I interviewed 2/2 and I'm still waiting to hear back
going on week 8 post-interview...When did you interview?
I got put on HPWL after 13 weeks, so that 4-6 is definitely just a ballpark lol
1/22
Speaking from 0 experience (I'm from the West Coast), I've been chatting with a current MS4 at SB, and I've heard that there are actually a decent number of bars and coffee shops around, especially because the med school is on the university campus (campuses often cause businesses to aggregate nearby). Outside of that, SB is really close to nice beaches and has a pretty remarkable reach into the outdoors (Central Pine Barrens wilderness isn't unreasonably far, and the whole area is very woody and quiet). More socially, since many med students live in houses, house parties are apparently common enough. The area definitely sounds and looks very suburban, though, which I've heard can be an adjustment for folks coming from urban environments. To feel the vibrancy of city life, I think the only way to do so is by making the trip to NYC. LOL I am again very much not a current student or familiar with SB, but I hope this can still help!
Interviewed 2/26 and haven't heard back. Looking back at this forum, it seems that there are still people from early February who have not heard back yet.
Nope , I just hit 6 weeks on Friday and I haven't heard anything yet as well
5 weeks for me too! Based on trends, it appears that SB is taking the full 8 weeks to get back to interviewees, and in many instances, that period can be up to 12 weeks (even for HPWL and A's), so keep the hope up! Given the current situation, I have all the faith that the AdCom is doing the best they can and that promising news is on the way
They're also required to let us know their preliminary decisions by April 30th, so we can rest a bit easier knowing that we will be hearing back in the next few weeks haha
2/12 interview ...
Congrats! Are you IS or OOS?
Thank you! IS
Fridays in April are accepted student tour days so decisions aren’t too likely.
I was rejected earlier this week. 🤷🏾♀️
Students have to narrow their acceptances down to 3 so if they're holding more than that, they have to withdraw those acceptances
I need to double-check but I believe they assigned each Friday this month as open dates for in-person second looks. They are also having a virtual second look this afternoon.
Awesome thanks. Anybody hear anything today?
