damn dawg what's your complete date

Early July

You have II at 142 M.D. programs? 'Scuse?

Also - ahem... did you get "the e-mail?"

Yes I got an almost overly apologetic email, and it's a joke cause there's 141 programs </troll>

Hahah OK, I wondered. Also since that's like 14 g's on admissions fees. WORTH IT.

Did you happen to get the other e-mail, the "sorry we're late on applications" one?

 

[osu2013]

Is this interview open file?


Also if anyone was interested was complete 7/23 and received II 10/3

Girls can be bros too, bro. Bro is non-gendered. Brosiden does not see genitalia as an excluding factor to enter brohood.

I can see why BU rejected me, now .

Congrats!! What sorta work have you been doing leading up to applying to MDs? Always interested to hear, I feel like there are more and more nontrads applying.

I was complete mid July and only got the II now, so give it some time guys

Did you ever get the email about delayed app review?

My interviewer literally had my application open on his computer with his notes during the interview. So yes. 100% open file.

From what I can extrapolate, the lack of the "Delay Email" means you have a higher likely hood of getting rejected. For the people who have actually received interviews, did you receive "The Email" before you got your II?

I think you got your II before that email went out, though... most people got it on Friday, Oct. 7. Blegh... still worried it's a bad sign. @FireBreathingAstonaut I haven't seen anybody that didn't receive that email subsequently get an II :|

BU's admission makes a really good effort to be candid about the process. All that email meant is literally that they are taking longer to get to your app than they thought. It doesn't mean anything good or bad, just that you're probably going to be waiting some more before you hear anything. The people that didn't get it just submitted earlier and already have been reviewed. And even if you already have been reviewed and haven't heard anything or didn't get the delay email, doesn't mean you won't continue to get reviewed in different piles until the end of the process. Stop worrying yourself, it doesn't mean anything good or bad either way.

Haha thank you ma'am. That's reassuring. Keeping fingers crossed.

Yeah but has anyone who HAS gotten the delay email gotten an interview invite?

It is difficult to extrapolate anything from this thread RE email/ no email

Haha no the thought of the e-mail meaning II is making my sick to my stomach! Not in the "e-mail crowd."

 

[deleted781806]

II just this morning! Complete 8/9 and I *didn't* get "the email" a couple weeks ago. While the available dates are now firmly in the second round of interviews, still better than nothing! (Especially after a less-than-stellar day yesterday)

This is my exact scenario, too, so good news! Congrats on the II.

Edit: Minus the II on my end.

 

[Pablo94]

Got an interview invite today! How likely is it to get in you think if I got an interview?

Rejected LM ~67-69 OOS. Complete 7/14 without receiving delay email. Sad to not have the opportunity to study in Boston but the rejection email really let me down gently (super thoughtful and nice).

Savage rejection by BU today (jk it was actually very nice... Not sure how they manage to make you feel good about yourself while rejecting you at the same time... quite impressive really)

The entire time I felt like they were patting me on the back while reassuring me saying "its not you, its me"
