Mine looks the same. Sometimes you have to click on it twice bc for some reason mine shows the interview information at times

In MSAR, the timeline says “all final decisions posted 3/13/2020”. Possibly since that is the last business day before 3/15, but maybe we won’t hear until Friday.

Waitlist #21 IS. Literally the last thing I wanted was to be in a position where I would be borderline between eventually getting off or not. I just want to know where I'll be going next year... this is so frustrating.

Well I haven’t been notified of anything so maybe the big R coming at the end.
 
Alternate List, but perhaps the highest # on the list. Insert dumb and dumber meme “So you’re saying there’s a chance”. Congrats to all those accepted! Hang in there everybody else!

Lol OOS waitlisted again after making it to #1 on last year's list. Guess it wasn't meant to be, good luck everyone I'll be withdrawing my spot. If it helps anyone last year's OOS list moved 54 spots.

Does anyone know how many spots the IS waitlist moved last year?
 
Rejected, in state. Must have been really unimpressive on interview day to not even get on the WL because I felt like all my stats & everything matched well...

It’s honestly the most variable process. Last year I had an excellent interview with interviewers who would ask me a lot of questions and were overall quite talkative. I couldn’t connect as well with this years interviewers...try not to be too hard on yourself

I am just under that 54 and this is my top school by far! I just hope everyone above me had very successful interviews in other places!

Can someone explain what a "relatively high" number on the OOS waitlist is. I'm in the upper 50s on the OOS waitlist and want to know if it is ridiculous of me to think that I could get an offer.

No. 90+ OOS Waitlist.

I will be accepting my spot, but I must also begin planning to attend my other acceptance.

Rejected lol. Is something wrong with me if I've only been accepted to 3 out of 7 schools I attended interviews for ?? (2 WL)

Nah that is above average...

Now, if you were some kind of weirdo that was 2/10 thus far (RIP me) that would be a different story
 
Waitlisted, IS, #31. I’ll have to look for hard validated waitlist movement numbers from past years, and I’ll be riding the waitlist to see what happens, but statistically this means I won’t be getting in. Thankfully I have another good school that I was accepted into. Congratulations to all accepted, good luck to all waiting, and don’t quit to any declined!

IS rejected. Like the rest of the IS applicants I share your disappointment. Definitely thought I would be able to at least to make it onto the waitlist. This process is extremely humbling

Let’s hope so! If it is meant to be for me then let it be.
Thank you for your encouragement!
 
A little late to the party but I was also WL. OOS. Low teens on the WL. Most likely will be withdrawing! Good luck to everyone.

My friends around me have interview yield rates pretty high... 3 accepted out of 5 (2WL), another 4 accepted out of 5.. My bf was an anomaly got accepted three years ago to like 10 out of 15 schools maybe.. which makes me feel pretty incapable.

In addition, Iowa and one of my WL schools were pretty target schools in terms of stats for me.

Not that it matters in the end, but I need to know if I need to up my interview skills game for residencies.
 
Still no word from adcomm. Maybe they lost my file lol

Could any current students comment on the effectiveness/usefulness of the IMEI program?
