Hello! I thought this would be easier than adding people to a convo. But as a recap we kind of realized that it would be easier and more direct to email admin at the program to see if they sent out their second 5 acceptances. The stats of it all make it most likely that they have, but, confirmation is closure 🙂

Thanks for organizing this! Let us know if/when you have some information 🙂
 
Hmm I also got no reply so far, let's give it another week? Something that I noticed too was that the C-B website has also been down for some time, IDK if that's just a coincidence or what

ok, I just heard back! They said they should have an update shortly. I'm guessing in the next week?

Do you think that means they haven’t told people or they just don’t want to say that they have?
 
I honestly have no idea what they meant when they said "shortly." I assumed it meant < 5 business days but it seems like at least another week of waiting is likely. I mean either way it looks like they'll tell us of some kind of update. But if anyone would be interested, we might get a more clear estimate if someone emailed Dr. Brennan or Dr. Weil directly. I would do it, but I already reached out once and don't wanna be nagging lol
 
Did everyone get the Columbia email? It says decisions will be made early next month for Columbia and Bassett (so I'm guessing they already got their 10)

I was thinking it means they haven’t sent out any decisions yet? Including acceptances?

That’s the way I read it. I could’ve sworn they said during my interview that decisions would be released five at a time, with half in December and half in January, but maybe I misunderstood.

That’s also what I understood at the interview. I thought they also said that they had already decided on the first five.

this has just been such a roller coaster like I came to terms with being rejected after not getting a call in January but then that mysterious email and now just ugh

literally same.

the only thing I was thinking was that maybe they're going to do Bassett separately, so i'm trying to just be patient through these A waves but I don’t know
 
I was accepted for the regular MD program, waitlist for Bassett! The Bassett email came two min after the regular MD email.

Does anybody have any idea how many people are on the waitlist?

Congratulations!! What time did you get the email??

From my understanding during the interview day, Bassett doesn't reject people. I think they accept their 10 people, then everyone else is waitlisted as long as they got into or were waitlisted from the main program. It's super confusing

Ah okay, so chances of getting off the waitlist are probably pretty low—thank you though!!! The emails came around 11:45 EST.

when did you interview?
 
purpleaux3 said:
maybe we'll all get in and they're saving the A's for last... but also i can't get my hopes up for another disappointment today
Click to expand...
this crossed my mind. in my interview the current students said Bassett likes to call with A's so maybe they still will even tho VPS isn't?
 
has anyone heard back from either since? it seems like some R's and WL have gone out so I wonder if we get something different if we're in bassett
 
It’d be nice if all schools could just send out emails to their whole applicant pool at once. It would prevent so much anxiety and distraction.

I know omg, like to be fair if I were less neurotic I'd be going about my day not on SDN and have no idea decisions are coming out but alas
 
I don't want this to be true but it makes sense. I remember when I interviewed that it seemed like when you are applying to Basset a bunch of things are done manually, so I wonder if they're just setting up their system/portal to explain how we've been double waitlisted (since I guess we can't be rejected, since Bassett doesn't reject?)
MDAesthetic said:
I feel like it might be safe to assume that we didn't get an A to Columbia (not Bassett) given that futuredocs got the results for both of them. Hopefully not true but seems like it

purpleaux3 said:
ugh I guess I'm still holding out hope that since we haven't heard maybe we got into Bassett and they want to call to tell us? But honestly yeah it doesn't seem super likely 🙁

Yeah that does make sense, actually! So I guess I would bet we all fall into 1 of 2 buckets, accepted to Bassett or WL at both. But this is all just a guess :/
