Maybe they saw this thread and were all "YOU DON'T KNOW ME, SDN" and pushed it off a few days 😛

Yeah sorry guys haha I've been checking too! It has been three weeks since the last round so I'm hoping this is the week for us. My b to anyone whose hopes were up!
Confirm or deny: Tufts doesn't send pre-II rejections until Feb/march...?

As far as I know confirm. Thats what I keep hearing. When were you complete though? some people were complete in july and interviewed in like Feb/March last year so keep the faith!
I think so
I think your chances are 0 if you don't. On the other hand, they haven't even reviewed applicants complete in August yet. But who knows? Your stats are crazy and they send Interview until March.
Last year I submitted in august, updated them in the first week of march, and was rejected within a week of that. I didn't get any invites last year, so it seems unlikely (looking back) I had a chance at tufts. But I still waited until march for that rejection. I do remember having hope because there were rejections earlier in the cycle, but I'd update them in a bit if you have anything worth updating them about, and otherwise expect to wait a bit (unless you're fortunate to get the II!)...
Deny.
Congrats!! When were you complete?
My II was a while ago. I was just stating that Wednesday was not the only date that they send out emails.

I just got a call from Tufts saying I was accepted! They said emails will be sent out the next day or so. 🙂
Congrats!! What day did you interview?
October 6th
Same for me, interviewed on 10/4.
I was on 10/4, also wondering if I should still hope for a phone call or anticipate being deferred/rejected
Haven't gotten a phone call yet so...anticipating the worst now 🙁
Oh heeeey it might be in waves. *relieved but still scared sh**less dance*
any recent II??
Feeling the same way right now ):
Alright, I need some hard truth. I've been complete since 7/27, 512 MCAT and 3.82 GPA and was a student here. Does not having heard by now mean that I should anticipate a rejection?

Deny. Two years ago I was rejected pre-II in early December.
I have heard they wait until later in the cycle to interview a lot of their own undergrads. Partially to see who withdraws to go elsewhere.
Just got the call 15 minutes ago - ACCEPTED!!! They still haven't called everybody I guess haha
Also accepted! Heard a couple hours ago. Interviewed 10/11.
Super stoked!
Super stoked!
CONGRATS!!!!
When we're you complete lolz

well, here's to hoping there were a few phone calls the dean didn't make it to yesterday :-/

Ugh, deferred as well. Looking forward to waiting for another 0-7 months!
What does deferred mean?...
Basically you are in a purgatory of medical school applications and they can accept you at any time from now until May
Wait... I thought deferred meant you're accepted planning to go but you're pushing back starting until the following year?
Naw, essentially they compare your app to other candidates who are interviewed as the season goes on. That's pretty much a paraphrase of the email. Basically your app remains in the same active status (i.e. medical school purgatory).
