Wish they'd send mine! I even checked the portal and it says that my application is ready! Pretty sure it's ready for some bon fire tonight.

 

[Abradolf_Lincler]

Oh, yay, they sent it twice. Nothing like a kick to the stomach when you’re down.

 

[arredand]

Pre- or post-interview?

Just got what feels like the mass rejection email.

So sorry to hear that! Did it change in your portal or was it just an email?

The portal does not seem to have changed, however, the recent emails do appear in the communication status menu.

No need to be sorry! I didn't check the portal it was just an email stating the interview season is over.

Here is the exact letter for those that are interested:

"
The Emory University School of Medicine has concluded the review of MD candidates applying for the entering class of 2018. I regret that the Admissions Committee is unable to offer you an interview.

This year, over 9,000 candidates applied for our first-year class. While we are pleased with the very high caliber of our applicant pool, the sheer volume of excellent candidates has made the decision process unusually challenging and has prevented us from interviewing all qualified applicants.

Thank you for your interest in Emory and for your patience during the past several months. I wish you the very best for the future.

Sincerely,

Ira K. Schwartz, MD
Associate Dean of Medical Education and Student Affairs
Director of Admissions
"

Just submitted an update yesterday which clearly didn't matter

 

[radiculating spines]

Sweet release of death granted pre-II. Complete back in August, LizzyM 83. Congrats to those accepted and good luck to those waiting to hear post-interview. This school is lit, wish they'd given me a shot.

I haven’t either. But it’s been radio silence since mid-July, so what’s another day or two? Lol

 

[willow84]

I just got the email. I guess it's going out in waves.

Mercer did this to me too! But the emails were a month apart.

 

[Seikuken]

Rejected pre-II, LM 75. Good luck to all those still in the running!

Finally got the rejection email after 7 months of waiting. Congrats to you guys with acceptances, seems like a killer program!

Is second look really in March 15? I've heard no word of it and figured with it so close they'd have something.

Second look is April 20th. There's also an multicultural affairs weekend on the 15th.

 

[Jsmith1995]

The last batch of acceptances should have been mailed recently right? Also when does an email go out to those accepted?

 

[MadeinMontana]

They’re mailed out Monday

For the decisions being released on Monday, the portal will be updated on Tuesday for those accepted correct?

Correct. From previous posts it seems like the portal will be updated around noon on Tuesday

Thanks! However, if we are not accepted, the portal won't be updated and the waiting continues? We won't be notified of a WL or R on the portal?

Website says that they tell waitlisted students by email. I would assume that would take at least a couple more days

 

[shortcoatdream15]

From what I understand, WLs and Rs will come on March 30th

 

[DCS600]

My portal is down, anyone else?

[MedicalDoge]

[FUTUREDOCED]

Nah, I'd bet this is either nothing or an acceptance. They're not sending out rejections tomorrow

How do rejections and waitlist work? What’s the schedule like?

I lost my yellow sheet from interview day but I'm pretty sure it said that all post-II Rs and WLs will go out March 30th

Sometimes I see that with random sites and it works again if I go into incognito mode or different browser, have you tried that?

Yea I think it was happening because I was using my phone

 

[akb5633]

Not to cause widespread panic...but check your portals, mine is updated. And so happy to say I’m ACCEPTED!!!

 

[donginator]

ACCEPTED Y'ALL! Check your portals!

 

[MedicalDoge]

OMG accepted!!!! So shocked. Barely slipped in to their second to the last interview date due to a cancellation. Life is absolutely insane!!! Idk why they picked me but I'm so honored.

Omg yes congrats!! Same here!!!! For the people in future cycles looking through this thread if you are called super last minute in February you have a very real chance of getting accepted! I had completely given up until I got invited to basically interview that same week in Feb. It’s true what they say, it’s not over until it’s over!

 

[DSTdoc]

Accepted! So excited and still in shock!
