Members do not see this ad.

So you think they review our applications and think - yeah this person is interesting- we will review them later?

yes, this is common practice, it's called being on hold. note throwaway2020md wrote "internally put on hold." some schools will outright tell you that you've been put on hold, while others will just do it silently/internally (hence "all speculation")

 

[robin-rosexin]

All speculation but I feel that I may have been internally put on hold. I was complete late July and just got an ii this past week.

When are you going for the interview? Thank you

When are you going for the interview? Thank you

[robin-rosexin]

Good luck friend.

 

[proudofmykids]

yes i'm sure they hold applications, as that is common practice for all medical schools. i'm just saying it's a bummer they haven't gotten back

I see this in many places.

 

[calm_em]

R just now. Complete 7/23.

It has been a rough week for my spreadsheet, but I sincerely wish everyone still in the running the best of luck!

Should we be expecting a wave of acceptances next week? Based on last year’s thread

It's been the third Monday of November for the past two years, so I'd give it a pretty good chance on the 18th!

.........I've definitely been reading those old threads too much lately......

Does anyone know what interview dates might get acceptances?

Seems like there’s been no correlation

 

[AmaranthMoor]

It seemed like most were from October, but there was someone from August last year too! In even later months, they were still accepting people from September - so it could really be anything.

I've really gotta get off those old threads lol 😳

 

[deleted976595]

Fingers crossed as an early September interviewee

Ok what about 3 years ago tho? Let’s not get sloppy, people!

Haha, about that...😳
I actually read that one too!! If I understood it correctly, they didn't have the mid-November acceptances back then, or at least nobody reported any.

I gotta STOPPPPP lol Somebody PLS take my internet, I beg of u

Wowww leaving out inconvenient data just so you can get published? You’ll make a great scientist!

[DrogonTheDragon]

Idk about you guys but these commercials for the show Chicago Med on NBC are freaking triggering

Anyone else just staring at their phones at work/school?

 

[Ole_Toe]

Anyone else just staring at their phones at work/school?

I can still remember back when I felt like waiting 30 days for my MCAT score was unbearable.

 

[AmaranthMoor]

I wait and wait and watch my phone
(A choice that I do not condone)
And hope a call will set me free
From all my wretched misery

But Papi Pritzker sends no call
No email—no, nothing at all
Silent and still my phone just lies
And plays tricks on neurotic eyes

But still, I am so glad to see
Other pre-meds are here with me
As we all scroll through this here thread
And tremble in unyielding dread

But yield not, pre-meds! Do not fret!
The day is far from over yet
And so I read this thread and brace
And watch my cell phone with this face

 

[runmed11]

Anyone hear anything yet? If not, Maybe it’s next Monday since that’s the Monday before thanksgiving.

 

[deleted976595]

I’m at an interview right now and during my interview I got two phone calls in a row and then a voice mail. Thankfully it was on vibrate but I started internally freaking out. Pulled my phone out in the bathroom and opened my voicemail only to be greeted with “the warranty on your vehicle is about to expire.......”

I don’t even have a car.

 

[ButImNotARapper]

Every time an email pops up on my lock screen, I cry inside. And then it ends up being CapitalOne or American Airlines with promo. I hate this waiting stage so much.

 

[himalayansaltlamp]

Maybe nothing this week because the AAMC conference was so recent? :/

Has anyone been accepted before today? Or would this be the first wave

It looks like multiple people reported acceptances on October 15th.

 

[Saturday’s Child]

I believe I was told that the next round of A’s would not be until December.

OMG where did you hear this?? Spill

 

[himalayansaltlamp]

I think my at mine they said waves in Nov, Dec and final few early 2020

 

[shot_wasabi]

does anyone know what the typical schedule for a student here looks like? I can't find like a curriculum schedule on their website, only description of their courses. Are classes usually 8-12pm like a lot of other schools or all day? thanks! any insight from people who have interviewed would be really appreciated! 🙂

 

[MDHustle]

Good chance tomorrow’s the day guys! Last year, A’s came out October 15th and November 19th. The year before was October 14th and November 18th

 

[Saturday’s Child]

I believe I was told that the next round of A’s would not be until December.

Interviewed in late October and that’s when they said was the earliest we could expect to hear back. It could be that those who interviewed way earlier could hear back in November, but I feel like the verbiage was that “the next batch will come in December” regardless of interview date.

They started around 11:30 eastern, it seems (at least from SDN posts) 😳

I’m rubber, you’re glue, the shame of whatever prediction you share bounces off me and sticks to YOU 🤣

“Darn you Amaranth” I yell, wagging my fist as the sky, not having anticipated such skillful execution of the classic “rubber/glue” playground burn.
