Interviewed last week and can confirm April 9 th is the last meeting before waitlist season.
thanks for confirming. What do you mean by waitlist season?
Interviewed last week and can confirm April 9 th is the last meeting before waitlist season.
At least 85 as of March 15 (per AAMC traffic rules). Joan told me there have been people rejecting their acceptances already though, and I'm sure this will speed up the closer we get to April 30. * fingers and toes crossed *Also...does anyone know approximately how many people have been accepted so far and how many they plan on accepting before they make the cut off for the waitlist (assuming the class size is around 85)?
You're welcome. Also, I meant the time during which people get accepted off the waitlist.i.e after post-interview decisions are finished and waitlist movement beginsthanks for confirming. What do you mean by waitlist season?
Any idea when financial aid starts rolling out?
is there an email that we're supposed to send update letters to?
Wait so you mean they've already accepted all 85 but those of us who haven't heard anything still have a chance because a lot of people are rejecting their acceptances? Also, thank you for your knowledge! 🙂At least 85 as of March 15 (per AAMC traffic rules).

THAT MAKES SENSE! Thank you! I assumed they would accept more but I didn't know they had already accepted all 85. Ahh I just wanna know, the suspense is killing me! Good luck to you and all!Of course they will have accepted more, but because of the rules, they have to have sent out AT LEAST 85 acceptances. I know that some of those have been refused since, and if they're still rolling decisions out, then the numbers will likely fluctuate significantly for the next few weeks..
And I'm gonna say, absolutely do we have a chance! (I haven't heard back either) but maybe it will be through the waitlist, which isn't ranked AFAIK.
Fingers crossed, warm fuzzies!!
Thank you fellow comrade! Here's hoping for an amazing two weeks!!!Just called, Joan said everyone will have heard by the 13th.
I had two9 MCAT scores and was accepted at Geisel this year. I don't know what their policy is outright if they average or just take the top score but I had a succesful experience!I'll be applying next year, and Geisel is my #1 choice. However, I was wondering if anyone with Multiple MCATs had been admitted or interviewed this year?
Do they have a policy about that?

I had 3 mcat scores (2 very bad 1 very very good!) and got an interview. Still no news though. Good luck!I'll be applying next year, and Geisel is my #1 choice. However, I was wondering if anyone with Multiple MCATs had been admitted or interviewed this year?

It may be too late now... As I'm sure you've read in the thread, the final committee meeting is tomorrow (the 9th), and decisions are supposed to go out by the 13th. Unfortunately, there may not be time for it to get there before they meet or it may be too late to impact your application.Hey y'all, I've sent a previous update to Geisel stating some academic accomplishments in my most rigorous courses, and progress at work. Should I send a full transcript stating my semester grades (a couple courses were not mentioned in the update)? These classes were a couple of A's and a couple of B's ie. not a 4.0. Is it advisable to still send my transcripts? I'm debating this because I am in an SMP and my recent Fall and Spring semesters have been mostly Graduate Level science courses. Not sure if sending these transcripts will make a difference or if they might be a negative since they aren't straight A's.
I did as well and I'm waiting anxiously... Let's hope it comes soon and looks good!Have any fellow accepted students received their financial aid award? I sent in all of my materials pretty early, but I'm kind of concerned that it's almost mid-April and we haven't heard back about FA...
The curriculum update isn't officially being rolled out, but from what others have said on this thread, there are unofficial changes that they thought were going to be great for class of 2019.Does anyone know/remember if the redesigned curriculum will be instituted this upcoming fall (for the class of 2019)? I feel like I've read a lot about how it will work in theory, but I have no idea if it's actually being implemented this year. Thanks.
Also, on a side note, I love Geisel, but does anyone else kind of wish the admissions office would send out more materials (i.e. a checklist, etc?) for accepted students? Besides receiving the Visiting Days invite, it's been radio silence (at least for me) since my acceptance email.
Thanks for responding, @chachi19 ! I'm glad to hear that some changes will be rolled out. Sorry -I should have probably read the thread more thoroughly!
And I really wish you good luck in hearing back! It's such a pain to wait for a while : (. But hopefully you will get in and then you can post tons of emoticons and celebrate SDN-style! : D Are there any other schools that you have heard back from, that you are considering attending? (Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post on here)

Most waitlist movement reported on last year's Geisel thread happened in June. The last acceptance from the waitlist was before the middle of July. What do you mean by "replies aren't gonna roll out until august, that's the waitlist"?replies aren't gonna roll out until august, that's the waitlist. those of us who haven't heard back from our interviews will hear by the end of april presumably
sorry, my phrasing was unclear; i was parroting the phrasing of the poster above me. we're in agreement. what i meant was that those of us who have not heard back yet from our interview should hear soon as to whether we've been accepted, rejected, or waitlisted. it's those on the waitlist that could potentially not hear til the summerMost waitlist movement reported on last year's Geisel thread happened in June.

I assume from the lack of recent decision reports on SDN for this year, that Geisel is waiting until they have decisions for everyone. When I interviewed I was told they were 2 weeks behind. They continued to be about 2 weeks behind with acceptance notifications until they stopped giving weekly updates in late March.
It appears that the last interview was 3/26, since there have been no mentions of interviews occurring after that week.
So, if all of these suppositions are accurate, the date Joan gave on April 1st, April 13th, makes sense, because it is two weeks after the last interview, and it immediately follows the last committee meeting before formulation of the waitlist.
We might even hear something today, since the last few decisions were released on Friday rather than Monday.
I just wanted to bolster the spirits of everyone who is still waiting with my (possibly optimistic) analysis of the decision timeline.
Congrats !! When did you interview?ACCEPTED about 10 minutes ago via e-mail! There were a few individualized forms attached, so they are probably sending acceptances one-by-one. Good luck to all!

We were told a month like you, from my early Feb interview, but I don't think most of us have heard back yet 🙂I'm under the impression that the April 13th date applied to the people who interviewed over the last few weeks (I interviewed mid-March and they told us we should hear back by April 13th). I don't know if they meant that date applied to everyone. Maybe they just meant the definite acceptances would go out by 4/13 and then they'll have to see how many people accept their offer past the April 30th deadline before they can taper off acceptances and to create the waitlist.
Whatever the case, the anticipation is killer! Good thing you can't wear out your email's refresh button.
... and then immediately checking this forum too 🙂just neurotically checking my email every 3 minutes....
Monday seems to be a strong possibility for notifications as well.... and then immediately checking this forum too 🙂
yayy!!I'm glad Chachi and Roro have such cute avatars. I keep scrolling up and down the page and feel tension release as I pass the kitty and cute smiley face.
