Guys, I know this is easier said than done, but it's healthy to get off SDN and your email and do other things. Just accept that decisions will come when they come and obsessing over it won't change any of that. So might as well just forget about decision dates and just go about your life as though you weren't applying to med school. Then when it comes, it'll be a pleasant surprise.

Yeah but it's so much more exciting this way.

And people call something "obsession" for a reason, you don't have much control over it.

"Oh hey remember that super significant life changing thing you're doing? Totally forget about it! No need to think about it!"

Thanks for the life changing advice.

Also maybe, just maybe, some of us aren't obsessing and we think it's fun to be around people in the same situation as us and we're able to handle it.

Also **** Stanfurd

I feel the same about Standferd tho. They hate my undergrad and so I hate them. Haven't taken anyone from my school in 10 years and we send people to almost every other top ten

Haha this is exactly how I feel. I love getting hyped and excited for this stuff, and the experience is so much richer when you're doing it with others (even if it's over an online forum)

Chill, bro. Quit being so grumpy. I couldn't care less what you think about Stanford but thanks for your opinion. <3
 
Have to say - this thread is probably the most entertaining of all the school-specific ones I read. But everyone needs to calm down and stop acting childish.

Tell them to stop discriminating against applicants based on undergrad school

In my experience with Stanford, they like good research and good research is disproportionately concentrated among the top schools. My undergrad sent a lot of students to Stanford and so did my graduate institution. Research is hard to break into if you're in a lower-ranked school. I'd bet that @anonymous2017er is from one of those top research schools.
 
Hey all, first time poster long time reader (y'all are wild by the way). Per Dr. Rivera at NYU, decisions will be released Friday Hey all, first time poster long time reader (y'all are wild by the way). Per Dr. Rivera at NYU, decisions will be released Friday:



Don't ask me why I was on his Twitter feed a few minutes ago. I just was >_>

My birthday will be either amazing or terrible

All his tweet did was essentially change the hard deadline from the 31st to the 27th lol. But still 4 less days of waiting I'll take it.

Anyone wanna call now since the cat's out of the bag. All they've been saying when I called was by the 31st (I called yesterday). Now we can reference his tweet and maybe they'll give us more info.

I have a feeling though maybe he said "by Friday" because acceptances/waitlists/rejections will be coming out on different days within this week.
 
Hahaha, fair point. Just anticipate a response by EoD Friday, and if you hear earlier than that it'll just be a (hopefully) pleasant surprise! At least this keeps us from having to agonize over waiting for NYU decisions over the weekend.
 
Would it be expected for acceptances to come out before or after rejections this week?

I'm sure that's the more likely reason. I just like to hold a grudge haha

but this is the first year that admissions hasn't been rolling (correct me if I'm wrong) so can we even make this comparison
Click to expand...

in general, schools that dont do rolling tend to send our acceptances first, then waitlist rejection after. So if all decisions are out by friday, its fair to assume acceptances might go out tomorrow and/or thursday
 
Not MD/PhD, just MD. I promise it's not a joke! They said they're sending out emails and paper acceptances on Friday.
