On today's SS# email they mentioned that all interviews have been carried out and that adcoms and now meeting to deliberate on As, so I imagine that this cycle's interviews are done.

for some reason, I have March 6th written down as the decision date. Don't remember if this was said on interview day or what...
Hard to believe they're still deliberating on A's... I thought non-rolling schools like HMS just made a composite score after each interview and determine a threshold once all applicants had been scored. Could be wrong though.

I imagine it is still possible. The way I remember the process being explained during the interview, each interviewer ends up having a pod of students from which they nominate a select number for further consideration. Then from the total pool of students who were nominated by their respective interviewees they deliberate further, ultimately narrowing down to the final set of A's. Considering their final interviews were conducted a few weeks ago, it is possible this list is still moving, and I can't imagine it to be easy to get down to the last few borderline candidates either. This is my recollection, so someone please correct me if I am wrong!

Do previous years indicate if only applicants with certain decisions received this email? Or have people who got A/WL/R gotten this in past years?

Out of curiosity, is the REACH scholarship available for both HST or Pathways students? Or is it just Pathways?
Also, does anyone know if international students are eligible for that?

Has it historically always been released on a Friday?

yes! first Friday of March or last Friday of February. So I guess either Feb 26 or March 5, but I have a feeling it will be March 5 too
The ssn email said they plan to announce decisions early March

Can any M1 confirm the date for when decisions are expected to come out 🙂🙂🙂? Anxiety is getting high and the fact that there’s no exact date is not helping

Is it too late to send an update letter post II?
Ended up making an account just to be able to post this and get your opinions 🤣
Based on the previous forums the financial aid app opens the Monday after decisions... I checked the FA website and it says 2021-2022 FA app will open the first week of March. We may be hearing back on the 26th 🤭

yeah I think it's definitely possible to hear back on the 26th. Only thing is that we don't know the exact dates for when fin aid will be available. so it's hard to tell whether decisions are gonna come out on feb 26 or march 5
100% agree! There’s literally no way of knowing, all conspiracy theories
I only said that because if the decision comes out March 5th, the FA would open the next Monday and that you be the second week of march, you know? And for some reason the FA website says *first* week of March. But who knows.

yeahh its definitely feb 26 then.... because they wouldn't give only 10 days for financial aid.
Yep! Financial aid is always 15 days 🙂 it’s def this week

Mind linking the page? I tried looking but can't find it (this is more a testament to my bad Googling). I really want it to be this week so I can stop (or perhaps continue?) having literal HMS and Boston dreams.

so it's this Friday 10 AM folks.
why 10am? (also do you mean 10 est?) Thanks!

yes 10 AM EST sorry I shouldve said that. In the past, decisions have always started to come out at 10 and in waves. I think they start with MSTP As and then HST, and then Pathways As. After that WL/R. That's what I understood from last year's thread but I might be wrong.

I am ready to get that A
Good luck y'all~just wrote my bio thing that gets sent out to admits, and they said that decisions are "just around the corner." YOU ALL WILL BE GREAT, NO MATTER WHAT! I promise. I'll post a longer post in the next few weeks with some deets about the experience of my first year so far. Inbox always open to help people think through their decision!
For everybody—CONGRATS on everything that you have accomplished so far. You should be so incredibly proud of yourself.

This is probably very lame but I’m a huge fan of your appearances on multiple threads last year and it brings me immense joy to see you on this thread haha
"Just around the corner" further cements the idea this we might see decisions this Friday!!! Thanks for sharing your input.

The SSN email stated early March. Doesn't that mean it would more likely be March 1 next week?

It also said early March last year and decisions came out the last Friday of Feb. So I am pretty sure it's this Friday given the financial aid deadline.

Could someone email admissions office to confirm? Or would they also say early March?
