This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

I interviewed late November and have not heard back as well - no A, no R, and no deferral. I’d expect to hear something today, I can’t imagine they still haven’t gotten to my app when they’re letting people from January know. Hopefully they send out more than one wave of As today for all our sakes, but dear god at this point I just want to hear SOMETHING.

I am not sure if this is entirely correct. I just looked back as well and in december there were acceptances at two different times of the day. Also in January pretty sure acceptance came out at different times as well. In fact, on different days

You are correct, thank you! Sorry, everyone for my misinformation-- I wasn't thorough in my search-- looks like people were accepted on different dates during the week they sent out IIs in January.
 
Congrats to everyone who was recently accepted!

For everyone else who is quietly suffering the agonizing wait, hang in there, its a grueling process. You will survive no matter what the final outcome.

For the rest of y'all hooligans who are losing their minds
Keep in mind this thread is full of your future potential classmates. Would YOU really want to be classmates with that kid that is constantly on SDN telling everyone how much they are losing it while waiting for an answer? This site is not as anonymous as you may think it is, and I know for sure that school admins and adcoms browse through school threads.
Relax and next time you feel the impulse to neurotically post, think "Is this really how I want to portray myself to my potential new colleagues?"
 
So are we thinking acceptances are done for the day?

Dude, really? People are super stressed and this is one of the only places to vent. Saying you’re going crazy waiting for one of the most important emails of your life isn’t concerning to “your potential new colleagues” at all. Maybe you had a great cycle and got it in early, but I find it kind of wrong to come and call out people who are just anxious and wanting to commiserate with others.

To anyone still waiting to hear: go as crazy as you want and post as much as you want, I’d still want you as my classmate 🙂

I agree. The process is agonizing. It wouldn’t be SDN if it wasn’t full of pure neuroticism!

yah dude really!

I'm not saying that being nervous and anxious about that email is not a natural thing, I felt the same way last year when I was waitlisted and then picked up in May. I have a roommate who got accepted a week before orientation, imagine how he must have been feeling!
I'm saying there are better places to vent. Friends, family, classmates, mentors, and pre-med advisors, some or all of these should be part of someone's support network. An online forum, not so much. This is the first of many stressors to come. If you're okay being surrounded by people who don't have constraint enough to channel their anxieties to positive coping mechanisms; if you value freaking out to random people on the internet instead of discussing issues with someone they have a personal connection with then :shrug: you and I have different priorities.

Lol. No one is like going that wild on this forum. Its an online forum, not a bar. A lot of us don't have our support systems (friends and family) readily available right now so we are passing the time by being silly on a forum. This an odd thing to get on a soap box over.
 
So we all thinking there's gonna be one more acceptance wave around 5?
