R last night. Complete in August

 

[himalayansaltlamp]

Does anyone know how the next few rounds of acceptances work? Is it monthly or?

 

[texasvandy]

They must have set up a R schedule for few every day to make it look like they have not just taken people's money..

Hi guys, does anyone know how we should submit thank you letters to Pritzker? Should we email them to the admissions office or to each interviewer individually?

 

[marcosma]

Has anybody been able to find more info about revisit weekend? I know it’s April 3-5th but does anyone know anything about the schedule of it?

No other info than what I got in the admissions packet which just said plan to be there through Sunday! Anyone know of an admitted students group on fb or something?

 

[callmedr55]

Anyone know when the next wave of decisions will be?

 

[AlexCarusoStan]

Anyone know when the next wave of decisions will be?

/Is there going to be a larger release of decisions later in the cycle? The few waves of acceptances have been quite small compared to previous years.

I hope so! 4.5 months post-II and still holding out that I’ll get good news since they’re my top choice. Someone said they are transitioning to non-rolling admissions a few pages ago so hopefully they were correct about that because this silence feels so bad otherwise.

Same boat, interviewed August 12.

 

[thesecretisme123]

Interviewed this week and said decisions would come on last week of February, or first week of March depending on the admissions committee.

Interviewed this week and said decisions would come on last week of February, or first week of March depending on the admissions committee.

But was the last week Feb / early March relative to recent Interviews, or for ALL interviews since August?
I am wondering whether early interviewees passed over on the monthly batches means soft R versus like Northwestern where 70% of their acceptances come in late Feb/March no matter when you interviewed.

 

[deleted993768]

Does anyone know the turn around time for the MSTP decisions after the interview?

 

[standard-deviations]

Hey, I have a few questions.

1) Would it help to send an interest letter (with minor update) if I interviewed back in October? Or is my decision likely made already?

2) Anyone know if we need (or should) submit any financial aid docs prior to acceptances in late Feb/early March?

 

[MoistTowelette]

Who have you addressed update letters to- dr. Carter or dr. MarcAngelo or ms. Kellar-sharpe?

I've just said "Dear Admissions committee"

 

[preprepremedaf]

So probably no batch of decisions will be released this month? :O

 

[spontaneous23]

Do you guys know if Pritzker re-evaluates merit aid at any point after admission? They’re like my top choice and I got admitted the first day but without scholarship unlike most early admits

 

[spontaneous23]

If you look at last year’s thread, some people did get updated financial aid packages. I’m sure it will shift as people withdraw or get other competing offers, so don’t lose hope!

Thank you for letting me know! 🙂

 

[WootWoot5]

If we interviewed early (sept/oct) and haven’t heard back, should we assume the worst?

Nah, a student at lunch told me he interviewed in September and got accepted in March.

Ahh.. thanks for sharing that. Looking at threads from past years scared me haha

Yeah in last year's thread, there were two august interviewees that were ghosted and subsequently waitlisted in March. I interviewed in August. While it was my first interview, I felt really strongly about my performance and loved the school. But I was also surrounded by GOD applicants, so who knows what happened to my app. Hoping they remember who I am come March :/

 

[peanuttbuttah]

this means you're a god applicant

I’m in the same situation as you. Interviewed the first September date and felt it went strongly but I’ve been ghosted ever since. My hope/theory is that they score applicants and outright accept ones with above a certain threshold and then at the end of the application cycle accept the next X highest scores. So hopefully we’ve been scored highly enough that we’ll stack up favorably compared to everyone that interviewed after us!

I hope so! Your theory lines up with what i've been reading and sorta what they said on my interview day, so im hoping it holds true. Best of luck to you

Also interviewed in August, also been ghosted 🙁

 

[runmed11]

Since there were no (reported) decisions this month, seems like maybe they wont release any more until March... Interviewed early oct. and haven't heard anything.

 

[SmittyW]

Also interviewed in early oct. and haven't heard. I think they are really taking this transition to non-rolling and running with it. Let's hope all this silence is a good thing...

In last year’s thread when you read through, were there any actual Acceptances for August /early Sept Interviewees once Feb/March came around?

 

[Med.Geek]

Any word on when the next As will go out?

According to my interview day, we should expect to hear a lot of A's around March

 

[deleted993768]

Anyone know the stats for the U Chicago MSTP interviews? Like how many people interview, how many get accepted, how much waitlist is used?

 

[MoistTowelette]

According to my interview day, we should expect to hear a lot of A's around March

Did they mention approximately when in March? Need to know if I need to buy plane tickets b/c it will overlap with another school.

Are you talking about revisit? When is that?

 

[MoistTowelette]

Awesome. Thanks! Fingers crossed until then haha

 

[MoistTowelette]

From this compilation forum, its April 3-5.
Here's the link for your perusal 2020 Second Look Weekends Compilation

 

[deleted976595]

I thought we'd hear mid-Feb?

I think last year was like the very last day of February. Not sure about other years though. It would be nice to hear back soon considering I’m almost 6 months post-interview...

Yea man, nearly at the 7 month mark here lmao. Can’t believe it’s been this long

 

[smallpremed]

Have they sent out the details for Second Look yet? Do the spaces usually fill up fast/ will there be space for people accepted in the final wave?

they sent out an email about revisit ~30 mins ago!

 

[proudofmykids]

Do we know if the final wave is a Large wave relative to the rolling Acceptances already sent?

 

[Med.Geek]

Yup, it'll be a larger wave!

 

[proudofmykids]

Yup, it'll be a larger wave!

Great, so like a catch-up catch-all wave spanning all interview dates?
Sounds similar to how Feinberg described their last wave.

 

[Droseraceae]

Did everyone who interviewed get this, or just folks who were already accepted?

 

[mzlipton]

I think only accepted students got it. I didn't get an email about it, and I'm still waiting to hear back about a decision post-interview.

Interesting. I’ve been accepted and I don’t think I got an email about that yesterday
