Congrats and good luck to everyone. I interviewed but will be withdrawing soon because of another acceptance! Seriously good luck! You are all amazing.

Unless you've already been invited to interview and have to change the date, you should not send the email. At this point in the year I wouldn't expect many more II's to go out.
That's the part I don't get. Then why haven't they just rejected everyone?
Every AdCom has their quirks. Don't try and understand.
Got the call at 3pm EST! Interviewed 2/14, complete early August. LM ~80
Things should shake up the next couple of months with (1) Tufts now asking for a pre-enrollment deposit to hold a seat in the class and (2) applicants needing to relinquish all but 1 acceptance offer before April 31.
They told our interview group that they had a particularly high number of applicants this year. I know two people who were deferred from the program. Really hard to tell the prognosis.
Are you going to either of the second look events in April?
I'm going to one in Boston in March. I'll probably be at one of the Portland ones too!
Wondering if anyone can help out with a few inquiries.
Has anyone been rejected post interview Maine track? Or do they defer everyone they don't accept?
Have they finished interviewing for Maine track?
Do they oversubscribe like the Boston track or is the program too small to do that, and they only accept up to the number of available seats?
Currently riding the deferral train so I am very curious. Any input would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Huh, my Boston second look event is in April. Probably too many kids to have all on one day.

That is terrific! Congratulations! When did you interview?
Deferred today. Interviewed early February.

I assume you have already interviewed? My personal feeling is that a LOR from a physician with whom you shadowed wouldn't hold that much weight, especially this late in the process, as it doesn't demonstrate a sustained relationship between you and your reviewer. However, there is a reason why I don't work in school admissions, so take whatever I say with a grain of salt.

This sounds like a bunch of people--without significant/any ties to Maine--applied for an extra shot at Tufts.
Yup! I hope this link works - https://www.facebook.com/groups/225822177879840/
It's quiet on here! A few questions:
Any Maine trackers hear about the Maine Med scholarship yet? I'm hoping to get one of them!
Have people who interviewed in March heard back yet? I assume deferred applicants will be notified around the same time.

I interviewed on March 15th and I haven't heard back yet. I think we're supposed to hear back within the first two weeks of April.

You think deferred applicants for Maine track will here? I was expecting May at this point. deferred in december.
I mean, I don't really know at all. I think historically there has been very little Maine track movement just because of the nature of the program. However, I would assume that when the last group of interviews receives their decision, deferred applicants will also be notified of rejection, waitlist, or acceptance. Mostly basing this on the fact that the deferral is just to compare you with the rest of the interviewing applicants, I don't see why they would make you wait another month.
I was notified by mail that I got the Maine Track scholarship in late February.

This is based on...? Seems like pure conjecture to me.
Im in the same boat and crickets.... not sure what the chances are. Too bad because it was my top choice! Although, on a positive note, one of my friends who is a second year in the Maine track came off the wait list so...
So it seems scholarships here is completely need based south no merit scholarship. And the most a individual can get is 75% off tuition. No more than 75% and if u have outside scholarships that exceeds the 75% off tuition then they will lower your aid to make sure you aren't over
Last year's Maine track admittance was kind of weird. The regular track was overenrolled so they weren't able to accept more Maine track from the wait list and people from our class were actually able to join Maine track after the fact since there were still a few spots open. Given the headache it caused, I wouldn't be surprised if they were more careful with both Maine and regular track acceptances, so there's a slight chance for better waitlist movement this year, but that's just my thoughts, that's not official in any way.

Thank you! I'm headed to either Rochester or Dartmouth, though I haven't quite made up my mind yet! (PM me if you have advice/feels lol)
Best of luck to you!!

Based on the way things have worked earlier in the cycle, probably next week at some point. But I have no inside knowledge to know for sure.
Has anybody who interviewed in March heard yet? I can't stop checking my email/waiting by the phone
Is anyone going to the second-look reception/events tomorrow? Curious if any received any schedule about the events/locations etc. ?
I confirmed several weeks ago, have not received any info regarding the event, and am in the same boat as you.
Anyone received any financial info as of yet?

Nope. I think the application email said mid-April
Cool thanks
Just got deferred via email. Interviewed in early March. If you get accepted I think you get a phone call.
