Post interview updates
That was the last round of interviews
Of about 1100 interviews, approx 300 will be offered an acceptance
They did indeed complete 2/3 of their interviews before January and offered 1/3 of their allotted acceptances
The rest were either rejected or deferred, deferred students I think are to be considered with the second group of interviews from January to today, from which they will select the last 2/3 of their students to accept

They fill most of the class seats in March, not January, so if you were deferred you've still got a fair chance of acceptance.
ok thank you for your response
Yes, I did....wondering if it means anything? :/
Anyone get an answer on when decisions will be released this year? First week of march, second week of march?

Hi everyone, first time posting on SDN! I interviewed way back in September, got deferred, and waiting anxiously to hear back. Hope it's soon!
At my interview day the dean said the first week of March.

Ehhh, does this mean we can expect to hear back this week?
I think next week is probably more likely, though anything can happen honestly haha
My info says that we will be notified via email of their decision.

When I was accepted, my portal changed before I received an email. Some people got a call from their interviewer. I, however, did not!
So the portal says "Mid-March" when do you think we will hear back?

See above -- sounds like early to mid march, and perhaps next week.
My money is on interviewers starting to call Wednesday and/or Thursday and official emails/portal changes going out Friday

Yes, I agree. The portal change seemed to have occurred on 3-11 last year (which was a friday) so I expect it will occur Friday this year as well.

Did everyone last year who was accepted in March get a phone call or did some get accepted with just a portal change/email?
edit: sorry, should have read the posts above. it seems there were people accepted without getting a phone call, though that was earlier in the first round. I'm assuming they won't necessarily have time to call everyone this time too.
I didn't realize they called for acceptances... my fragile heart doesn't handle that well (especially when I don't get a call)
Yeah based on the threads the last few years, there's usually always a good amount of people that don't get calls and only find out with the official email. Honestly the most useful thing we all could do is if we do get an acceptance call and decide to post here, include your interviewer name that called you. It will help relieve a lot of the stress here

Remember what happened the last time we started betting on school's acceptance dates?? We jinxed it!
Hahahaha so true 🙁
Hoping such struggles don't dare show face again... but with this process, who the hell knows?!

Got only official email, no call: Balady.
I would say no. I assume they are done making decisions if they are supposed to release them this week.

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeejected. Definitely can attest to the reputation of having a very nice rejection letter though. Oh well!
