The 15th is Presidents' Day, do u guys really think they'll call? Or postpone to the 16th

The school is open and I know they have interviews that day so I imagine that yes, they absolutely will call that day.

 

[SpartyParty1992]

For those who are expecting to hear a decision this week, what does your portal say? Just "Your interview has been completed. We thank you for visiting us and for your interest in our program" ?

 

[EndoGroupie]

Yep. That's what mine says.

[SpartyParty1992]

Does anyone know how long they're making acceptance calls today?

In December they did acceptance calls the next day as well.

 

[Bubbles0523]

Does anyone know how long they're making acceptance calls today?

I know people who got called as late at 11pm. They had quite a few interviewing today, so admissions might be a little swamped. Fingers crossed for you all!

 

[XxThaDoggxX]

Does anyone know how long they're making acceptance calls today?

I know they are making rejection emails today. Rejected pre-II just now.

 

[SallySue1202]

My status has changed. I now see a long paragraph beginning with "Congratulations on your acceptance to Loyola Stritch Medical School..."

 

[223sarahsmith]

Also rejected today. I had the "has been reviewed...will be continuously reviewed until March, etc." status for awhile now. OOS.

[chocoholicsoxfan]

My file has been "undergoing review" since 7/23. Any hope?

In my head, I have a visual of them reading like one sentence of my PS per week.

 

[medhead88]

[SpartyParty1992]

I sure hope so. My interview was 3 FEB. The admissions officer said that they were behind and that it might take the week of the 15th to get to all of the phone calls out.

oh wow so you guys may find out this week? or later in march?

 

[bunchesonothing]

I wonder if IIs are still being given out for next week or if I'm just waiting on the pre-ii rejection email at this point. My understanding is that they're interviewing through next week.

Would love to hear that my info is wrong though.

Rejected today. LizzyM 74. Loyola would like to sell me a Masters program "to improve my candidacy," if "medicine remains [my] goal." I was accepted to 5 other schools.

It's a generic response. Don't be salty.
