where are you guys seeing anything new in the portal? The only change I ever had was the addition of the interview tab after I got my II.

There will be a decision tab in place of your interview tab. If you don't see any change, you are likely safe from rejection for now and/or still being considered for acceptance/final pool.

I thought nothing changed for ANYONE so far except people who had interviews and were accepted...?

Please clarify. Your application portal will change twice: 1. When you are offered an interview; 2. When a decision has been made. If you were offered an interview and no decision has been made, then nothing should've changed.

And no decision has been made for anyone who has had an interview so far. Correct?

I believe this is partly correct as some people have been accepted. No other decisions have been made to my understanding i.e. no post-interview rejections or final pool notifications have been released.
 
Is anyone on the waitlist yet? Or is the waitlist formed from the final pool?
 
Final pool IS, reapplicant! Yessss. Any news that does not involve a rejection is amazing news in my book! It's going to be a nerve-wracking but exciting spring break! :clap:

I haven't heard anything and I interviewed the week of Dec. 19, so I am thinking I got rejected.

OOS as well. I am wondering if I should call them and ask if I have been rejected.

Please let me know what they say if you do plan on calling them. Im going to hope that it isnt a rejection

Final Pool. They told us on interview day that we would be final pooled because of how late in the cycle we were. OOS and interviewed 1/9

So i see nothing on my portal other than my previous interview tab. Anyone else see the same?

Any idea what this could indicate?

I didn't call, but from stalking previous year threads (2014-2015, and 2015-2016), it seems that no final pool notification means they still have not made a decision for us. Some people were accepted the following Tuesday (which would be next week) and some people were put in the final pool next thursday.

So we are safe from a rejection? Can someone confirm that everyone who has interviewed will at least make it into the final pool?

I do not know the answer. I want to hope this is a positive thing.

If it is the same as previous years, everyone who has not heard back after interviewing will be put in the final pool. The acceptances, waitlists, and rejections come out in March.

I contacted the school just to be sure. They said that there is NO definitive decision for us yet. In other words anything is still possible. According to them we are not yet in the final pool.
 
If their interview season ends ~11 days (end of January according to their website) and one has yet to be offered an interview, assume rejection??
 
I interviewed on 1/20. Obviously, as you all know, they are only interviewing for final pool at this point. However, they did say that 1/20 was not the final interview date.
 
No news today either. Interviewed 11/02. Hopefully I get some love tomorrow. Is anyone else on the same boat with an interview around that time?
