Just chiming in I got the email, too. I guess this means a large packet in the mail in a month, right? 😛

I was accepted back in January and just got the email too
What day are we supposed to hear back in March?
On our interview day (February 1st), which was the last interview day, Dr. Witzburg (spelling?) spoke especially lengthily during his closing remarks about how sometimes people rush to send letters of intent to great schools right after interviewing, but he encourages us to wait and really think about it before sending one to BU. In other words, they only want REALLY serious letters of intent, not something you send just so you can get accepted to one more school and have more acceptances to choose from!
Best of luck to all of you still waiting on a decision 🙂
I found this on the AAMC website under "AAMC Application and Acceptance Protocols - Admission Officers":
"By March 15 of the matriculation year, issue a number of acceptance offers at least equal to the expected number of students in its first-year entering class and report those acceptance actions to AMCAS."

Would it be advisable to email BU to ask about interview/application feedback after post II rejection? I just want to see if there's anything obvious I could improve in but not sure if BU is receptive to these types of requests
You already go rejected. What's the worst that can happen? I say go for it
Has anyone who interviewed on the last day of interviews (February 1st) hear back yet? The suspense is killing me 🙁
99% of people from january onward will hear back mid march. Also, it hasn't been that long...only 2 weeks haha

Anyone hear anything about what day in March they're making announcements?
I believe April 16th.
In the post-interview email I got, it stated that we would find out in March, without any specific date.
FYI, there is now a fb group for accepted students! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1059005754156452/?fref=ts
Hopefully we'll see you all in there in a few weeks! 🙂

When my bf sent an update, they told him decisions would go out on March 15th
When I sent an update a week ago, they didn't say anything 🙁
Me neither. Did you upload through myapplication?
Congrats! Could you elaborate how you were accepted? Was it through e-mail, phone call?
How did you find out??
It was an email from my interviewer. Came in very early in the morning.
Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile app

I don't think so. It seems the emails are done as a personal touch a day or so before the official decision is released.Does it mean anything if we haven't received an email from our interviewer?
Congrats! When did you interview?
Yes sir
I hope I get rejected
Whatttttt? Did they release the decisions? How did you hear?
Accepted today! Interviewed Feb 1st.
Interviewer called in the afternoon and left me a very sweet voicemail informing me that I've been accepted. I interviewed in December. I will also be withdrawing.
For future applicants, I was deferred the first round. I didn't submit any thank you letters/update letters/letters of intent but was still accepted in this round!

Accepted just now, call from my interviewer!
I haven't heard anything yet and I also interviewed with Dr. Balady
