What is the latest date of Interview so far for those with the Acceptance Protocol link?

So those who have interviewed... I know they said not to send thank you notes... but then they put your interviewers and their emails right on portal, so did y'all send them anyway?

Bumping this for all those who have interviewed... did anyone send thank you's?

Reading y'alls conspiracy theory (which I like btw), did you ever try checking threads from previous years? It seems like an IT issue, which usually persists year to year. I doubt someone in admissions was able to mess with the code or settings like that.

the truth of the matter is that if they told you not to do something, just don't do it. The same thing with UCSF. Strictly no contact with your interviewers.

And if they told some applicants to do something and others not, depending on the day and which admissions staff was speaking? Hmmmm... not so clear. And so, just for your info, my roommate DID write thank you notes, and they were accepted, warmly received, and he got a supportive response from all three interviewers. Maybe a little less snarkyness would be nice when responding to a reasonable question. At least I'm not asking, what does your portal say? when were you complete? is this a soft R? do I have a chance? and other complete nonsense asked every day on this formum over and over. I actually asked a real question. Thanks for your helpful response. Hope you get the same when you need it. P.S. Kindness is a doctor skill.

that's true. In the case of UCSF, they wrote that down in the packet they gave us. No.1 no contact with interviewers.
 
from my interview day they said no thank you notes to the admissions office (bc they would have to add it to your file which meant more work) but did not say anything about contacting interviewers etc. I asked for emails from all of my interviewers and I think sending a thank you note will not count against you.

For updates, should I include it as an attachment in the email or just as the email itself?
And if attachment, what should I put in the email?
 
for those that did send a pre-II update, did you get an email confirmation reply from them?

So for those with the Acceptance Protocols and Second Look links in their portal, did any of you Interview within the last ~6 weeks (on or since Oct 9)?

I have been browsing last year's Feinberg thread, and it appears that decisions were sent on Fridays at around 6pm Central Time. I'm hoping that means decisions/deferrals are released tomorrow. They could be released next week, but I hope that is less likely because of Thanksgiving.
 
So no more IIs from Northwestern either? I’ve been seeing that for a couple schools recently but it would suck I really thought I had a shot here.
