Not axed yet, but this is scaring me 🙁
Academics and prestige aside, urban lifestyle and school culture here make it a top choice for me :arghh:
 
Interviewed here earlier this week...Can someone remind me what their policy is on thank-you notes? I briefly remember them saying to save your time and they already know we are thankful...but then I see my interviewers e-mails listed on the portal now?

Is it possible to receive a rejection post-interview other than at the end of March when the final decisions go out? You either get placed on the wait-list or accepted post-interview, right?

Yeah I think you can only be rejected in March. Before then, you are either accepted or your final decision is postponed until March. At that point, I would assume you could either be accepted, wait-listed, or rejected.
 
Do we know when in March the next round of acceptances go out?

Also does anyone know anything about merit scholarships here? Frequency / timing?
 
Are decisions typically released on a certain day / length after the interview?
I know they stated 4 - 6 weeks but just wanted to see if it tends to be more around a similar time than others.
I interviewed mid Jan
