hey y'all. I hope it's not against any rules to share information shared during the interview info sessions, but I heard from someone who interviewed yesterday that the earliest they could hear about acceptances is 11/19. That could mean that there is a round of acceptances next Friday and then 2 weeks later on the 19th, so maybe none went out yesterday.
 
havent had any communication over past week. not even waitlist reminder. find it strange. concerning????

Not concerning they are just preparing for acceptances, alternates, and rejections. Once they do that they will start communicating again I’m almost sure.

also just to clarify something, last year they did all the post-interview rejections and waitlist on one day in April. No one that interviewed got rejected prior to April 6th. I don't remember when pre-interview rejections were sent out, but if I remember correctly, it wasn't until all interview invitations had been sent out

Yeah but they did like a post II waitlist right? I heard they send an email every week just like pre II waitlist. So I think that’s what they are getting ready and why they haven’t communicated in a while.

They give you a "status update" email every time they do a round of acceptances saying that you're still being considered, but it doesn't mean anything since it's not a waitlist (bc the actual waitlist comes out early April) and everyone who interviewed will receive this update if they don't get an acceptance call.
 
It's a little frustrating honestly because based on my understanding of their scoring system (a 5 point scale or something), they should know who has no chance of acceptance after they are scored-- ie if someone has a score of 3.0/5 and UA has never have accepted anyone scoring below a 3.5/5, I personally think they should let those people with the lower score have their rejection before April so they can move on. Also If anyone has a better sense of how their scoring system works, please correct me because this is just how it was explained to me by someone else

have you received one of these emails or are you referring to past years’ threads? I never received a status update email after October 15th 😬

so my guess is that they are doing a round of acceptances this Friday, and then Nov. 19th (since they said they are doing a round of acceptances that day). If you don't get an acceptance this Friday, you should get one of those update emails. I interviewed last year and got one of those emails about every 2 weeks (always on fridays) when they did acceptance calls until I was eventually rejected in April.

Still on that hold list, just got the email. But I'm loving that we finally have a Thursday where I don't need to meme about the hold and can instead congratulate you guys 🙂
II just now!
II !!! anyone know how they feel about taking a couple prerequisites the semester before enrolling?
Congrats you both! What were your stats, complete dates, and IS/OOS?

OOS, stats in signature complete 10/6 URM
 
Quick question--Should our file say "under review" in the status tab after we interviewed, or does the "under review" mark only appear after the first round of acceptances goes out for our interview date? I received the email that my file was under review the Monday following my interview, but the most recent thing is on my status page is "interview completed". Not sure if I'm wording my question the right way but if anyone knows what I'm asking, please let me know!

Go to the welcome tab.
 
my welcome tab also has the interview as the most recent update 🙁
When did you interview? If it was pretty recent I definitely wouldn't worry about it. And honestly, I wouldn't worry about it in general. Mine just says file under review but of course, your file is also under review. By definition, everyone who is interviewed is under review unless they are already accepted.

I interviewed in October, so pretty recently, but the main source of my concern is that I could have sworn it said "under review" before and now it's missing. I guess I'm not too worried, but I just want to make sure it doesn't bump me out of their review each week by not having that designation in their system. I guess our portal could display information differently than what the admissions committee sees on their end though.

Sure that's fair. Just shoot an email to admissions. They are really nice and I'm sure they can calm your fears 🙂

Or who knows! Maybe you've already been accepted
 
if they don't do acceptances today, next Friday is fair game then too bc it means they aren't sticking to the 2-3 week rule lol

obviously just guessing, but I do think some probably went out today and some will go out on the 19th because the week after that is Thanksgiving and I'm sure that Friday is a day off
 
I don’t think there were any acceptances today. I heard when they send out acceptances they send out an email to those who have interviewed already.
they do! I'm so surprised they didn't do the calls/emails today though since it has been awhile since the last round. Also one thing I just remembered about Nov. 19th is that that date was given to people who interviewed on Oct 28th/29th, and that group was mostly MD-PhD applicants, so the timeline could be different. I wonder if Admissions would ever do calls next week and the following week, or if back-to-back weeks doesn't happen... Anyway, I think I'm overthinking it. Whatever happens happens I guess. Good luck everyone! Will probably see you back here next Friday though tbh, lol
 
You know you're at a low point in your life when one of the things you look forward to is the Thursday email from Tucson that you're still on the interview waitlist list :') .
 
Does anybody else have a red exclamation mark by their under review tab after interviewing?
 
Hey! first of all congrats! second, do you mind sharing what interview date they offered? I'm curious if they are booking into January now considering that the holidays take up the second half of the month

Thank you! The only date they offered was 12/10
 
with this going on a month without receiving the waitlist reminder from Tuscon, I was wondering if they send out pre-II Rs before spring, or keep you on the waitlist until then and reject everyone all at once?

They might be doing things differently this year, but I think they only send out rejections after all interview invitations are given out (so maybe late January?).
 
I haven't received a waitlist email for two weeks now... should I be concerned, is that essentially a R?
