A. Got a call this morning from LN around 9:30am pt

 

[emoweedle]

Can confirm that I was also giving up before getting an acceptance email several days later in December. Also the acceptance email went to my spam folder lol

 

[DevinBookerMD]

No calls here either in December. Email showed up in promotions tab like a week later lol.

 

[BRWN2MED]

Good luck to us again peeps. Hope we can receive good news ~

 

[nsnsnsns]

Best of luck every one.

[Nostalgic119]

[MDapplicant578124]

This is bringing me back Memories of the painful wait from December that amounted to disappointment...

 

[Matt Penn]

Is it possible to not get a call and only get an email? Or do they always call?

Possible to not get a call and only get an email

 

[Nostalgic119]

Yep

Sent from my SM-G960U using SDN mobile

I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you have As in places you're excited to attend. Just out of curiosity, were you emailed/did your portal update?

 

[dgnsc]

Got the A via email!

 

[Nostalgic119]

Got the A via email!

Congrats! A portal update or personal email from your interviewer?

Personal email

 

[maryidafrancis]

anyone get a portal update?

 

[lemons26]

anyone get a portal update?

No I didn't... my guess is that probably won't happen until next week?

 

[Nostalgic119]

anyone get a portal update?

If I were to guess that isn't happening till tomorrow. This is 100% speculation though so I'd take it with a large chungus of salt

 

[maryidafrancis]

just wanna put out some positive vibes for everyone still waiting.. good luck guys hopefully we all get the A or at least get out of the waiting game in some capacity!!

 

[Ole_Toe]

I'm super confused about what's happening here. They are slow rolling acceptances, waitlists, and rejections, through call or email over multiple days? Is this how it went in December?

I think it was pretty similar in December. I got my acceptance email a week after the calls started going out

 

[Eponine1912]

Same thing happened to me! I think they give interviewers a few days to call/email and then send out the rest of the acceptances via email/portal update a week later

 

[iceberg413]

It seems that, in the age of neurotic pre-meds on SDN, a simple switch in order of when the automated decisions vs. the personal calls happen would make this a whole lot less stressful.

This is the most confusing was to notify people

UCLA ptsd?

this is chaotic- some calls, some emails, some silence, and eventually, portal updates.

should i be expecting notification via smoke signal? open my window for a carrier pigeon maybe? lololol

 

[ls1422]

UCLA ptsd?

I got lucky with UCLA actually so no damage was done there, but was certainly traumatized by Columbia this week. This one is so confusing it's not even traumatizing I just have no idea what's happening

[MD24NY]

A via email just now. Interviewed mid-January. Will most likely be declining. Good luck everyone !

 

[Gshah97]

Waitlist via portal now, no email (checked spam)

 

[themightychondrion]

ACCEPTED!!!!!!!! This is my top choice im so happy

 

[MDapplicant578124]

Wait list via portal as well. Pretty disappointed. Anyone know if there's any movement here?

 

[dazul]

Waitlisted via email too! Any idea on movement?

 

[walterwhite3556]

Waitlist via email

 

[Gshah97]

Some movement last year, end of May.

 

[PrincessPunchy]

WL. No reason to hold this, so the next person can bump up into my spot.

 

[Matt Penn]

Waitlisted via email. Accepted waitlist spot through portal.

 

[coffee&scrubs]

Waitlisted. I accepted the spot. We’ll see what happens

 

[throwawayofcourse]

ACCEPTED!!!!!!!! This is my top choice im so happy

Congrats!!! was this via email? with no portal change?

 

[usctrojan24]

WL as well hopefully we get some movement this year!!

 

[themightychondrion]

Congrats!!! was this via email? with no portal change?

Thank you!!! That's correct - I don't see anything changed on the portal as of now

 

[throwawayofcourse]

yikes i still have no news......

 

[Gshah97]

I wonder if they give out positions or general categories for the waitlist. I have 1 other A at U of Colorado, both are similarly priced and ranked. I did like BU a lot though and I wonder if being on the WL impacts aid in any way. Is need based aid still the same and available, etc.
