when does school start?

 

[DigNewton]

when does school start?

Beginning of August, I believe. And there may be orientation-type stuff a little earlier.

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Anyone planning on withdrawing their A here? Want to see if WL movement is going to be good for this school.

I will be withdrawing this week

For those using the FB page size as a gauge of acceptances, I just want to say that I requested to join almost a week ago and still haven't been let in. There might be significant lag between acceptances being offered and people joining the group.

Yeah, it took 2-3 weeks for me to be accepted after I requested to join. It seems like they are accepting requests in batches every few weeks.

But also, the FB page isn’t an accurate gauge of acceptances bc there are 70+ current students in the group!

 

[DigNewton]

There are also quite a few people in the facebook group who have multiple acceptances and haven't made a decision yet. So don't give up hope based on the # of group members. Hoping you all get the A you want!

Anyone know if the WL is ranked/unranked? I still don't entirely understand how unranked lists work

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it is ranked? Otherwise we would know where we stand in the WL.

Yeah, it's unranked with periodic re-reviews of everyone as seats open up.

Do you know if WL movement is pretty good here?

Threads from previous years have said it's pretty decent but who knows what'll happen with this cycle. Fingers crossed!

Not gonna lie, i'm a ball of freaking stress on this waitlist:/ has NOT been good for my anxiety lol.

 

[CalBoy]

this school accepts no updates at any point in the cycle, correct?

Oof first post-II R last night, interviewed 3/12. I didn’t expect much though- good luck everyone else!

Sorry about the R. Did you feel bad about the MMI itself or your stats ?

combination of stats and weak connections to California as a whole (I know people without NorCal ties get accepted and such, but my ties to the whole state are weak- I’m a CA applicant by technicality)

Okay thanks so much for your transparency and goodluck with the rest of the cycle !

I felt like most of my interview went well, except for maybe about 2 of the MMI stations, where I felt that they did not vibe with me much. Maybe as a result of that, I was placed on the WL. I really hope I can get off of this WL because I'd love to go here.

Hello! Does anyone know if the presentations during the virtual second look day will be recorded? If not, do you think its worth it to ask for time off for this? Thanks!

 

[bluecar06]

Any March interview people waiting for a decision or are we fully onto April?

I think most (if not all) March interviews either got As or WL'd already. Haven't heard of any post-II Rs from March yet.

You'll likely hear something tomorrow!

Really hoping we do today.

Got a post II rejection. Strongly suspecting that my interview date played a big factor. I got the invite back in December, and picked the earliest date available, which was 03/22. However, I noticed that earlier dates (e.g. in early February) kept sporadically popping up as people were cancelling interviews. Wanted to advise everyone applying 2021-2022 to be more aggressive with trying to select earlier interview dates.

So sorry to hear 😔 hope you're coping well and you hear some good news soon.

I know it's not a good indicator, but can anyone say how many people are on the Facebook page now?

 

[mulberryapricot]

There are 239 members now but at least 70 are supposed to be current students!

Thanks! So the class is pretty much full then? That's 169 students for the incoming class.

Possibly, but from what I am hearing and seeing it seems like a good chunk of the admitted students are still unsure whether they will be attending or not

Thank you for giving me hope in these dark dark times lol

Also that 70 number was first mentioned a month ago, so it could be somewhere from 80-85+ now. And then combine that with students who are unsure if they'll be attending. Stay strong friends!

I interviewed on 4/5 too! Super anxious. I thought I heard that there is some event on the 26th of April for accepted students during our interview orientation. Does that mean we should hear in the next couple days?
