As far as I can tell, only people who interviewed in Jan/Feb heard anything today so far, whether it was a deferral or acceptance? Anyone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong though.
The email stated " your application is still being considered for Fall 2021 and this is not a waitlist or deferment"
Just that one sentence. They responded pretty quickly too.

Hi all, long-time lurker. Seeing the discussion surrounding decision release today, I wanted to add that my friend was accepted to Mt. Sinai earlier today. She interviewed in mid-February. Wishing everyone the best with decisions here and elsewhere!

anyone on hold considering sending in a LOI? not sure if it is worth it or not to wait until the final decision since it seems like it could be any time until early may. would love any insights!

For Jan/Feb interviews only or for everyone who interviewed (including those who were put on hold in Jan)?
Anyone holding on to the specific wording of this "hold" email and hoping they just haven't gotten to our applications yet? 😅 They told us Jan/feb interviewees that we'd hear back in feb but maybe they just havent completed the full review? (i know i sound v desperate)
Based on how it was described during my interview at least, they have reviewed us completely, we just didn't make the cut for this acceptance date, not that our fate is sealed (def not a WL or even a soft R), we're just not in yet and will be considered for all future dates where acceptances go out. And dw you don't sound desperate at all, it is a lot of semantics

Yup, that's my understanding as well. Basically a standard rolling admission process.

Any change in status for those who got the email that they’re still under consideration in January or are we Toast?
None for me. Maybe we’ll hear in March or after April 30
Nope not yet

We should probably contact admissions...
Previous year they did with second wave of A’s, which didn’t seem to happen this year...

I remember in my mid-Feb interview, they said in late February we either would get acceptance or a hold. Then if we get the hold, we could then expect final decisions in March. But honestly who knows with this cycle

My bet is that it would be late March :/
I think March decisions came out in late March last year
Early February interview and got the hold email on the 26th. Wondering if I should send a letter of intent. Sinai is definitely my top choice and I would actually 100% go if I got in. However I already sent two updates, one regarding a new volunteer position at Sinai, the second regarding a publication that was accepted. Not sure if another letter would seem annoying?

I'm in the same boat- but at my interview it was implied that letters of interest/intent were preferred after you receive a decision. That being said, I would love to know what other people heard/remember from their interview day because it was never directly said to me, just implied

Like March 14 per AAMC guidelines or like end of the month type of feel?
I think 3/28 tbh
What are the aamc guidelines? is there a link tenks

I think they must decision everybody by a particular date, but that also includes 'defer'... which is kind of bs
Is there any merit in looking at the number of students currently in the Mount Sinai Class of 2025 group to give a sense of how many people they accepted so far? It has around 96 members so far.

It says "11+ people joined last week" so it seems like it's a real time measure, but then again not everyone who is accepted will join the facebook group.

Sorry for being neurotic 🙁 Sinai is one of my last real chances right now for this cycle

Yeah we have no idea how fast people join the group. There should be 90 students there, taking out the moderators. Their class size is around 145 according to (Facts & Figures | Icahn School of Medicine). Assuming 50% yield, they should probably accept around 290...

Actually there's an informative post from last year's thread,
"Congrats to those accepted. We just received the list of acceptances on our end. From what it looks like around 170 regular track seats were offered in this first wave. From what I remember from last year's data, around 300 seats were offered to regular track applicants and ultimately around 94 matriculated (rest of class matriculated through FlexMed for total of 140). So basically that means if you were deferred I am assuming you can still hold out hope for acceptances as there may be another 100 seats left to offer. The caliber of applicants interviewed are very high and as such many will definitely have multiple acceptances and a lot will choose to go elsewhere."
For reference it's on page 14 #661.
Assuming the FB page is approx the # of offers (90 for first and second wave this year vs. 170 last year for first wave), it seems that they might be more rolling this year than previously to be cautious with matriculation rate I'm guessing.

I wonder if these 96 include the flex med students

They haven't done interviews yet for FlexMed. I actually applied a few years ago, and I remember it was a later timeline because they do normal pathway first.

oooh sorry my bad! I forgot that they're sophomores
I also saw that last year during the second wave (feb) they accepted people previously deferred in january. This year they left us deferred folks in the dark during the second wave, so they must REALLY be cautious with matriculation yield this year, especially with covid messing everything up.
