This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So...I sent them an update letter late last week, and they sent me a personalized response congratulating on my update (it was a published abstract) and stated that my application is currently under review. They specifically wrote : "The review process is ongoing from August through December and we hope to have more information regarding your status in the coming weeks." Personally, I'm not super hopeful, but let's not lose hope!!

Thanks for the update! also, how did you guys send an update? You just emailed the admissions?

Also curious about this! And congrats on the abstract!

At least we have an expiration date on the II hope. New Fears Eve.
 
Does anyone know when people who interviewed earlier this cycle can expect to hear back? I was told mid-December, but I'm not sure what exactly that means.
 
My notes said we'd hear back in december or february. Apparently they rarely reject anyone post interview so we'll probably get an acceptance or a waitlist sometime soon.
 
So.... Looking back on this thread 2 years ago, seems like some interviews were extended around this time and that was it for the cycle. However last year's thread had no interviews extended from December on. Just wondering what people's thoughts are of the likelihood of any more interviews being extended.
 
Did anyone here interview early November and recall whether they said we would hear back in December or February?

Nobody interested in opining?

I think it's just no one really knows. They might send out some still if people withdraw from their interview which could open up some spots. Since a decent amount of schools respond throughout December this could happen with people who get into their top choice and no longer want to interview here. Just some possibilities...
 
Do we think they'll start calling with decisions Friday?

If they don't then that might mean we'll have to wait until after the new years (I hope not) since I doubt they'll call over the weekend or on Christmas eve
 
These campus news updates from schools are killing me...

But, the email said their office is closed from Dec 21st to Jan 2nd. So hopefully some good news this week

Should mean we get decisions today or tomorrow right?
 
For those who got IIs, what interview dates are still available? I am just trying to see if I have any chance left with them. 🙁

why didn't they just reject me a while ago like they did others lol
 
To the people who have been accepted so far—does your portal still say "under review" or is the "decision" tab now available?
 
I just got accepted with a full tuition scholarship!!! I AM SHAKING!!!!!

Congrats! That's amazing!

Did you just get the call or did you get it earlier today with everyone else? Trying to see if i should hold out hope for a call still 🙄
