It was an email!

How long were you guys deferred for before being accepted?

I was deferred on January 17th, after interviewing in September. So about a month.

 

[toemento16]

What did the deferment email say? Also, did anyone get straight up rejected?

[mysteriousprovolone]

Deferred this morning.

 

[toemento16]

Does anyone actually get WLd or Rd post-II? I feel like it’s Accept or defer.

Any feb interviews in here?

 

[survivors]

Are people who’ve heard something today east coasters? New Yorkers?

Edit: also, I don’t know about you guys but as an early interviewer, there’s something about how Sinai has handled giving out decisions/planning second look that feels awfully disrespectful and irks me

nah some people got rejected back in january post-I, doesn't seem like anyone has gotten WL'd

Are we gonna assume all deferrals now are waitlist positions?

 

[JasonG12]

Accepted after being deferred last month!

Accepted after being deferred last month!

was your time-stamp around 9:30am as well? I'm wondering if they're sending A's in batches today

 

[JasonG12]

Yep, I received the email around 9:15

 

[char8wl]

I interviewed the last week they had interviews. They said they were going to have two more waves of decisions. They said all final decisions should come that second wave (including decisions for all of us late interviewees).

 

[fellowpantswearer19]

Accepted!!!

 

[Premednyc]

Can accepted people also add when they interviewed? So we can see if the deferrals may actually be due to them still processing our apps.

I interviewed in early February.

 

[deleted994247]

So you think there is one more wave? I think that they have to tell people if they are waitlisted and then people on the waitlist have to accept their position on the waitlist.

It’s a wave, but we don’t know what kind of wave we’ll just have to wait. Yay to more waiting

 

[u_raptor]

So you think there is one more wave? I think that they have to tell people if they are waitlisted and then people on the waitlist have to accept their position on the waitlist.

Thereis at least one more wave. My defer email specifically says acceptances will be going out regularly from now to May, so I think that is beyond Watilist movement offers.

Wait hold up, did the end of your defer email also include "The committee was very impressed with your academic accomplishments, commitment to clinical medicine and community engagement."?

Yeah, I just didn't feel like including the whole thing

 

[u_raptor]

Yeah, I just didn't feel like including the whole thing

Just wanted to make sure lol, last year there was mention of differently worded emails so I was curious.

 

[the_expert]

Deferred as well

DeferRed!

DeferRed!

Dang all of us got the D huh

i feel like this may be a yield protection vibe; they may be waiting for us to be sending letters of interest or intent. i remember my interviewer pressed me multiple times about where else i had gotten in (especially in new york city).

Especially given (of the “top tier” NYC schools) sinai doesn’t have the best financial aid or affordability, so if they’re thinking you might get into somewhere else that does scholarships > loans...

 

[blurb_123]

On my interview day, they mentioned that they planned on offering A's/decisions in March as well so the "acceptances in waves" thing seems legit.

I also know non SDNers with post II R's at Sinai so they are a thing.

 

[ScienceGeek3]

Did anyone hear back after emailing a thank you note to their student interviewer?

Yes I did

 

[HPV]

Any guesses on when this last wave of decisions will come out?

 

[Fore7630]

Probably will be after second look I'm guessing

 

[HPV]

Probably will be after second look I'm guessing

When is revisit weekend?

 

[standard-deviations]

Probably will be after second look I'm guessing

ngl that’s just rude and I’m a bit disappointed that only some /“ top” students are going. Rather take an R now than be left on read like this.

 

[toemento16]

Just find it sketchy that apparently *nobody* was rejected in the last wave

 

[blurb_123]

Barely any of us posted. This last wave was for like at most 1/4 of all interviewees. Plus people who were R’d may not have posted.

 

[ScienceGeek3]

When is revisit weekend?

This weekend

 

[HPV]

This weekend

Maybe that means we wont have to wait til the end of March to get decisions

 

[Pluto98]

This weekend

Not anymore its not. It just got cancelled because of corona. srs
