I was scrolling through the reports on here from the past couple months, and it looks like Rs, WLs and As usually come out on the same day...although no As or Rs were reported this time sooooo
same...interviewed 10/22 and still nothing. i thought today would be the day but I guess not...
lol at this point i'm not even expecting anything until february. interviewed 11/3
during the virtual presentation they said it could take anywhere from 12-14 weeks (or 12-16? somewhere around there) :/
That’s just too much. 4 whole months of anxiety and torture
when was your virtual presentation n o no 🙁(
it was yesterday - i had a friend who interviewed early October and found out she was accepted last week - not sure if that helps any but they were saying things are much slower due to covid/being remote 🙁
Congrats on your Acceptance!! At least it is good to know it is not dead quiet haha!!
I didn’t send any updates, LOI’s, or thank you letters and received an A, so it’s not necessary even though it’s emphasized to send all of those things
Nope:/
do you mind sharing the whole message? I'm not sure what they mean by that either?
The way I interpreted that statement, is they look at when they made an admission decision (WL) for you vs when you sent a letter of interest. For example, if you get waitlisted in January, but you don't send a LOI until April, clearly your intent to go to their school isn't *THAT* high, and you were probably waiting to hear from other schools instead. But if you get WL in January, and send a LOI in January or early February, clearly you're a lot more invested or interested in going to their school?
I see what you're saying and that makes sense, but I feel as though it could also be looked at the opposite way. For example, if you get waitlisted in Jan and then send an LOI in April, it is as if you have gone over all your options and are still very interested in GT. Similarly, if you send it near the time that they are reviewing apps to pull off the WL, then they can more safely assume that you are still interested since the LOI was so recent (and therefore they can still protect their yield).
Yeah that is how I understood it as well. I think it makes sense too because ppl tend to hear back from more schools towards the end. So if you still send in a LOI in March/April that should show that despite everywhere else you got in, you still would go to GT
i think friday 1/22 based on this thread
They are playing games fr!! This is too much torture SMH
there were interviews the week of Jan 25th - dunno if they hold interviews weekly or if they skip a week in between?
MD/PhD candidates had their first-round interviews in January too
I hope so. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Interview date?
bump. I'm telling myself that being virtual allows more higher stat applicants to attend numerous interviews, but they can only pick one school. Do people think they interviewed more people than previous years? I looked on last years thread, and there were interviews going into February (but number of people at every interview might be less). also in another note how soon are people uploading a LOI after their WL
So I've interviewed at 3 schools, and I know that Georgetown is by far my #1, so I sent a LOI about a week after my WL (mid-Jan).
Sorry that happened to you during your interview 🙁 ... but glad you were accepted elsewhere. Good luck in med school!!
Lol, they play too much!! I honestly thought today was the day. Well, have a great weekend y'all!! ✌️
Right now? And congrats!!!
Yes!
I don't really know about the numbers but my guess is there is probably going to be a lot more WL movement this year than previous years . People are attending more interviews since it is virtual and most likely also holding numerous acceptances which they would have to drop by the end of April. So I say there is hope!
I would say it’s important to remember that all of us applying are pretty equally in the dark and don’t really know what’s going on anymore than anyone else does so all anyone can do is speculate. But I think people are right in that applicants were able to take more interviews, leading to more acceptances, eventually leading to more openings
Did they confirm that they were actually interviewing more people? I know a lot of schools received more apps but said that they are interviewing the same amount of ppl as previous years
Yes. They told us specifically at our interview day that they were interviewing more people
Was not expecting that 🙁
