yeah!!! it's nice that they sent that email tbh. have they sent out any Rs?
Same. RIPI didn’t get this email
+2 maybe we're not in the queue even?Same. RIP
+3Same. RIP
I was also complete mid-July and just received the email.I think for those of us who didn't get this email, it means that our applications have already been reviewed. I was complete mid July. For those who did get this email, when were you complete?
Update for me too just got itUpdate: Just got the email and almost had a heart attack. Complete early august
Maybe they might interview more people. The interview tracker says they're over halfway to 550/650, which is the amount they'd interview in a normal (until January) interview cycle. But they said they were extending from January until "well into February" and they also said they wanted to interview as many people as possibleYeah same, I don't think the email really means anything
Well I didn't get the update from BU and I got rejected, so I am going to believe that this email is a good thingThis is like BU all over again
knock on wood but i aint hadda hold email from a school yet. is this the same kinda emails that schools send to people on hold?
You've also submitted super recently - a lot of schools send these sorts of emails out in waves by complete date. Don't worry too much yet.Dang, I never received the email - it's not even on my application portal under the Communications Status tab... Anyone else? I guess it's a soft rejection... Complete 10/26.
Thank you so much for the feedback! You make a fair point, and I hope you're right.You've also submitted super recently - a lot of schools send these sorts of emails out in waves by complete date. Don't worry too much yet.

I feel that's low-key a bit more concerning - if I have been reviewed already after being complete later in the cycle and not been offered an interview yet, maybe I was put in the rejection pile for when they release their first wave of decisions in DecemberThe email was also specifically addressed to people who hadn't been reviewed, so your app may have already been reviewed - I don't think it necessarily means a soft R!

Ugh, I hope you're right!Not necessarily! I received a II from a school just a few weeks after I submitted, the same thing may happen to you!
I didn't receive the email either. Note that I applied MSTP, so this might be why,Dang, I never received the email - it's not even on my application portal under the Communications Status tab... Anyone else? I guess it's a soft rejection... Complete 10/26.
while applications are up 25%, applicants are not up nearly that much (maybe 5%).
People are applying to more schools this year, so number of applications goes up even before considering increase in number of applicants.What do you mean by this?

Note that I'm not KnightDoc. I was answering your question about what he meant in his post. I have not seen any evidence cited for most of the increase in applications coming from an increase in the average of programs applied for. Still, I can see the logic in applying for more programs this year with uncertainty surrounding COVID, virtual interviews (and decreased time/cost for interviews), the economy taking a hit, and to increase chances of interviews/admittances given the increased number of applicants to each school.Evidence? I would guess this is true but I personally have not seen any corroborating data.
