Is this year's class 75 MD + 25 MD/PhD?

I think 80/20?

 

[neurosabre]

I think 80/20?

80/20 would be a proportional reduction but for some reason I thought I heard 75/25. Hoping for 80/20 though

I could be remembering wrong, but I believe on my interview day they said 75/25. MSTP is federally funded so I'm not sure about the logistics of reducing their class size for that.

Does anyone else feel like they’re a lock to get in one day then the next feel like there is no chance? I’m having such bad anxiety and mood swings about this

 

[scvu]

I kinda thought about sending a LOI as well, but is it too late at this point? I imagine they have decisions pretty much locked in and are tying up the final details.

Same here! Sometimes I think I didn’t screw up badly so of course they liked me. Then I remember that somehow they have to reject over half of interviewees and start obsessing on that one thing I said that was weird... but one way or another I got a cookie out of this so a total loss is not possible

lol "that one thing I said that was weird" haha that really hits home

 

[darth_chonker]

Atleast two weeks it’s a decision one way or another

What would it hurt to try? LOIs are free.

[darth_chonker]

Has anyone been called by dr. Kondis? Is it always your interviewer?

Wow! Very nice. Any merit money?

 

[marcosma]

He said merit may come in the next week or two but I need to accept offer first

Omg October?! You must have been dying!!! Did you send an update or a letter of interest?

 

[neurosabre]

I wonder why it takes so long for all of this to come out...

 

[marcosma]

I did not send anything

wouldnt be shocked if they were playing it more conservative with the reduced class size and just pull more off the waitlist

 

[neurosabre]

I really hope we aren't just sitting around until May 1. Was really looking forward to this being done around March 15

 

[sciencegodpod]

I also received a call from Dr. Glass! Interviewed in Sept, didn't send anything.

 

[darth_chonker]

Maybe today is the big day for calls then

 

[heterozygousrecessive]

Honestly... I agree... I hope it’s not the case, but it may be... I was on the waitlist alllllll summer. I was still on the waitlist when I started my app for this cycle... It was miserable. I really hope I don’t have to go through it again.

Wishing you the best! You’re the person I want to get in the most, after myself of course

Omg, thanks friend!!! That’s so nice 🙂

 

[checkingmyemailevery5secs]

Do we think calls will still go out today? :/

Even with smaller class size last year there was a pretty big wave of calls for a few days so hopefully?

 

[sciencegodpod]

Was he your interviewer?

No he was not!

 

[checkingmyemailevery5secs]

if it’s a dean making the calls it seems like it’s not as dependent on our interviewer schedules this year..

But only 3 acceptances when there were way more reported last year would be strange

 

[Saturday’s Child]

But only 3 acceptances when there were way more reported last year would be strange

A couple days ago, the Vanderbilt thread had a lot fewer reported acceptances than normal, but that was still their final batch of acceptances. SDNers may just be a bit quieter than in years past when it comes to posting A’s

We still have this week... let’s hope it keeps moving!

 

[darth_chonker]

I

No he was not!

do not like that

This seems like the case for many other schools this year.

I disagree. There was a clear burst in acceptances when they started rolling them out. I’m hoping similar case for WUSTL but maybe this it. I think we still have a couple of days until giving up hope 🙂

Last year final offers dribbled out from 2/28 to 3/4

 

[neurosabre]

Last year final offers dribbled out from 2/28 to 3/4

I thought a few people got the call on 3/5 or 3/6, which were a Tuesday and a Wednesday. Hopefully once they're done with the calls they'll send out a WL/R email quickly so we don't have to wait another week and a half

 

[bdawg0426]

NM. I see one acceptance on Friday of last week and one today so far. that makes 2 vs. 10 last year. Does that sound right?

 

[bdawg0426]

Last year the W/L was sent on 3/15 and I was told during the interview it we would all know something by 3/15.

They were 2 today.

[bdawg0426]

1 last week, 2 today...

I see the 2 now. Well that is 30% of last year's final group, so thinking optimistically, 7 more will get acceptances by Wednesday of this week. I wonder why they dribble them out daily at the end?

 

[darth_chonker]

Well I feel less optimistic about getting in now

 

[neurosabre]

I'm pretty much expecting a WL at this point. I'll keep my phone on vibrate until Friday of this week or so, though. Just in case. On the plus side, people got off of the waitlist on April 30 last year!

 

[heterozygousrecessive]

So... meme time? It helps with the despair.

SDNer: just got the call!

Congratulations!

 

[bdawg0426]

I'm sticking with last year's number. 10 - 4 = 6 left to go.

If we want to be more conservative 10 * 0.75 = 7.5 to fill rounded down to 7 - 4 = 3 left to go

 

[musician8591]

Congratulations!

I think you misread that post.

 

[bdawg0426]

I think you misread that post.

So much for optimism. In a thread where everyone is hanging on by fingernails to hope, "I just got the call" followed by "Me, an October interviewee" and "For the love of God, cherish it!" certainly seemed a good sign.

 

[darth_chonker]

I think you misread that post.

If he had more increased reading comprehension= higher cars = higher mcat = acceptance. Rip my man

/s if it’s not obvious

 

[bdawg0426]

So what is everyone's wager on the number of calls to go? 0, 3, or 6?

 

[darth_chonker]

# of calls and # of calls reported on SDN are way different. I’d say definitely more calls to go, maybe not on SDN though
