Were you complete early too? We have similar stats (Im assuming you have strong ECs...I dont) but still no axe and I was complete early/mid august.

Oh no I was not done early by any means. I got my complete email on October 13.
 
I got mine on 8/16 and am praying to Yeezus to send me that Chi Town love.
Do you think sending an update consisting of pictures of Kanye West, Vic Mensa, and Chance the Rapper would boost my chances significantly?

Im personally sending every adcom a copy of Chief Keef's "Finally Rich" album with a special version of "Dont like" that goes "Rejected app, thats that ish I dont like"

I'm going for Michael Bolton's "How am I supposed to live without you". He's not from Chicago (from New Haven, Yale, funnily enough), but just reiterating my neurotic desperation 🙂

We're not supposed to hear back until late February.

I thought they said early February on my date in the first week of December, but someone said they heard back a few weeks ago who interviewed in late November.

My interview was early December and they said those in December were too close to the holidays for deliberations. According to them, we would be notified late February. It would be considered a bonus if it came out earlier.
 
Just got an unexpected II- can anyone tell me about interview day here?

It was very laid back and interesting! You have 3 interviews (One with a student, One with admissions faculty, and One with a professor). You can sit in on a few classes and you meet a ton of students! Very well done day and not stressful

Thank you!
 
anyone else complete in july/august and haven't heard back? I sent a major update at the end of december so maybe they're reviewing that? Losing hope as each day passes considering they stop interviewing at the end of January

I was complete mid August and sent an an update in October and one today (total added 30 hours of shadowing, new community volunteering, new clinical research lead with 800 hours to date and an abstract, more work with the HIV/LGBT community) so some major updates to some weak points in my app (besides my stats....those aren’t gonna budge) . Honestly kinda surprised i haven’t heard with my LM being 67 which is def a lot lower than their average.
 
Spoke too soon. Got rejected just now. LM 67 so not surprised and knew it was a long shot.
 
People who have been accepted:
Are your portals showing anything for the "letter"/"information page" tabs under "admissions decision"?
 
Those who have interviewed: did you send thank you notes to your interviewers? They didn’t mention during the interview day if they specifically want them, don’t want them, or don’t care

No mention = don’t care
