Are you told your faculty interviewer ahead of time? Did anyone get the sense that there was some commonality between you two (research interest, specialty, etc)?

No and no for me

II just now! Complete 9/21 (the only one I completed in late September thinking I had no chance anyway!). Feels good after that fat R from NYU

congrats!! would you mind sharing your stats?

 

[moldydorito]

I want to send an update (pubs/awards I got recently). I'm hearing back this December. Should I send the update now or wait until December in case I get waitlisted? What if I don't send the update now and I get straight up rejected? Would sending the update now change their decision?

 

[CU18]

for those that stayed with a host - how long after you sent a request did you hear back and did you send more than one request?

 

[deleted994247]

fyi there are still II's trickling out. Open slots in late January. Doesn't seem like they're even scheduling February yet, so in December they'll probably be lots of II's as they fill up their February calendar.

Same day, I sent one request

Working this weekend, looking to kill time between admissions – happy to answer any questions (that are not about LOIs*)! I know the interview day is fast and it may be kind of awkward to ask questions to students in-person, so happy to fill in any gaps.

*LOI skivvy (because I've gotten literally 11 of these messages in the past month. I know this is an anxious time, but I cannot provide clear-cut answers to many of these questions. Disclaimer that I am merely a student):
1. I don't know if they help (but they likely don't harm).
2. Letter of Interest = you're highly considering attending, Letter of Intent = you will attend if accepted. Your letter is technically not a legally binding document, but I think it's very poor form to say you intend to attend... and then you don't.
3. How far in advance should I send one? Again, I don't know.
4. Is it better to wait in case I'm waitlisted? Possibly. At least, in my experience, I didn't see a LOI bump anyone from WL->A or R->WL (at least at initial deliberations; they may play a role at higher levels or later on).
5. Do I have to send a LOI? Nope! I'd say the vast majority of folks – irrespective of decision status – don't.

for the greater sharing economy!

[okaybanana]

What dates were considered early interviews?

 

[sadpremed121]

Did anyone who sent an update here post interview get confirmation that the update was added to their file? I didn't find a place to upload on their "portal" either. Does anybody know the protocol for updates here?

I emailed Ms. Mazza and got a response.

 

[sadpremed121]

Based on the last two years it’s always been on Thursday, so my prediction is December 12th.

Did you also happen to cure cancer LOL

 

[Aktak]

Did you also happen to cure cancer LOL

Curing cancer wouldn’t help me. They don’t accept updates pre-ii. Lol

 

[datboi_58]

Curing cancer wouldn’t help me. They don’t accept updates pre-ii. Lol

Lmao could you imagine curing cancer, sending an update about it and the school responding “sorry we don’t accept pre-II updates”

 

[u_raptor]

So looking back, decisions release the second Tuesday of the month, supposedly between 9 and noon.

Just 4 more days!!!!

 

[sadpremed121]

Except last year it was on Thursday instead, not Tuesday

Ya I think it was Thursday. Tuesday would be too soon lmao

 

[okaybanana]

Do people who interviewed in October expect to hear back soon or in February?

 

[u_raptor]

Except last year it was on Thursday instead, not Tuesday

Lol guess the guy who mentioned that originally was wrong or I was looking at the wrong page at the very least, there was a decision on the 6th one year! So we aren't too soon to hope it's this coming week!

 

[deleted993768]

Anyone who applied MSTP know when the December decision release date is?

Kinda guessing it’ll align with the MD date but wasn’t sure if anyone heard otherwise.

 

[Caterpillar34]

Massive R wave incoming based off last year's thread. Give it a week or so. Just a psa.

 

[strappysandals]

[sadpremed121]

The A wave should come this Thursday based off previous years. R and WL come right after

 

[Saturday’s Child]

Do they release R’s and WL post interview that quickly, along with A’s? Or do they wait until the end of the cycle for R’s and WL?

 

[sadpremed121]

Everyone who interviewed early (don’t remember the exact cutoff date but maybe before November) will hear back this week whether it be A, R, or WL.

 

[aspiringdoctor87]

anyone else super nervous for tomorrow...?

 

[strappysandals]

[aspiringdoctor87]

Calming the nerves by expecting things Friday instead. For some reason i remember Ms Mazza say the 13th specifically.

Not sure if I want to be nervous for two more days lmao. Good luck 🙂

These were the dates based off of the past 3 years.

Tuesday, December 13th, 2016
Tuesday, December 12th, 2017
Thursday, December 13th, 2018

It could be this Friday since that's the 13th, but could also be tomorrow since it's a Thursday. Hoping it's tomorrow since I have final exams right now and I can't focus unless I know my result lmao.

 

[RaitonKirin]

The MSAR says December 13th for this year, but apparently it said December 14th last year and they released decisions on the 13th anyways. Pretty sure it's gonna be tomorrow.

[RaitonKirin]

You got any time of day data laying around? Id expect more of a thorough analysis from you

Haha, yea looks like acceptances were sent in the afternoon around 12:30-1, and WL/R were sent in the evening around 6-7. I think those are Pacific times though.

I’d think so too but it seems like the past couple years have had a wave of pre-II Rs before acceptance day, which I don’t think we’ve seen yet?

 

[RaitonKirin]

Hmm that is fair, I didn't think about that. But it's not like it has been the same in each aspect every year either. In 2017 I think they released acceptances one day and WL/R the day after. I have a final on Friday so I really want it to be tomorrow so I can stop thinking about it lol.

In the same position. Hopkins please

oh wow. Do you happen to know if this is the case for all rounds of decisions (i.e. everyone between November and January will hear in the January wave)?

At least we know the latest is definitely Friday since they said before the 15th and I doubt it would be on the weekends haha
