Does anyone still have the "Your M.D. File is now complete. The sub-committee will now do a review of your application. Once this review is complete, you will receive a status update regarding your profile." status?
I submitted back in August and it doesn't even look like they've seen my application yet...

Dumb question, but are hotel rates the school have on their site just there to give you a general sense of the rates to compare one another? I called the hotels today and their offers (with the discount) were definitely not what the school suggested it would be... haha.

It seemed like they just gave us an old document with outdated information since all the rates listed were all quite a bit lower than the ones that were actually offered at the hotels.
 
How many applicants are in each interview group? And is it a rotation system where the interviewees keep moving between stations? Lastly is there a rest station as well or all Q&A?

Can some kind soul who's called these hotels post the updated rates for some of these hotel?
 
Has anyone seen last year's thread? It looks like there was a lot of confusion about 12/15 or 12/16 being the decision date, and then some acceptances coming out 12/17.... tomorrow's the day, right? 😵
 
Aaaaaaaand on hold- interviewed 12/10.
This could be waitlist #3 of the season, lovely!

They probably didn't get to your file with voting as it was so close to a decision date. I'm assuming the earliest you'd probably hear would be in February. Don't lose hope!

Definitely don't lose hope, but they said on 12/10 that we would be part of this group.

So just a reminder: on October 17th (the first acceptance date,) accepted students saw a "matriculation" tab appear on their portals without getting an update email, so don't forget to be checking your portals. Good luck everybody!

What status did you have after the interview? Did you ever receive the "your interview is now complete and your app will be reviewed by the committee" status? Or did it go straight to the hold for re-review status?
 
Does anyone who interviewed 3-4 weeks ago still have the "your interview is now complete" status? Or does anyone in the 12/10 group still have that status still? Its interesting to see that some people in the 12/10 group already received a decision.

That could be good news for you. I don't see any other reason for no status change.

For 12/10 interviewees, which day did you get the "Your interview is now complete! The Committee will now do a review of your application. Once this review is complete, you will receive a status update regarding your profile." status?

Ive been creeping all daya and I dont know if anyone has gotten one yet today. I'm hearing to be checking around 6pm and even into tomorrow morning
 
Just to clarify, they pull from the hold list as a whole on each decision date for possible acceptance, right? For example, someone placed on the hold list back in October would be in the running for an acceptance today and again on Feb 1st and March 15th?

Yep. The list just keeps growing and then the top 25% are pulled each time

I don't think they're pulling the top 25% of the list every time. They're pulling 25% of the class.

My bad. That is cool then because that would make it more advantageous to interview earlier but the last two dates would pretty much be a wash again since they interview about 800 and have a class of about 200 and should have interviewed almost everyone by then.
 
The only disadvantage that I see with late interviewing is if they interview way more people in the last quarter than in earlier quarters. As long as the number of interviewees in all quarters are roughly the same, there is no advantage/disadvantage right? Does anyone know if they spread out the interview spots evenly or if they are more packed near the end in February/March?
 
From past posts, it seemed like the first indications went out Oct. 17, a day after the supposed Oct 16 notification date. Maybe nothing to expect until tomorrow.
Has anyone called to see if they could find out over the phone?
