[ElatedMango]

Are there post-II Rs going out today too?

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

I wonder if all 1/27 interviewees were placed on the alternate list today

I interviewed on 1/27 and haven't heard anything ... I'm worried but hoping for the best

Did anyone that interviewed 1/15 get anything? I haven’t seen anything from that date

I interviewed on 1/13 and complete radio silence.
Idk if I should be happy or sad, what does this mean?

They apparently don’t send rejection letters so it might mean that they haven’t finished 1/13 calls or that you got rejected

I hope they just haven’t gotten to us yet, there are so many people that haven’t heard anything at all, I find it hard to believe we were all rejected.

Trueee I checked the stats and there’s like a 50% chance of getting in post interview so I have hope still!!
Edit: it also depends how full the class is as of right now, which I don’t know

50% even if we were placed on the alternate list?

 

[RadsNola]

50% even if we were placed on the alternate list?

No, 50% (ish) were accepted post interview. The rest were waitlisted or rejected according to that massive spreadsheet that exists for 2019-2020

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

I sincerely thought this interview went so well... Does anyone have any insight on if a lot of people are pulled from the alternate list for an acceptance?

 

[triangularisficus]

Did anyone that interviewed 1/15 get anything? I haven’t seen anything from that date

i interviewed on 1/15 and haven't heard back yet...

For those of us that interviewed a month ago I wouldn’t worry, it just isn’t plausible that we all got rejected. I think they are just taking extra time before determining decisions.

I'd agree with this. Because I interviewed 1/27 and they were quick to put me on the alternate list. No news is good news.

Same here.... interviewed 1/13

does anyone know how much waitlist movement there usually is?

 

[pineapple21]

from what i've seen on past year's threads, it seems like keck tends to accept the majority of its class by december and then waitlists almost all january interviewees

it also seems like there's usually some waitlist movement early may and then it slows down significantly but this year could be different?
