This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Congrats on the acceptances and IIs everyone! For those accepted today, was anyone in the mid-late October interview group?
 
WOW. That is a long time to wait with no word. Have you contacted them at all?

An advisor of mine suggested I email any school that I hadn't heard anything from after eight weeks, to inquire whether everything was in order with my application. I haven't done it yet though. I know that there was a clerical issue with one of my letters leading to each school's getting three copies of the identical letter. AMCAS said they couldn't fix it and that I should contact each school directly to explain. I guess that's a reasonable excuse to reach out, and "by the way, I'm in love with your school! Let's meet in person!" 🙂
So should I email like 18 schools? Lol

Honestly most of the time when you email schools they’re probably just going to tell you to wait. Lots of schools don’t send out II/acceptances in chronological order.

I think people email anyway because most of us are neurotic hahah

How did yall send thank you notes to yout interviewers? They didn't us their email lol
 
If your status still says complete and doesn't say on hold, or rejected or a II does that mean they haven't even looked at your app? I was complete end of July
 
I got an email today that I've been put on hold pre-II, OOS, LizzyM 74. Is there any reason I should be optimistic about this, or is it basically a preemptive rejection?
 
I was PM but I ran into all the AM kids! Haha that’s awesome. Did you ask Kareem about the contact information at Drexel or emailed later yesterday?
I emailed him today, and then he responded. Then I sent the thank yous to them today.
 
Placed on hold today. Submitted early August. OOS, LM ~71. Anyone know from past years if getting an interview coming off hold is likely?
 
People like you are the real MVPs.

Yeah man, I never understood people who pride themselves on how many acceptances they get. I have a ranked list. The minute I get accepted to a place, I withdaw from all the schools lower on the list. It's a crappy move to hog a spot when you know you aren't going there. I withdrew from an acceptance already too so hopefully that school brought someone off the waitlist for that acceptance.
 
Out of curiosity, for people who have heard post-interview decisions, what was your result and did you have a withdraw tab on your portal? This was a point of discussion last year so I wonder if it holds true this year.
I was accepted and yes there is a withdraw tab in my portal
 
What sort of updates have people submitted? I applied pretty late this year... wasn't complete until late September so I'm not sure if they have even gotten around to my application yet. Still a good idea to send in an update to show interest?
 
Does anyone know how the feel about calling? My app was complete mid/late july and I still have not heard a thing. Should I be worried? I thought there process is rolling admissions and I know of people complete a month after me that got responses already. Thank you for any help offered!

I called before Thanksgiving and asked about the status of my app, they led me to believe that it has not been looked at yet and once it is you will get some sort of update whether that will be hold, reject, interview. I have been complete since 7/20
