DO I LOOK LIKE A MARJORIE?!?! But in all seriousness f the gender binary, I could make it work.

 

[720606]

So does this gap year options email mean I'm not getting in

For real. I told them, sorry, but my name isn't Nathan!

 

[applesaucey]

[UWBadgerGirl]

Anyone know if decisions start going out after October 17?

 

[FeinMS]

Anyone know if decisions start going out after October 17?

I think I heard it will be later than October. Cannot recall exactly when.

October 17th is supposed to be the first date that the AAMC allows schools to start giving out acceptance/waitlist emails, but some schools do it at a later date

 

[applesaucey]

I think I heard it will be later than October. Cannot recall exactly when.

If I recall correctly, they said 6-8 weeks after the interview date

 

[kinipela]

Does anyone know if they are receptive to "in the area" e-mails?

According to this thread from a few years back, they are not. I can't speak to how accurate this is though.

Does everyone get the Feinberg 411 newsletter? I just received it and online it says
"Prospective students of the Feinberg School of Medicine (those who have either interviewed or have been invited to interview) receive an exclusive monthly e-newsletter from the Office of Admissions, called Feinberg 411, which includes an Admissions Q&A in each issue."
But I haven't received an II... Maybe the 411 letter accidently went to everyone?

II Just now! Complete 9/19, CA resident. Lizzy M>75

After that first email I thought it was more junk mail

 

[summergirl]

crushing dreams 🙁

To be fair, my newsletter said "A monthly newsletter for prospective and accepted students of the Feinberg School of Medicine"
not "Prospective students of the Feinberg School of Medicine (those who have either interviewed or have been invited to interview) receive an exclusive monthly e-newsletter" like someone posted before me.

I think everybody got the "prospective and accepted students" newsletter; the poster above was just mentioning that on the Feinberg website, the newsletter page included the phrase "either interviewed or have been invited to interview."

+1!!! LizzyM ~77, Complete first week of August. Available dates were at the tail end of November and early December. The two emails today from Feinberg (first being a fake-out, second being real) are an emotional rollercoaster

 

[dioxane]

anyone else get an email saying they reviewed your app and re-asking you to submit a secondary?

Like...with different answers?

 

[dioxane]

Like...with different answers?

like at all--they said they looked over my primary and said i'd be a good fit

 

[Gurby]

anyone else get an email saying they reviewed your app and re-asking you to submit a secondary?

I got this email. I was too lazy to fill out the secondary earlier. I wonder if they actually did any review, or if they just send this email to everyone who sent a primary but no secondary?

 

[1FireAtATime]

@dioxane I got that as well. I also haven't finished that secondary yet... Oops.

time to jump on the horse for this one last secondary i suppose

 

[Skittsie13]

I got this email too. I'm not sure if I should fill out the secondary...? I wonder if they send it to everyone who didn't fill it out.

 

[billbillbillbill]

I have Harvard URGING me to apply...

This is either extremely douchey or your sarcasm isn't coming thru well via the internet

I would submit if you got that email- I never submitted a secondary here and also never recieved that email, so they're probably sending it to competitive applicants.

 

[Uqbar]

II!!! So excited!!! Complete early September. LizzyM 69-71. Dates available throughout November and December.
