Just gonna ask again because I saw that it didn't get a response earlier but... do they do post-ii rejections or is it typically just silence?

In the past they didn't send rejections until June and that was post interview I think so from what I could tell it was just silent rejections for pre-interview people but the thread was super long (43 pages) so I didn't look super deep.

But also people reported getting interviews all the way through March so I'm confused how this year they're supposedly done interviewing already? Did they change the way they do things this year?

I think last year the students got an email indicating that the class was filled and that acceptance will be released if a spot opens in April.
I assume this year will be the same case. Dean Hall did mention that they are doing a ranked waitlist this year.

They shortened the interview season, yes.

Dang i was holding out some hope for here still haha, guess my last tiny bit of hope for having a shot at the cali dreams is it Stanford pulls through :p
 
Weird flex but ok

Sorry I just realized that makes it sound like Ive actually interviewed there but its been silent from there too. Meant there's still a little hope there because they've been known to send interviews through january in the past so gonna hold out hope for one haha.

Hmmm...a bit vague with respect to any more invites going out, but I guess it could still happen via a very last minute invite. Good to know I can cross this one off my list after Jan 31st.

Also, if they didn’t review my app, I want my money back ;)
 
Received official rejection today. I never received a secondary, so completely expected

Does anyone know when PRIME applicants who got deferred to regular MD are going to hear back?
Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone knows the timing. Some folks, who were deferred from other programs to MD only, mentioned earlier that there are interview dates set for late January. It’s possible that they will still release II’s this month if spaces are open. After January, they are planning to get back to PRIME applicants by early March, so I would expect that people who were not offered II’s would hear back either then or (hopefully) earlier.

LOL, maybe never. When I called them about our PRIME predicament a few weeks back they were still deciding if they were even going to consider us for regular MD.

Does anyone know when financial aid packages will be sent out for DGSOM?

You should have gotten an email a day or two after your acceptance about how to apply. I’ve already submitted the paperwork and received my award.
