>Happy New Year from Rochester! A quick update to let you know review of applications is still ongoing and we haven't forgotten about you. We hope to complete review of applications by the end of January and once a final decision has been made regarding your application, you will receive an email from us.
So that was a lie.
So that was a lie.

Watch them drop the hammer tomorrow morning lol
The email said they were *hoping* to be done reviewing by end of Jan. But considering a previous poster called to inquire about their post interview decision and were told Roch had fallen a little behind, I doubt they’re fully finished at this point. Regardless, I think they have been really great about communicating this cycle, so I’m sure they will let us know a decision...whatever it may be. I don’t think they’ll be silent.

So anyone else who got their Masters program offering email taking it as a soft R or just me?
+1 hahahaha
curious if people who interviewed here found the SDN interview feedback page accurate/useful? seems like I should expect a lot of standalone pre-prepped questions like what are your attributes, name a weakness, problems in healthcare, time you saw something unethical, etc?
Also got the masters email, butttttttt just got the A!!! Interviewed early jan
Post II WL!

Accepted!!! I wasn’t even expecting the email omg I’m so happy
did you have to specify Rochester on Certiphi, or will it just automatically send to any school who has accepted you?
Anyone else interview early Jan and not hear anything back? I havent even gotten the masters program invitation :'(

I was notified by email and it was reflected on the portal.
Accepted!!! Received the email at 12:53 PM, interviewed mid-December
No lie I had crazy respect for them actually making an attempt to communicate throughout the cycle butttt now not so much
For what it's worth, the fine print said "You are receiving this message as a MCAT test taker who has expressed an interest in a career in medicine" so maybe you just opted out of promotional emails at some point in time and it's totally separate from admissions? Just speculating tho

Awaiting my post-ii decision, Rochester has been my only one thus far, and is my top choice. Although I can't relate to how you feel I imagine its pretty incredible and as much as I'd love to be in your shoes now I know how hard we've all worked to get here so a huge congratulations (!!!!) on the accomplishment. I hope nothing but the best for you and all of us that are going through this stressful journey

Recent as in today?
II this morning! Complete back in July! It's not over till it's over!
Scheduling question - Do I need to fill out the short essays before getting matched to interviewers for the 2 interviews? On my interview schedule after I confirmed a date, I only have the group activities of the day listed (the actual interviews aren't on my schedule).

Yes this morning!
Totally normal, fill out those essays at least 3 days before your interview. Your 2 interviews will pop up closer to the date.

I didn't have to specify anywhere. I believe it gets automatically sent! someone correct me if I'm wrong
You’re right. It’s automatic.
