Members don't see this ad.

We can only hope... it looks like last year they deferred people again until March.

I heard from students that they changed the admissions process slightly this year. And the admissions dean seemed to be pretty sure that all decisions would be out by end of February. Here’s hoping for a short wait.

Following up on if there are any online groups for accepted students yet. Thanks!!

I emailed last week and there wasn't one yet then - we'll get an email from the office once it has been.

Anyone still Pre-II silence? I applied MD-PhD.

yes- sigh

 

[CupcakeCarabiner]

I can't handle the wait until the end of February someone help me

 

[excitingelectron]

I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up in case it changes, but maybe will provide some relief? When I interviewed on Tuesday (2/4) they said decisions are slated to come out within one - two weeks.

Are some of you who are accepted and are pretty set on attending Feinberg planning to attend the second look day? I am in this position and cannot decide if it is worth attending.

I plan on attending. I have family in Chicago so it will be nice to see them too. Also as noted earlier FREE SWAG!

 

[sophop]

Attending 2nd looks at my top 2 "favs" confirmed both the concerns with the other "higher ranked" school and the great interview experience at Feinberg. It was definitely worth it for my peace of mind and a drop in the bucket of the total bill for this endeavor.

 

[DocCirno]

Do people send thank you s to their interviews here?

We were told specifically not to during my interview

Even if you're set, maybe you could meet some of your future classmates and just have a better feeling of the school? Also going to maybe find potential roommates if I end up going here. Also mentioned the free swag lmao

 

[jecki46]

Yeah but then I thought it interesting they list the emails of the interviewers on our homepage

I asked this exact question earlier in this thread, and pointed out the emails on the page too, and received such nasty responses from some of the people here... #SDNPTSD

I was looking at that! Regardless, congratulations on all of your success this cycle!

 

[deleted972488]

Posting instructions from interview day is not a “nasty response.”

I sent a thank you to one of my interviewers.

 

[premed8080]

I know this was already discussed pretty extensively, but do other people have the "Acceptance Protocols" and "Second Look" tabs on the portal after interviewing? I wasn't sure if these meant anything

Did they reply?

Yea

Oh no. There were really snarky and insulting responses. It was a reasonable question. Just as another poster asked now. The responses were removed. Hope I don’t have to be classmates with them.

 

[sophop]

As noted above.... 2nd look was indeed a very good way to meet potential roommates and get advice on apartment options from current students.

I do too. I'm not sure it means anything, though, looking back at the older posts.

It did mean something but not anymore, they fixed it.

It was pretty cool to go back to those pages and see everyone speculating about what the tabs meant haha

Are the tabs back again?

Have any admitted students received info about CAESAR login? The financial aid page says to check there for document upload status.

nope

 

[ButImNotARapper]

All of the dates on the Financial Aid Overview page are from the previous application cycle. Is it too soon to email the school and ask about personal financial aid questions?

It's never really too soon for financial aid.

 

[Medapplicant19]

This might have been asked already but merit aid doesn’t come until March, correct?

Last year we got our CAESAR info and financial aid stuff at the end of February fwiw. Final packages were released on a rolling basis in mid-March.

 

[mpa19]

Anyone think the next wave of acceptances will be sent this week? They said mid-February at my interview

 

[Icebird]

Everytime I get a notification from this thread I SCREAM

On my interview day, they made it seem like closer to the end of February. Who knows

 

[alwayssleeping023]

really hoping feinberg shows us all some love on Valentine’s Day

 

[the_expert]

any idea when second look info is coming out?

 

[deleted972488]

Sorry to bring this up again, but do people who were deferred earlier have the "acceptance protocol" tabs again?

I don't.

 

[Kawigirl]

Sooooo...... I interviewed late January and have the following tabs now: Admissions Process and Deadlines/ Acceptance Protocols/ Second Look. The middle which brings me to a somewhat public looking page that says "Congratulations on your acceptance..." But I have yet to hear anything back about my actual decision and my status page still says "Interim decisions will be communicated at one of three points of time, depending on when you interviewed: November, January, or March, after the completion of our interview season."

That was the case a week before November decisions. Those who found those tabs a week before the release were accepted, those who found it on the day of release were deferred. I believe they fixed it though, but you never know. Can't be sure unless more people report it.

So.....I also interviewed late January, but I don't have the "Admissions Process and Deadlines" tab. I have My Status page/Traveling to your interview/Acceptance protocol/Second look/etc.... What's in the "Admissions Process and Deadlines" tab? Looks like there are two different tab arrangements? can we revive these theories pls? I'm desperate lol

Interviewed in late Jan and have them all. The fact people have different tabs still is definitely odd. I really don't think it's healthy to speculate though. I'm not sure when mine showed up either. Seems like it would have been way too quick for the committee to make final decisions

 

[Kawigirl]

Sooooo along the lines of not being healthy to speculate.... can anyone inspect the HTML page and see if their left navigation bar is defined by the class "current"

This is a whole new level of neurotic and honestly I love it lmao

Mine says "current" and I don't have the Acceptance Protocol / Second Look tabs. Interviewed early on and I was deferred in November.

Let the speculation begin

 

[Icebird]

Please do not waste your time with cracktalk theories on the ghost tab they haven’t been good predictors all cycle

 

[dreamitmakeithappen]

any idea when decisions are going out? the waiting game is killing me
