Thanks! I guess all I can do at this point is put my best foot forward and hope for the best. The anxiety of the cycle really gets to me haha

II today (1/25) secondary submitted 11/8. I'm a reapplicant MCAT 30 and 514 GPA 3.7 (science 3.6). OOS
Can someone give me an idea of about when the interview day got out? I will probably call the admissions office tomorrow, but I need to decide if I will be okay driving back to back interviews (one day in between but it's not long to recuperate). or if I should just schedule for the following week? At this point it's at the later stage of interviews so IDK if one week makes a huge difference.

II a little bit ago!
Completely unexpected, I'd given up hope of getting any more at this point.
I'm way OOS (california), do I have any shot at actually getting in since its so late/OOS/etc?
Also sent an update ~01/10, so maybe that helped!

The wait is killing me, I just want to know my chances of getting in as being IS.
I don't understand, sorry. If you're IS and from the Scranton area then your chances are much higher than being outside the area or from OOS!
Sorry for my bad wording. I'm just worried my chances for acceptance are lower being IS but not from Scranton, I'd love to see their interview statistics breakdown if there is one available.
Ah ok. That'd be very interesting for sure. I'm also right there with you being from PA yet outside NEPA. I'm trying to think what the 76ers are saying now but for medical school applications #trusttheprocess
I had my interview in November, and got an email a few weeks ago saying my application got "deferred to the next committee meeting." Is this just a post-interview waitlist? What is the movement from this waitlist like?
I'll be taking that!
I am most appreciative
Good luck!

Anyone know if early January (1/13) interviewees will hear back on this next batch of decisions?
Exactly 8 weeks post-interview today. Patiently waiting to hear back...
Noooooo 🙁. But at least its not a rejection. You're still in the game
Deferred as well, interviewed 1/9. I don't think it's a bad thing their website says this ,"This status is not the same as being placed on an alternate list.Deferred candidates are considered at each subsequent committee meeting and can be offered an admission decision at any time. This policy is advantageous to deferred candidates because it means that the student’s application file is under constant review." And it's only been 3 weeks for us since the interview
I'm scared and hopeful
I really hope it is not the end

When did you interview? I interviewed on 12/5/16!
I interviewed 12/2 and still no news. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing...but staying optimistic! Praying to hear something by the end of this week

Were you deferred or have they started a waitlist?
Accepted today! Interviewed 12/2, wow this is crazy. At the beginning of this cycle I didn't even think i'd get a single interview invitation.

I am a bit new to this. How would I go about sending a letter of interest, after being deferred after my interview?

Congrats!
I went on the portal and it walks you through three steps: signing the technical standards agreement, financial aid questionnaire, and then making your 100$ deposit.
After I did all those, it allowed me to accept my offer on the original screen and submit it through the portal.
Btw, Congratulations!!
