Members don't see this ad.

I can assure you that they might. They also might not though, kind of a catch-22.

Lmao. that's not a catch-22 Gurby. That is literally the definition of a possibility.

 

[slippydubloons]

anyone know if they might release decisions tomorrow?

They told us "on March 1st" so I'd wait for then and be pleasantly surprised if you find out earlier!

 

[happyfacexox]

do we think that they're gonna accept more people this round than they have been on the previous decision dates??

 

[MC_Infarction]

They explicitly said March 1st at my interview.

You're not the boss of me

They said that at mine too but it didn't stop me from freaking out when I got a telemarketer call this morning...

 

[Ampharos]

I think that they are pretty good with being faithful to their release dates. Will say that if you're on the west coast -- watch out for a 7 am call .

 

[FindersFee5]

I think they're being pretty conservative with acceptances. They majorly over accepted last year, so I think they're gonna be pretty waitlist-happy this year.

 

[Hawkeyeperfect]

What time do we think they'll release decisions tomorrow?

 

[MC_Infarction]

What time do we think they'll release decisions tomorrow?

Sometime between 12 AM and 11:59 PM if I had to guess.

 

[Transmuralmi]

Not sure. But I will be waiting by the phone!

 

[Ampharos]

I just want my scrubs D:

Well played.

^I second this. I got the call at 8am while I was still in bed back in December, and had to answer the phone with a crusty dry-mouth croak of a hello. Don't be like me!! wake up early!!

 

[ikoala]

Well does anyone know when the continued emails are sent out? I I'd prefer to get that email early in the morning instead of getting Ghosted all day then crying myself to sleep at 12:01 Am March 2nd. Either way I'd just like to know.

 

[voteknope]

Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back tomorrow!! 🙂

I got a continued email around 6:30 (eastern) for the December round

Unforturnately, the continued emails have been released after 5:00 PM EST in both October and December. Thus, I'm preparing for a lovely day of anxiety-induced nausea.

At least Chicago does it all in one day. Some of these places will really drag it out.

Yeah NYU called people over the course of three days... then waitlisted/rejected people on the last day only. It was brutal

Sadly they seem to come at the end of the day, that's when I got mine.

We're also getting waitlisted tomorrow if we're not accepted right?

Yep, there's a chance to be continued again. Per my last continued email, "Applicants from the pool of continued candidates may receive a final decision on our third acceptance date for the cycle (March 1) or at any point thereafter."

Good luck to all, you have all worked hard and I hope you get that call today. ❤ I want that call as much as you do. Stay positive !

 

[happyfacexox]

[MC_Infarction]

Adcom is sleeping in today. 🙂

[Showman]

what time did they call? who called you (was it one of your interviewers?)?

I got the call in the late morning and my adcom interviewer called me. Vague for some anonymity.

I'm giving up after 4 PM EST

 

[NeuResurgens]

All is quiet on the western front

[milkyway92]

how is it that only two ppl on sdn got a phone call......why is this thread so quiet

It's possible they gave out a lot of acceptances on the previous dates and this one will just be light

 

[divinerecursion]

It's possible they gave out a lot of acceptances on the previous dates and this one will just be light

If I remember correctly, they said they give out equal numbers of acceptances on each of the three dates. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking 🤣

i would never give up on pritzker... its my dream school.

That's what they told my group on my interview day!

 

[TossMania]

Not to add to the stress but I got the call close to 9 PM CST back in December.

Likewise!

 

[milkyway92]

Nothing here... Previously continued in December

 

[justlisten234]

[dioxane]

no continued email here. is that good news or does it mean waitlist? i'm still unclear about the distinction between the two

 

[Cigar]

I haven't heard anything or received a continued email
