Yeah I'm hoping not :/
I remember when the October changes happened it happened over a period of 2 days
I think the matriculation tab came on 17th for everyone, and status message was on 18th for some. I don't think anyone had matriculation tab come up for first time on 18th. Someone can correct me if I am wrong though....
Yeah I have a feeling all acceptances have gone out. I really hope I'm wrong but it seems like everyone got the tab around the same time last round.

Congrats. Did your portal just change now? Or is this the first time you checked the portal today?
Thanks! I got an email today around 1:30 saying status change and that's when I checked and had the matriculation form/fee tabs
How do you know your completion date? Did they send an email? I can't remember when I was complete

I was hoping for an II too but I can't compare to those impressive stats…
Don't give up hope that easily!Guess they're done with the acceptance offers...passed over twice now
Were you previously put on hold?
That's the date they sent me an email saying that I had a status update which was when my portal first said that my application was "ready for review by the sub-committee", so I just took that as my complete date. I had that same status from August 26th until today, I never had the "very interested" status nor was I ever put on hold.
It really sounds like the 11/19 interview crew got passed over LOL. Settling in for the long wait (or a rejection, but they haven't told me that yet) 
Okay thank you. I received that email August 11th which is when I think I submitted, but my status still says they will now do a review of my application.

I feel your pain. I loved this school when I interviewed and was disappointed when I didn't get an acceptance today. I hope we get in next round! People in last years thread posted getting in after being passed over so hope is not lost.

Wait, my portal message changed to:
The Admissions Committee has met to discuss your file. Your application is being placed on hold for possible acceptance at a later date. We anticipate making offers around October 16, December 16, February 1, and March 16. If any of these dates falls on a weekend the offers will be made on the following Monday. Only offers of admission will be made on the dates above.
Anybody else?

They added this too. I don't remember it being there before. Did anyone have this before:
Your profile will remain on hold, and you will receive no further communication from us concerning your hold status. The next status change you will be contacted about will be to offer you a position in the class, to notify you that you have been placed on the alternate list (the alternate list is formulated in late-March), or to notify you that the Committee will no longer be considering your file.

When did you interview?
Yeesh, that first sentence seems a little abrasive.
Mid October
Anybody? Somebody please help a brotha out!
There were probably about 16 in my afternoon interview group (on a Saturday), with another 16 for the morning group. It might be less per group for weekday interviews. It is a rotation system with multiple stations (like any other MMI). There are no "rest stations," but you get a brief rest period like halfway through. Hope that helps!

Rejected pre-II this morning. Complete late September. Received an email saying my status updated this morning. Ciao!
I believe the matriculation form and deposit are to be paid within 2 weeks of notice.
Any 11/19 interviewees on here see status changes beyond the "interview complete" status?

Still nothing! I'm assuming it's a hold by this point...
I've asked this before, but still wondering if anyone has any idea. If they are already scheduling interviews for march does that mean they are almost done with sending more IIs??
Nope. I called admissions, and they seemed to allude that we would see a portal update with a different message after our interviews were reviewed and that they are most likely running behind schedule.
Rejected Pre-II. OOS complete 9/17
