A!!! Interviewed in Feb so totally wasn’t expecting this!
on to next Friday! Dr. Kundu said that today would be the earliest anyone would hear anything, and they’ll continue sending decisions through March.
Yes I interviewed 10/23, was deferred, and was accepted today

You can stay on all WLs, everywhere, until the CTE deadline at the school where you hold the A. This date varies at each school. Make sure you know what it is, since blowing it could leave you with no As. Accepting an offer by 4/30 will not usually involve selecting CTE, but it could, again, depending on the school.
Accepted! Interviewed late January. Good luck to everyone else.
Deferred until March, interviewed near the end of Jan.

is deferred different from being waitlisted?
I don’t know what WL email looks like but mine says “the committee will make a final decision on your application at the end of application season in March”
Yes deferral at this point means you will be decided upon at the final decision date (likely next week or the next 2 weeks).
On that note: YEASSSSSSSS I GOT THE A!!!!!!
I was worried my interviews would end up as WLs after getting waitlisted by Pritzker this morning! BEYOND RELIEVED
Best of luck to all who are still waiting!!!!! Having been in shambles before today, I am hoping so hard for all of you, and I truly believe that if you got an interview at this school you deserve/hopefully will get an A this cycle!

Yes...I believe you can stay on waitlists even after "commit to enroll" date, but you have to decline other acceptances.

why do they hold off on some decisions?
WL, interviewed in nov, really upset 🙁
right there with u friend
Yeah, trying to figure this out as well. I feel like there is an underlying reason. Perhaps we are all borderline and they want to use the next couple weeks to make sure they don't over accept?
I had a mid author pub accepted and won a big school award, is an update worth it at this point? I’ve sent an LOI already and am just waiting on a decision at this point.
Yes!!! Do it ASAP! Like this weekend!
It’s an acknowledgment

WL 🙁 was a depressing drive home
Does anyone know how deferral works at this point? I’m feeling like I’m basically waiting for a WL or R if I got deferred this late 😕
Same thing happened last year. It looks like a few got A's but most got WL.
FSM seems keen to see these so I certainly would, FWIW
