I never submitted my secondary, but I saw that the deadline is jan. 15th and I'm realizing I really like what this school stands for. Should I even bother sending a secondary in now? I truly like the school's mission

 

[nks91]

Interview invite, in-state, and submitted 11/12 (oops). I really thought that was too late!

Just got deferred today. Bummed . This is my number 1 option. Anyone get deferred but end up getting in?? And how long it usually takes to hear back??

There was at least one person on this thread who was deferred and got in and another I know personally so (as they mentioned at the interview) it definitely isn't a death sentence.

I'd imagine it's highly variable when you can expect to hear back after deferral since they review your application at each committee meeting, thereafter.

Have people been rejected post interview or is it only deferred/accepted decisions going out right now?

 

[foxydocy]

II today! OOS. Completed August!

 

[Fingerscrossed2016]

Although I personally did not interview at TCMC, I know 4 people who did. They all interviewed between mid-November and December. They all received a deferral today, quite literally at the same time. Right down to the minute. Through the grape vine, one of the interviewees was told that TCMC is simply behind on reviewing applicants due to the holiday season; therefore, they had to send a mass deferral email to applicants coming close to the 8 week decision deadline to avoid calls and complaints. If this is true, then the deferral status isn't a death sentence at all, just a safety net for the admissions committee.

Again, this is all hearsay. But it does sound very plausible! I just wanted to offer up some words of encouragement to help ease some nerves until officials decisions are made!

 

[oceanic790]

Deferred.

When was your interview?

I got deferred yesterday and then got an email today saying my application was withdrawn? anyone know what happened -- is that just a rejection?

[MolonLabe16]

Interviewed back in September, deferred in October, accepted today! Never saw this coming, don't lose hope guys!

 

[noregrats]

do they email out rejections around the same time as acceptances?

did you send any updates or anything in? congrats!

 

[Silence in ER]

accepted today.

 

[MDmichelle]

I may be wrong but I believe I heard someone say that only a letter would be mailed to you if you were rejected.....I'm not 100% positive though

 

[oceanic790]

If it's a rejection post-interview, is the decision reflected on the portal before you even get the letter?

On the portal the only thing that was different was an added tab of "offer" I don't think there would be anything for a rejection

If I haven't received any emails and I interviewed Nov 20, is it safe to say that I was rejected?

 

[AlphaEta251]

No that would be ridiculous. they send out acceptances over time and you could have just not been reviewed this round. they do not do post interview silent rejections.

I keep seeing people say that they send rejections via snail mail though. So wouldn't the people who were deferred/accepted hear their verdict before the people who were rejected?

Historically they have been doing rejections and wait list before acceptances.
