R today. Complete early September. Goodluck everyone.
 
R today. My top choice too. Good Luck to everyone else!
 
My status from mid-July until today was "on-hold", however, it changed to "your file is under review". Unclear as to what this means, but I hope this is good news since it is one of my top choices!

That seems to mean that you’ll be getting a II soon, at least from what I’ve seen!! So yay

Decided to submit an application here earlier this week... after reading these responses I’ll just consider that money poorly spent

Considering I sent an update in pdf and got rejected shortly thereafter, maybe text box.

JK I think the committee met and rejected me before they got the update. Either probably works.
So sorry to hear :( good luck to you at other schools !!

I don't think they have a preference; I also submitted an update via PDF.
 
This must have been a good sign! Incredibly grateful to receive an II earlier this afternoon! :)
Hey, congrats on the II! Would you mind sharing stats? In the “hold but sent in update” boat. Hoping there’s still a chance for II here too

What do you guys typically write in the update letters? New experiences or publications? Or just continued interest in the school?

Looking at last year’s thread, I think it’s most likely to go be tomorrow that people will hear back. Only speculation, of course.
Isn't that what SDN is lololol?

Placed on the alternate list just now, interviewed early October. The wait until spring to hear back is going to consume me

Do you mind PMing me your interview date? Also interviewed early Oct and wondering if I will be hearing back soon...

To be fair they don't seem to be going exactly in order, I interviewed in late September and haven't heard back
