Heh! How does late October sound to you?

Heh! How does late October sound to you?

I interviewed in September , only thing keeping me from just withdrawing is the very unlikely chance that i get accepted that they might have some money to throw around when other people withdraw.

 

[bmore94]

Has anyone been WL’ed yet? Or just As and some Rs?

Are delayed decision people hoping today will finally be the day?

If they’re going to be true to the last email they sent and notify us in March, today is the last weekday of the month. I really hope it’s the day! Good or bad I’m just ready to know

Sorry guys, spoke to Laura. They seem to be extending decisions through early April. Though, that doesn't necessarily mean today won't be a Feinberg Friday..

Thanks for the update! I'm hoping that they try to send out all acceptances with sufficient time to make travel plans to attend second look.

man...really thought today was gonna be the end of these Feinberg Fridays...sigh

 

[capriccio]

Extending into April?? Did they interview significantly more people this year than before or something? I really hope at least some decisions come out today, at this point I just want to be released from this limbo regardless of outcome.

 

[dodolol21]

See you guys next week same place same time

 

[psychhh]

The foot in the door phenomenon is so real right now

 

[aspiringMD47]

I hope they know that people accepted from this last batch won’t be able to go to second look because of travel expenses

 

[bmore94]

Maybe they already sent out all acceptances

 

[psychhh]

Maybe they already sent out all acceptances

Certainly possible, but I’d like to think they’re not making us wait this long to simply learn whether we’re rejected or waitlisted!

 

[crimsontidefan]

Trying to withdraw my acceptance from here, but not seeing an option to in the portal. Do you have to do it by email?

I just did email

 

[anonymous94]

Does anyone think any decisions will be released prior to Friday this week?

Well if they don’t I’m sure they’ll at least give us one more heart attack with that April newsletter

 

[usegooglechrome]

They should accept the rest of us waiting as an April fool’s joke

 

[bmore94]

im so curious what "early april" means...

 

[md_mph_applicant_EY19]

Just got a waitlist email from Feinberg

 

[aspiringMD47]

Just got a waitlist email from Feinberg

+1, will most likely withdraw

 

[Dcfan183]

Also just got a waitlist email. Does anyone know if I can include additional letters of rec as "updates"? I didn't get to submit ones I wanted to with my original application due to their requirements.

You can do that! I submitted an additional LOR later on and the admissions office added it to my file.

 

[anonymous94]

Still no email or portal update here...

 

[bmore94]

Is anyone else not able to log in to their portal?

It's still working for me

 

[bmore94]

any rejections/acceptances? wondering what it means to not have heard anything yet

 

[usegooglechrome]

Correct me if I’m wrong but based on last year’s thread it seems like they didn’t reject anyone post-interview

I don't know about last year, but there were some rejections earlier this year, I think in February

 

[psychhh]

Also got the waitlist. Does anyone know if you almost have to send updates to have a chance of getting off of a waitlist? Or are the ranks largely predetermined

 

[capriccio]

Have all the waitlist emails gone out at the same time in the morning, or are they coming throughout the day?

I sent an LOI a couple days ago and was informed that they are still in the process of decision-making and that all remaining decisions (acceptances, declines, and offers to be placed on the alternate list) will be released in early April. They specifically used that wording in the parentheses, so don't give up hope!

So it has to be this Friday or early next week right?? I can't imagine they would be making decisions after or during Second Look weekend.
