Congrats !! are IS or OOS ?

I called admissions and I was
told they will interview until the end of March, and there was no cut off date to receive an interview.

really? I called on Monday and they literally said that 3/23 would be the last date to receive an interview, 3/24 the latest. I am going to call again today and find out I guess?
I just called them right now and they said that IIs are going out till Monday afternoon. They said anything's possible until then!
thank you so much for calling! Hoping for some good news then =)
OOS. 3.6 GPA 30 old MCAT and I am a non traditional applicant took two years off and have been doing clinical research
I waited 11 weeks and was accepted. Don't be worried. Longer doesn't = bad news. Just be patient! Good luck.
Officially in the wait list club. Interviewed 2/19.
No, I was not.
I thought April 30th was the date that accepted students must decline all other accepted offers? Can anyone confirm?
Yeah I believe you're right.
I would think there could be some people that haven't heard by April 30th, especially if you have a really late interview.
True, thanks! I'm just getting anxious.. I'm waitlisted here as well as all the other schools I interviewed at.

today is the day remaining for us hold applicants to receive an interview - ahhh!
Anyone know the schedule for Second Look Day..? Never got an e-mail with details.. trying to make travel plans!
Called the admissions in the morning, they said they would send II's until end of the day.
that's what they told me when I called earlier this morning. I am really hoping for this one.
Anyone waiting for an interview heard anything today?
Damn. I have been neurotically checking my email and portal
I'm assuming if we don't hear within 30 min it's a no. Historically they close at 5

Probably done now.
Can't stress how important this is. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I called and they said that they are done extending out interview invites but my app will still remain on hold. I am assuming that means if anyone drops out of an acceptance or an interview by April 30th, I guess those of us remaining on hold will get it? Don't get me wrong I would rather be on hold than rejected but my gosh how much longer are they going to prolong this - just please accept me already. please.
On the MSAR it states that orientation starts July 19th.

call and ask them. they are good at answering their phones
Oh I didn't realize that. Last year was July 15th and next year is July 19th so it seems that it's always the 3rd Wednesday of July. That would make it July 20th this year if that's true.
In the acceptance packet, I read that orientation begins Wednesday, July 13 this year. Hope that helps!
That's really early, I wonder if Penn State is the earliest school to start?
25 from the waitlist was accepted!
Howard starts early too around that time as well
Any idea when the next batch of post-interview decisions will come out?
I see that but if you look next to it on MSAR it also says about 25 were waitlisted in total and essentially all 25 were accepted. That seems unlikely this year because basically everyone this year was placed on hold post interview if they were not accepted.
Maybe when it says "typical number of waitlist positions per cycle: 15-25", the school meant that 15-25 people usually get accepted off the waitlist each year. Because you're right, there's clearly a lot more than 15-25 people on the waitlist.
I just emailed them

Any idea on how long it takes to hear back (post-interview), after committee meets?
Not sure when the committee meets but I am going on week 9 of waiting...they said 6 to 8 weeks but people have posted that they waited 11 weeks...
Are you on pre-II hold? Still confused why I still haven't heard either way...
did you try calling and asking admissions?
Where in the acceptance packet did you read that? Can't find it...
