Did you call them or get an email regarding them sending it out in batches because people are worrying it might be good or bad news but if they are sending them just in batches then the email means nothing. FYI I didn't get email either.So admissions just said they were sending em out in batches to avoid getting a bunch of responses. So there’s still hope for those of us who haven’t gotten them
Called. Maybe it could be spread out over days? Idk. I told them my name and that I interviewed but it sounds like anyone who interviewed is getting one bc I doubt she recognized my name. Either way it was really nice that they even told me that info, most schools would’ve said 🤚
Hopefully that means that the waiting will end shortly after they receive all the responses from the email waves. It’d be nice to know one way or the other finally.
I really feel like there is a much better way to obtain this information than emailing each applicant. Props to them for going through all these emails.
Props to them? How about they just make a decision about a candidate and give them an answer? They owe that to us. It seems they are so busy trying to protect their "yield" that they have lost their way. Honestly...we have no way of knowing what they are doing, but it doesn't feel like a particularly efficient system. We all know they are going to lose a certain percentage of their class to "other" NC schools...so JUST FIGURE THAT INTO YOUR CALCULUS for building a class and get on with it. I think the BSOM wants it to look like they are more competitive than they are. It just is what it is--doesn't take a rocket scientist to interpret the admission stats. Stop trying to spin it in an effort to make the world believe it is something different than it is! Make an offer to those you think are good for your school and send the others to the WL or reject them. Sorry...rant over.
I really don't have an axe to grind so I will let their stats speak for themselves:

I totally agree. There's a lot of emails and if it is not an acceptance email or phone call it means absolutely nothing. Everybody is going to look for some hope for an answer so that leads to a bunch a unnecessary stress and speculation.
Chin up and continue to persist! You will be a great doctor! This is a brutal process🤗🤗virtual hugs!
I’m so sorry to hear that.
A previous poster mentioned they called admissions and that they were sending them out in waves.
Please don’t put any weight on this email, you can get it and be WL or get R! It’s a crap shoot. Honestly this process seems like it has no logical pattern to it! Just don’t check SDN for a long time, live your life because once we get in it ain’t easy either! I’m gonna try and follow my own advice here. Hang in there fellas!!! It’s going to be a bumpy ride but we all will land on our two feet no matter what we end up pursuing this fall!
I actually saw that - just wanted to keep everyone updated!
Everyone is getting this from what was noted previously in this thread.
Ah didn't see that
I put in the message that I am still very interested in consideration to pursue a position at Brody. Something like that, literally 1 short line. They responded "received, thanks!"
I honestly don't think it matters. Some people haven't received it yet at all, and some people are getting the email multiple times. I'm sure they have many emails to go through. Brody has been pretty good with acknowledging emails, so I'd guess that they maybe they are inundated with emails and haven't been that deep in their inbox or they may have just forgotten to send a response. I'm sure if you call, they can confirm receipt of your email.
I got a "received" note after replying. I would give it a few days and then follow up if you deem necessary.
My god, END of april? That’s late af, especially if it’s a waitlist notification
I really hope this is not true. That's an insane amount of waiting.
Do you think they have admitted everyone that they wanted and dragging this out as part of WL movement (and some "wait and see" how the fallout from other schools impact them?!) Their philosophy is no news is good news... (or assume you are accepted until rejected....) Stay hopeful!
Doesn't that mean not many students are accepting their offers? Don't you only have 2 weeks to respond to an offer of admission?
Not necessarily! I am sure at this point applicants can hold multiple offers and especially may do so as they await financial aid packages.
At this point I would be happy to get a rejection email so I can confirm the people in admissions there are still alive.
I haven't gotten it either.
They could still be sending them out...hopes for you to get it soon! You could also call and ask for confirmation if you are worried.

I am vibing with you rn
