For those of you waiting for the final pool announcements (last year's were announced 1/29/20), I wish us all the best on this great swim.

Edit: And congratulations to those who were accepted on 1/19!

I saw no reactions to any acceptances during the final week of January from last year's thread if that helps.

Think they’ll just give us all As instead? No final pool, just As! A girl can dream....

 

[mkko09]

I won't complain if that happens 😉

 

[DilNyethescienceguy]

Sorry to hear this. Was this pre or post II?

No post-II R's until final pool decision day (ie judgement day) in March.

 

[DilNyethescienceguy]

I'll use one of my application updates to ask if we can all have one

 

[Kenken514]

Thanks. It’s appreciated.

 

[norse_premed]

Hey I'm working on an update letter and I know it expressly says this is not a space for a letter of intent but do people think it would be appropriate to say in a final sentence (after actual relevant updates) something along the lines of "thanks for your continued consideration, I still really want to go to your school"?

I mean I think I ended mine “thank you for your continued consideration”. I think submitting an update already shows you’re still interested.

I survived this R wave lol.

I don’t know why this would be out of bounds, just remember there’s a character limit for each update.

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Is it okay just to give a grade update and not the other type of update? I have nothing new to say except for that grade I got in this class I took this semester.

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

I survived this R wave lol.

Always a good feeling lol. Did you interview already?

 

[Nontraddddds]

Always a good feeling lol. Did you interview already?

No, that's why I was surprised haha. My time for a R is overdue haha

 

[ice cheems]

whoops sorry this is delayed but I got the pre-II R yesterday too, OOS no real ties just loved the school 😪 best of luck to those remaining!

 

[nkt16]

No, that's why I was surprised haha. My time for a R is overdue haha

are you IS as well? I was wondering if all the R's yesterday were OOS and the IS ones will come. I keep refreshing...

There is an area for academic updates where you can upload grades!

3.65gpa (3.5 science) and 510 MCAT

I filled my application update and grades last week so that certainly may have helped.

Did you use all three app updates? I am not sure if it looks bad to not use all of them or if I am being neurotic (which I most likely am)

 

[ThatSerb]

I survived this R wave lol.

same. but i see most people who got it were complete in august. i was complete in September, so I feel like its just a matter of time

 

[TheFenerbahceSK]

I only used one of them. I basically just listed all of my activities since completing the primary. There's a word limit, so there wasn't much descriptive space. I just put down the name of activity, contact, organization, and responsibilities. If I hadn't been accepted my plan would have been to use another update later in the week to explain what virtual shadowing is. Happy to answer any more questions.

No, Im OOS.

I am well prepared for the R because they are done with interviews but am just happy to live another day lol. Maybe my time is today haha
