2014-2015 Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
*muffled screech*
Jumping into the acceptance pool. So so grateful. Really loved this school, especially the student body. Pretty sure I'll be at this second look. You were worth the extra two week wait, Sinai!

@soccerusa I think we have a creepy amount of overlap in our acceptances. Hope to see you at second look(s).

Congrats all around to the acceptances and best of luck to those waiting!
 
Deferred... really bummed. Anyone know how deferrals have looked in past years? Is there still a good chance later on?
 
congrats on those accepted!!! what were your interview dates? I interviewed the third week of Oct. and I received an email from adcom saying "thank you for your continued interest" and that they were unable to offer me an acceptance at this time but my application is "still being considered". Is this some sort of silent rejection?? is there still hope...
 
Deferred/waitlisted (can't tell the difference from the email, no portal update yet). Interviewed late sept
 
I don't know what the response I got means. It said 'we are not ready to offer you an acceptance at this time, and that your application will be continued to be reviewed.' Anyone know what this means? Congrats to people who got accepted. Out of curiosity, to the people who were accepted, when did you interview?
 
I interviewed the first week they had interviews. So early September.

I got this same email too. When did you interview? Maybe they sent this out to the later interview dates... Hopefully 🙁

I got the same response and I interviewed in early October

+1, late sept
 
I also got the "While we are not yet prepared to offer you an acceptance at this time, your application is still being considered by our committee". Interviewed late October.
 
Deferred as well. Hopefully, this is not a death sentence...

Interviewed early October
 
Deferred as well. Not sure exactly what that means from the email. Does anyone know if it's basically a wait list or just no decision at all?
 
Looking at last year's thread it looks like some people that were deferred at this time have gotten in later on, but not until mid February. But that's only from last year and with a small sample size
 
Congrats everyone! My interview is this Friday, seeing all you good people getting accepted already makes it extra exciting! Anybody here who got accepted also applied for the Portal program? Any news on that?
 
Also got deferred, interviewed in early October, mostly glad that I didn't get rejected. I think people definitely get in out of the deferral pool and I really don't think it's a silent rejection, but we probably have a bit of a wait. Congratulations to everyone who got in!
 
+1 deferral....Given the early Sept interview, I must've screwed up big time...
 
Also deferred 🙁
Hmm looks like Sinai is not rejecting anybody. That means the deferred applicants will be compared against everybody else who interviews from now till Jan, and we'll hear back in February (when everybody else is finished interviewing)
 
I absolutely loved this school before I interviewed and I loved it even more during my interview day. Fingers crossed for some good news this week. Good luck everyone!! 🙂

Accepted earlier today by email (October interview)! So happy 🙂

Also quick question for those accepted. All we have to do to hold a spot is to enter our social security and click "accept offer" right? No deposit or letter/email of intent?
 
Got the deferred email this afternoon.

(I mean, I appreciate that at least it's not an outright rejection, but it still stings man.)
 
[QUOTE=what do you mean by late October? Was it beyond the 25th?
 
I also got the "While we are not yet prepared to offer you an acceptance at this time, your application is still being considered by our committee". Interviewed late October.
What do you mean by late October - was it beyond the 25th? I haven't gotten an email and I interviewed on one of the last few days in October and want to know if the silence means they just haven't gotten to me.......
 
interview invite! open dates are basically every weekday of december.
Congrats! Extremelly happy to hear December is still largely open. With NYU and Sinai acceptances comming out yesterday made it bittersweet still waiting for a II. Hoping for some NYC love soon.
