I was born with mediocre stats and mediocre ECs. Every morning I get silence from my top choice, every afternoon I get waitlists from my safeties. At night, I lie awake in agony until the rejections put me to sleep.

Edit: this is a joke and a modified spongebob quote. I was just be dramatic because the wait is agonizing.

I hope it's tomorrow but I'm not feeling super confident after catching a WL on Friday from a school I also felt great about after interview

Here's to hoping the post II acceptance rate is a little higher at Columbia this year than last

Did they interview less people this cycle?

Don't think there's anyway to access that data, but I doubt it. OOS post II rate will likely remain close to 20%, which sadly means most of us will fall

Even worse is that includes people that came off the waitlist so the initial post ii rate is probably even lower

Welcome to the Salty Spitoon. How tough are you?

 

[swissnational]

Good luck today everyone . That’s right. Today is the day.

 

[swissnational]

Also, to answer a previous question on this thread, yes they did interview less people this cycle. About ~100 less interviews were given this year.

 

[FranklinDelanoRoooosevelt]

How do you know??

 

[swissnational]

Well 1. I go here lol I’m an M1 and 2. I’m close with the people on the admissions committee.

 

[alh123456]

Any idea if WLs/Rs will go out today too?

Do you happen to know when decisions might go out?

Today!

WLs/Rs are more likely than not coming out tomorrow. I know As are today. In past years WLs/Rs always came out the day after so I think it’s best to assume that’ll still be the case here.

 

[lizbrown1]

In my heart of hearts I just want a school that sends out R/WLs first, so the remaining anticipation is happy anticipation

 

[premed8080]

Today!

Sorry I meant what time haha

Happy to edit - just curious why not?

 

[deleted996731]

Yea we’ve been posting initials for years. It gives some kind of clarity. Anyone get a call from MS or HT

 

[sadpremed121]

A!!!

 

[deleted996731]

A!!!

Pls guys let’s add initials. There’s nothing wrong with doing so

 

[sadpremed121]

I’m a little uncomfortable posting initials but if you want just dm me

 

[Med.Geek]

Because some are opposed to initials (perhaps to avoid adding some unneeded anxiety), I’ll forgo adding them. But please feel free to PM me if you’re curious!

 

[strappysandals]

Just seems weird idk haha. Really just for your own anonymity, i have no idea what my interviewers names were so its not adding any stress over here. Post em if you wish!! Congrats

 

[mass-premed66]

Just got the A

Gotcha, no worries. I figure there's only a handful of interviewers as opposed to a ton of applicants and was kind of going with the trend of using initials from earlier in the thread. Removed initials from my original post, but anyone can feel free to PM if they'd like to know!

 

[koalaburrito]

JUST GOT THE CALL! IT’S HAPPENING.
DM me for initials.

 

[deleted976595]

I get why they like to call but I wish they’d just update portal and then do follow up congratulatory calls. Waiting all day for a call that isn’t going to come will be miserable

 

[mass-premed66]

Did anyone catch the date of second look?

 

[frishoe1]

Accepted!

 

[sadpremed121]

Did anyone catch the date of second look?

My interviewer just told me it would be in the email we get tomorrow.

 

[deleted994247]

A! I love all of you

 

[medschoolthrowaway2020]

Did anyone catch the date of second look?

I think one of the MSTP folks already said it was the first weekend of April

 

[~Uncle Iroh~]
