't stand out from my other interviews in any particular way. I'm not sure if this helps 🙂
Guys, interview is only one of the factors; the rest of your application still plays a major role in the final decision, not to mention all the demographic/diversity etc. considerations (and by diversity I don't mean URM/non-URM, but rather different backgrounds, interests, paths to medicine etc.). Not to mention that it's hard, if not impossible, to evaluate your interview performance and/or your interviewer's reactions. I really don't think you can predict the final decision based on how you *feel* your interview went.

Are emails an all day ordeal, or do all acceptances /WLs/rejections go out at once?
From past years it seems like they each go out at same time (i.e. all acceptances at the same time, but not the same time as WL or rejections). I think last year the bad news came out same day shortly after good news, but some previous years bad news came out the next day or so.
Thanks!

Past couple years it was pretty regular, between 9 and 10 AM. If you go back more than a couple years it seemed more random.
Checking out of the thread for the night. Crossing my fingers for all of you guys tomorrow!

I strongly believe that:
1) people who interviewed at Cornell and the like are all strong applicants who deserve to be accepted to a school like Cornell;
However,
2) there are so many strong applicants that which ones become accepted/wait listed/rejected by which school becomes utterly unpredictable (if not random).
I guess by saying this I'm trying to keep my chin up and my expectations down 😀
Preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. Best of luck everyone! (Even though, at this point it isn't luck that got us this far)
Thanks to daylight savings, we get decisions 1 hour earlier than normal! Almost makes up for 1 hour less of sleep this weekend.

Today hopefully. Can't bear any more waiting.
Heyo! I'm here for the anticiparty.
I just finished my hour-long commute (with no internet access). Didn't see any email in my inbox when I got to work and was afraid to see that this thread had new messages.
Too much.
