Just curious, how do you know that? Did you speak with someone in admissions / when did you interview?
I looked at that google slides presentation that they shared after my interview and they changed the date on the second slide from March 1 to March 2

I have the same slides though I believe they sent us the slides from last year. They sent out the acceptances on March 2nd last year and also Dr. Digiovanni stepped down from her position last year and she wasn't mentioned on the interview date but her name and her picture are included in the presentation.
 
in my interview presentation slides (interviewed early feb) it said March 1st, which means they had to have changed the slide...just not sure if that means all decisions are tomorrow or just the ones who interviewed last week
 
DrPolStan is right. They changed the interview slides (in an adjustable google doc) that they shared after the interview to say "March 2nd". Decisions are NOT coming out today. I interviewed 12/16 for context. I just went back into my email and reopened the slides.
 
My portal said this under application status so I thought March 1 even though the date changed on the google slide. My interview was in early February.

The Admissions Committee has met to discuss your file. Your application is being placed on hold for possible acceptance at a later date. We anticipate making offers around October 16, December 16, February 1, and March 1. If any of these dates fall on a weekend the offers will be made on the following Monday. An alternate list will be formulated in mid-March and will become active at that time

Your profile will remain on hold until such time that you either receive an offer of admission or an invitation to be on the alternate list. Your application will no longer be under consideration if you do not receive an invitation to be on the alternate list.​

 
Nevermind i found the slides it says march 1st on mine!
 
Why wouldn’t they send a message to everyone? Perhaps they will send invites today and tomorrow?
I really hope so. I hate decision days because I have so much anxiety that I can barely do anything else all day. I was passed over on the Dec 16th and the Feb 1st date after my interview on Nov 4th. I really thought I did well so I'm bummed that I didn't get the tabs on the other two dates.

same. i’m such a ball of anxiety and it’s so hard to focus on anything. Really don’t want to have to continue that stress for another day😭
 
Is an email sent once a decision is made or do we need to keep refreshing the portal?

Same buddy 🙁
 
I lost my “Your interview is scheduled for...” status within the past hour
Mine was the same before the last announcement and it changed to on hold after a few minutes. Hope this will be an acceptance for you, but they are definitely posting things on your portal.
 
yeah
No change to mine

yes, my official transcripts, VCU information? And in state tuition eligibility popped up... is this what I think it might be???
yeah all of that just showed on mine
 
Omg I don’t want to jump the gun with the excitement on the off chance that it isn’t.. but if it is OMG!! Good luck everyone, and hope to see y’all in August. Will update once I get an email.

Fingers crossed for you!! When did you interview if you don't mind me asking?
 
Ok, so they are sending decisions today! Are portals updated gradually or all at once. In other words, if we don't have the tabs right now, are we chalked for the day?
 
The transcript/in state stuff is tabs. That’s what popped up on mine when I got accepted in December. Congrats to everyone!
 
Ouch so if we didn’t get it its a hold? Darn I taught I did really well 😂.
 
on your offer date, did people seem to get tabs updated gradually? or did everyone who got an offer get their tabs at the same time?
IIRC, it seemed that they came at the same time, but SDN is a small sample size so I can’t say for sure.
 
So are the odds of being placed on the waitlist high or low
Do we know if there were post-II rejections? I think if there interviewed and weren't rejected, then there's a good chance of being on the waitlist? in the same boat...

If you have the update on the portal about "placed on hold for possible acceptance" it says that a waitlist will be formed and released mid march (March 15 I believe). You will receive a status update if you are put on the waitlist or if you are accepted. If you don't receive that status update I believe that = rejection? But not sure.
