I really hope this isn't a troll. The Monday rumor got my hopes up and I'd hate for it to happen again.Hi guys! I'm a current student (Pathways), and I've posted on here under a different name before but for the sake of anonymity I'm using a different account now. I'm involved in admissions and I wanted to say that current students were told that decisions are being released tomorrow (3/2), so for those of you that prefer a firm date, that is what we were told today. Remember, one school doesn't mean anything about your quality as a future doctor - a large part of this is random, unfortunately, and HMS gets a lot of great applications so decisions can be really difficult. There are certain things they look for that really change year-to-year, so even for us involved in admissions it can be very tough to say what an applicant's decision would be before discussing him or her in the context of the rest of the class. Good luck!
PS: Revisit looks like it's going to be awesome, so anyone who can should definitely come! Also, I'm happy to answer any questions about Pathways, Boston, etc. over PM.

Haha, pinky swear. Unless the admissions committee switches gears (which I would highly doubt is possible at this late stage), tomorrow should be the day. I'm a bona fide Pathways student struggling through our Homeostasis I block right now. Good luck!
The anchorman one is by far my fav. I cannot ever watch that movie too many times lol

Just confirmed tomorrow is the day from my friend. To be fair, she did hear from a friend herself, but it's double confirmation no less, which is better than the Monday rumor.I really hope this isn't a troll. The Monday rumor got my hopes up and I'd hate for it to happen again.
See y'all on the other side
Can't afford another sleepless night... Haha.
Hi guys! My boyfriend interviewed here and I think I am a million times more anxious than he his (i doubt it, but he's really good at playing it off). I'm a fourth year at another medical school, hoping to match to Boston from the South. Harvard was the only Boston med school my bf interviewed at so this is BIG! I haven't slept at all these last few days. I kept refreshing this page all morning this morning at work.
I would like to thank you guys for all the jokes/added anxiety! I honestly have been stalking SD since his interview! Good luck to you all. Regardless of the results you will all be great physicians. The world is yours!
Cheers to the last sleepless night!!!

Are we expecting emails? Calls? Last year it was an email only, but I don't know what to expect this time 'round.
Pretty sure MD is emails. Do we know for sure whether MSTP gets calls or emails (or both)? Unclear from past years' threads.Are we expecting emails? Calls? Last year it was an email only, but I don't know what to expect this time 'round.

Accepted Pathways 8:40 AM Central!
Whaat? MD emails going out already?Accepted Pathways 8:40 AM Central!
I'm wondering if the emails are coming in chunks or if they already all went out.... if they have names in them then I'd assume they're sending them out sequentially....
Maybe it's alphabetical who TF knows *flips table*

What happened in 2014?
Guess that means its over 🙁
So, anyone know when we can expect to hear rejections?
I'm not giving up already
There was just one wave of NP acceptances at 1:30ish.What happened in 2014?
This is super early though so i'm hoping there's still a chance for us!
Would have expected more people to post on here by now...
