If any Bostonians or anyone in general has an interview scheduled for Thursday, November 2nd and has the flexibility to change days, I would be willing to pay $$ to have your spot on that day. I have another interview in Boston the day after, so it would save me a cross-country flight. PM me plzzz

II a few weeks ago! OOS and interviewing in early November

 

[optimisticpossum]

Anyone know if they are going to call about acceptances on the 16th? I know they have met after mid-September interviews as a committee.

Complete 7/12 and nothing yet as well.

 

[boogiecousins94]

Complete 7/12 and nothing yet as well.

I was complete a little later (7/30 I think) but I also have strong ties as I live right near the school and work at one of the big research hospitals in the city but still silence

 

[Wdwdwd]

Does anyone have any information/updates on the Maine Track Program and interview status?

 

[optimisticpossum]

Has anyone heard anything?!

 

[caesars palace]

Has anyone heard anything?!

Nothing but they told us at our interview in September we should hear back on October 16th. I'll update if I hear anything, this wait is killing me.

[micalla]

Just got the call! This feels so unreal!

 

[It's a me Mariooo]

Accepted as well! Received the call about an hour ago yay!

 

[namaste7]

congrats on everyone with acceptances! Tufts is one of my top choices so I'm hoping for an interview invite soon....radio silence since my complete date of 7-17-17 though so my hopes are slowly deteriorating 🙁 this process is emotionally draining lol

I have a similar completion date too. Trying to stay positive--maybe we'll be part of the next II wave!

Deferred.. Is this good or bad news? Can't tell.

what does deferred mean

 

[mangogreen]

what does deferred mean

In the normal context it means that they cannot accept you in this year but you are accepted for the following school year.

[mangogreen]

Yeah, it’s definitely a weird decision to make.

My other thought is that “deferred” means a sort of higher priority waitlist.

 

[TheBiologist]

In the normal context it means that they cannot accept you in this year but you are accepted for the following school year.

wow, wait so medical schools do that? they give you a guaranteed acceptance for the following year?

 

[boogiecousins94]

wow, wait so medical schools do that? they give you a guaranteed acceptance for the following year?

I think thats usually if a) you request deferral and are granted one or b) they have more acceptances (people actually wanting to matriculate) that the class size is larger than anticipated and they ask you to defer.

This scenario is strange as it is quite early in the cycle and an ask to defer would seem to make sense more in the spring etc.

 

[fingerscrossed14]

what does deferred mean

Pretty sure in this context it means the committee has deferred making their final decision until a later date

that's what I would think too at this pint at least

Accepted via phone call!

 

[Potentia Virtus]

Accepted via phone call!

Boy, they're really burning the midnight oil over there 😉. Congratulations.!

 

[quietninja72]

Congrats to everyone who was accepted! The deferred status is basically you didn't get in now, but you'll be brought up at subsequent meetings and may get accepted at later meetings. Also for all those complete in July who still haven't heard anything, I know it's hard not to, but try not to freak out! I think I got my II in late November or early December, interviewed in January (along with 4 other eventual classmates) and I'm a second year now, so not hearing anything yet doesn't mean a thing!

This is one of the few times it's appropriate to call/e-mail admissions and say you'll be in the area. They may not be able to squeeze you in, but it's worth the call.

 

[ohopenyoureyes]

Has Tufts sent out any rejections?

 

[sboardclark]

If anyone has an interview on November 7th and is willing to change dates, I'm also willing to pay to switch with you! I'm coming from California to Boston for another interview, and it'll be really helpful to not have to fly cross country. Thanks!

I did, they said tough **** but it ultimately worked out🙂

This is lame that I know this but last year they started sending them out early dec

 

[mnakita01]

Congrats to those accepted! I interviewed last week and fell in love with this school-- the interview day was so well-organized and everyone was so lovely. Was told we would hear back first week of November and I'm stoked!

 

[DrPepperAnn]

Any Maine Track folks hear back yet? If they gave us a time frame at the interview, I didn't write it down

My friend who interviewed on 10/6 has not heard anything.

Interviewed 9/22 (first squad I think). I wrote something down about hearing back by the end of October.. Quite Antsy.
