oh ****, is that like response to those who already interviewed? or rejection II acceptance everything?

People who interviewed in mid-Septemberish until some later date will hear either Accept/Reject/Continue at that point. I suspect probably we will mostly get continues, with a small number of rejections and small number of acceptances.

I'm pretty sure they don't reject post II on the 16th, just accept/continue
 
Lurker here. Was wondering if anyone knows when they will start reviewing us hold folks?
 
It means they like you enough to keep you around but not enough to interview you right away. We get rereviewed at the end. I think I read somewhere about 10 to 20 percent of people placed on hold are interviewed.


and out of curiosity, what does it mean if you are not on hold?

Those are better chances than I originally thought

I'd be interested to know if that 10-20% number is the percent interviewed, or the percent invited to interview. I'd imagine a sizeable number of people would turn down a late interview due to costs/acceptances.

I think it means percent actually interviewed cause they talked about people removing themselves from consideration prior to the interview.
 
Happy Decision Week to all my fellow mid-October interviewees. What a long couple of months it's been.

I've been looking forward to Friday like I used to look forward to Christmas when I was 10...."so not counting today, since today is almost over... tuesday, wednesday, thursday.... thursday is basically friday.... so 2 more days, basically...."

Exactly the same here. Have plans for Friday night?
 
Basically just waiting to be rejected and get it over with...one of my interviews was a complete disaster.

You were impressive enough to make it this far. It's hard to believe you had something the adcoms would call a "disaster". Sure you're not just being overly critical in a typical time of stress?
 
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you, but I'm in the same boat so here's another bump for this question 🙂

Hopefully we both get some good news on Friday. It made me wonder if most continuations led to wait lists or acceptances. I think it might be kind of hard to get this info though

I think maybe you could look back through threads from last year and the year before? See what kind of results continued people got there. I'd do it if I wasn't at work rn.
 
So from the looks of it that last reported II here was Nov. 17th. Is that right? Are we expecting more anytime soon?
 
I interviewed here Nov. 28. I remember them mentioning a March 1 deadline for hearing back on acceptances. Does anyone know if this is the latest they will tell you by or is it the first day they will tell you anything?
