I interviewed Sept 16, 2019 and have not heard since. MCAT 516 and 4.00 gpa. Prematched to 5 schools.
I wouldn’t put much weight into the date of your interview. I interviewed in September but other individuals accepted today seem to have interviewed in February and January.

You already have 5 acceptances including UTSW...be patient dude. For some people, Baylor is their only interview.

Congrats to everyone accepted today !
Has anyone received a scholarship or a financial aid package yet?

Has anyone who interviewed in the month of November received an acceptance from Baylor yet? I've looked all through this forum and haven't seen a single acceptance. It's almost as if Baylor lost the cardboard box filled with applicants who interviewed in this month, lol.
Even though we SDNers are the cool kids, we are just a fraction of Med school applicants 🙂
I also got the call today!! I am over the moon 🙂 to those of you that interviewed early and were sitting in silence like I was, it’s not over so no need to stress!!!
Congratulations!

I also received the acceptance today! Very excited.
For those that were accepted today, did any of y'all send a letter of intent? Thanks!
When can we expect all decisions to come out (A/WL/R)?
Dean of Admissions told us they’d be sending out an email in June/July that’ll say that they’ve successfully filled their class and that they wish the best for everyone they interviewed.
She also stated that they won’t be sending rejections or WLs for those interviewed, so the only form of communication post-interview that will come from Baylor will either be an acceptance, or that email notifying everyone that they’ve filled their class.
quoting myself from other posts in this thread:
"In the past Baylor has let the interviewed (but not admitted) folks ride along till the end of the season and then eventually announce that their class is complete."
and
"They are predictable and systematic."
I love it when I'm right, y'all

Any word on if Baylor is considering cancelling second look/making it virtual? I know other programs have started to do so because of the coronavirus.
Does anyone know if we need to send official transcripts to Baylor prior to matriculation? I graduated well before applying so AMCAS has all of my final transcripts, which means I won’t be supplying Baylor with any new information.
On the call they said they are evaluating it and will let us know. I suspect they will make it virtual or cancel considering Rice has cancelled classes etc...
Yes you still need to send your final transcripts to the school you will attend. AMCAS, unlike TMDSAS, does not ask for transcript updates each semester during the application year.
So five reported calls for SDN Acceptances yesterday.
I feel like we are getting near the end.
Last year’s SDN thread reported 6 A’s Mar 25/26, and then 5 A’s April 11, followed by three more Pre WL A’s April 22. I suspect the A’s from yesterday and today were equivalent to last March’s round.

Did anyone send an update letter after the interview? I know on the website it says no post-interview updates, but at my interview date in Nov. one of the deans said they would only accept "significant updates" such as a publication. I'm considering sending a pub update but curious if anyone knows if there's a clear answer to this?

Just send it asap. If they don't accept then they don't accept, if they do, then you didn't waste time trying to figure it out.
If you dont mind sharing, when did you interview? Thanks!
Second Look has been canceled. They just sent out an email notification 🙁
Yeah I saw that. I feel like they should do something for people who are local though.
Agreed

Awfully quiet from the admissions office since early/mid March 🙁

All quiet on the southern front
Usually the schools are swamped with Residency Match things for their MS4s during March and early April. It's normal to have a lull in the action at this time. Later in April we'll see action.
Just got an email giving me a full tuition + fees merit scholarship!! So in shock 🙂 I assume financial aid things will be happening soon!
Congrats! I was looking through your post history. You’ve received lots of offers, so the bigger surprise is how long they’ve taken. Not sure it means much for others.
are there people who have heard nothing still? absolute silence over here. no A, no R, no WL

Last year they sent out acceptances the last week of April. I'm assuming it will be around the same time this year.

Baylor also sent out acceptances the last week of March and April 10 last year. It is possible that acceptances will come soon, but it is also possible that Baylor's adcom (probably mostly doctors) are busy with the current pandemic. It's stressful, but either way we will find out sooner or later.

RT cause Baylor is where I want to go lol
Yo we interviewed and got accepted the same day. And are waitlisted at least one of the same schools.
I’m still waiting on Baylor to offer some funding
At first it feels like we’re grinding too much for asking this. But then you think about the hundreds of thousands of dollar of potential debt. ffs. Funny how being reasonable almost seems crazy.
