That's true, but last year I think they sent out February's decisions on President's Day (2/18/19).
2019-2020 Mt. Sinai (Icahn)
- Thread starter PapaGuava
- Start date
How presidential lol. I almost wish they would just tell us a day so I could know for sure when to possibly expect something, but then I know I'll be anxious about it. How does everyone else feel? Would you rather have a specific day like with MCAT scores or would you rather have it like this?
Specific day for sure! Then I won't be on edge for every notification I get
Specific day for sure. It adds unnecessary stress and anxiety wondering if every day is the potential day haha.
We have received multiple emails now giving us info and also asking us to RSVP.
Haha thanks, so when is it? A friend who is a student there said it is usually first weekend of March... that is really soon for those who have not heard back which makes me wonder if I will hear good news.
From my research, last year it was at 10:47
) but it was also on the 18th so ♀️Thing is the revisit day is on 3/6 so it would be more convenient to let the students know 2 weeks in advance as to one week for people to make travel arrangements... Yikes!
I have a feeling that they only want the people they accepted in the first round (cream of the crop) to go to second look to convince them to come to Icahn vs any other T20 school they get in. Just my thought.
I would think most people who get into/ interview at Sinai would be T20 applicants though?
That's true, but this is one of the only schools I know that does second look in March and not April and that in combination with all the icahn insights they sent makes it seem like a tactic of sorts. I don't know maybe I'm wrong
Actually, someone should just call admissions and ask them if there are any decisions released today Maybe I will?? Nah jk
Maybe I will?? Nah jkI just called and the guy who answered didn’t really seem to know much. I asked if any more acceptances were coming out before second look. He kept it vague and said I could hear back at any point and possibly miss second look.
I was told at my interview in early feb that we would hear this month. They actually said 1-2 weeks so likely today.
For real! It needs to be for this reason and the fact that second look is happening. I personally don’t agree that the school only wants the top students to go to it to convince them as opposed to us. We are all competitive plus a bunch of the people interviewed earlier this month are very strong candidates!
Why would they only hold second look for the top students who were accepted first wave makes literally no sense and I doubt its their intention
That was just a theory. I could be totally wrong! I'm just cynical at this point lol
It’s looking spooky for deferred ppl . Looking more and more like a pseudo wl/r list
One piece of hope for today is the times they used to send the Icahn insights. Some were sent at 4:26PM and 5:39PM on a Friday. These times definitely don’t appear to be automated. Let’s hope we’ll hear back!
Still holding out hope for today. February 28th is a pretty late February release date... especially with 2nd look the following week.

Alright since decisions were released on a Monday before, let’s hope we’ll hear back tomorrow!
I mentioned that I theorized that they're only interested in their first wave acceptances for second look day and that they would put off everyone else including deferred people until after. It's sad and it's frustrating, but I think that's what we're looking at
Blind optimism at its bestNope I think it’ll be this coming Friday
Congrats! Your optimism paid off. Was this a call or email?
Congrats! Was it a call or email?Accepted after being previously deferred!!!!
