Deferred :'(

 

[Golden Eagle 59]

Deferred until March, big sad

 

[medicinelover11100]

If we're deferred until March, whats the chances that we'll get accepted?

 

[luv2learn5432]

deferred 🙁 🙁

 

[tacoavocadocat]

Just got the acceptance email!!! Sitting at work trynna not to freak out. Wishing all those deferred nothing but A's come March

 

[ToBeMD2025]

I got the email saying that the committee couldn’t get to my app and that I’ll hear about my decision on 1/22. Anyone else in that same boat?

Interviewed Dec 8

 

[stm824]

+1, interviewed Dec 15

 

[deleted1055900]

Just got an acceptance email! Interviewed December 2nd. Wishing all of you the best!

 

[Itwastaken]

Deferred. And yet, I feel as if its possible deferrals are more likely this cycle given the circumstances. Holding out hope!

 

[Golden Eagle 59]

Does anyone think an LOI is useful if you’re deferred? It was this just holding off to reject

 

[luv2learn5432]

if a defer is a soft rejection/WL, i will be very sad

 

[spottedcory]

if a defer is a soft rejection/WL, i will be very sad

I roughly tallied what happened in Feb in last year's thread, and about half of deferred people got WL and accepted, so being deferred is definitely better than a WL/R, and that aligns with the roughly 50% post-II A rate for Feinberg

 

[deleted1062149]

Spent all day yesterday watching YouTube videos of Chicago... and got deferred today. I guess 2 more months of videos for me

 

[deleted1062149]

Is it just A or deferred today? Or did anyone get Rs?

 

[HanShotFirst_]

Accepted!!! Interviewed 11/18

 

[sophop]

A deferral is not (necessarily) a "soft reject." I don't know what's going on this year, but most of the folks I know here (including me) heard about their A's in March. Hang in there.

 

[justagirl213]

Got the II this morning!

 

[deleted1038508]

How long does NW typically take to get back to you post-II?

 

[HanShotFirst_]

How long does NW typically take to get back to you post-II?

It depends when you interviewed. If you interviewed Sept-Oct, they'll get back to you in November. If you interviewed Nov-Dec, they'll get back to you in January. All others is late Feb early March I believe

 

[cockadoodledothecowsaymoo]

is there a point in submitted an update this late?

 

[Mr.Blackdoc.5]

Nothing to lose

 

[business>premed]

What do you guys think the chances of being accepted are after being deferred?

 

[cinnamontea]

does anyone know if they are receptive to letters of intent?

 

[deleted1062149]

For anyone who did the diversity and inclusion calls, any guesses what the token of appreciation they're sending via mail is?

A NW mask, sticker, and hand sanitizer

 

[average_guy15]

Would anyone who has interviewed be willing to comment on their experience?

 

[deleted1062149]

Would anyone who has interviewed be willing to comment on their experience?

I think I have answered this in the thread in the past, but it was very conversational. The interviewers were really friendly and seemed to just want to get to know me a little better. The day was informational with a curriculum walkthrough, fin aid, Chicago, virtual campus tour, etc. They were very attentive and friendly. In the end, they emailed us a word cloud with the fun facts we shared during the icebreaker. Cute touch.

really chill! at the beginning they had all of us introduce ourselves + say a fun fact so make sure you have one lol

the interviewers were super friendly and there weren't any tricky questions or ones that I had no idea how to answer. conversational and v enjoyable

 

[Lifeblood_20]

II 30 minutes ago, OOS and complete late August! Scheduling for late January - early February.

 

[apples185]

What do you guys think the chances of being accepted are after being deferred?

Seconding this question! Is a deferral till March just going to be an eventual WL/R or do we actually have a decent chance of getting admitted?

Most People are deferred. They accept a very small percent of applications early.

 

[skyman89]

For anyone who interviewed, are the student interviewers any different from the MD interviewers?

 

[WindmillChaser92]

For anyone who interviewed, are the student interviewers any different from the MD interviewers?

Not really that different. The student doesn't know you other than what you disclose, and mine had some pre-selected questions he/she was required to ask me. Nothing surprising/unexpected.

 

[qwerty88]

does anyone know if they are receptive to letters of intent?

I can't say for sure, but I sent one early Jan and they acknowledged it by email in literally half an hour after I sent it haha

The message very brief, it just said "Thank you for your continued interest in Feinberg. Your communication has been added to your file for consideration," but it was nice to know that they at least opened my letter instead of ignoring it.
