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

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!

 

[heiffer]

GPA 3.93, MCAT 520, secondary invite 08/20. Is it too late to submit?

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!)...

My II was a while ago. I was just stating that Wednesday was not the only date that they send out emails.

[mindral]

Accepted just after 9am! Interviewed on 10/4.

 

[SydSing]

Anyone from the 11th? Can't decide if I should hold on to hope or assume I am deferred. *le gasp*

I was on 10/4, also wondering if I should still hope for a phone call or anticipate being deferred/rejected

 

[waitaminute]

Haven't gotten a phone call yet so...anticipating the worst now 🙁

 

[sanst1306]

Interviewed 10/4 and accepted yesterday, except I didn't have my voicemail set up and they called me three times...embarrassing. BUT STILL ACCEPTED.

Feeling the same way right now ):

 

[theNDhopeful44]

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.

 

[waitaminute]

Just got the call 15 minutes ago - ACCEPTED!!! They still haven't called everybody I guess haha

 

[sav5716]

Accepted!! Received the call ~an hour ago. Interviewed 10/4. LizzyM ~70

[SydSing]

Deferred... I figured. How rude. 😱
Likely withdrawing but not 100% certain.

 

[jaykronik]

Deferred. Good luck y'all and congrats to everyone who got in

What does deferred mean?...

 

[jaykronik]

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

 

[NHgal1227]

Wait... I thought deferred meant you're accepted planning to go but you're pushing back starting until the following year?

 

[jaykronik]

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).
