A this morning! Interviewed late September. So grateful!!
Probably an obvious question but does anyone know if the deposit and acknowledgement form are binding? That last line on the acknowledgement form is putting me off...

A!! this morning 😍 Interviewed in Sept. Congrats to everyone!!!
@NYapplicant61 it says "preliminary commitment", assuming you are capable of completing the education? but it's not final - so, definitely not binding! Remember we all need to use the "choose our school" tool on AMCAS in Spring 2022. The deposit is just to hold your seat so they know you are going to consider them (and they don't give your seat to sb else) when Spring comes around. Congrats!

Thank you for replying and congrats on the A!!
Accepted today as well 🙂
For other acceptees, I know it says we may not have a person number yet— has anyone gotten one? If so, did it auto-populate on the checkout page or did you find it somewhere else? Just not sure where to look for it when I get one.
UPDATE: So it doesn't auto-populate, but when you log into the slate portal (the link Dr. Marshall sent) it says it underneath where it says Hi [first name]! in big blue letters. Took about a day for it to show up.

LM 72, in state, ORM
I was going through last years thread and I found this interesting tidbit (that may or may not be true so take it with a pinch of salt) that @matlatos4 posted "To the best of my knowledge, how it works is someone is chosen to present your file and then the committee votes on you. Based on number of votes, 8-10 is acceptance, 6-7 is waitlist, and 1-5 is denied.
So I'm guessing at every meeting they discuss the waitlist again and try to admit the same amount of people per interview cohort and use the waitlist to supplement if enough people didn't get in outright."
Edit: I was also going through the 2020 thread and the first WL acceptance was 12/19 after being put on the WL 10/15. For 2021, the first A off WL was 12/17 but put on WL 12/1. For 2021, there may be some c-19 stuff going on with when they were put on WL (they interviewed in August) but it doesn't seem to have impacted when they were pulled off. I guess we'll have to wait until December to see some WL action.

Yes they do
Well it's a personal choice. If you definitely have anything to add to your app then it's it's update letter. You can certainly send a letter of interest/intent if you know you 100% want to attend and are waitlisted.
Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think you should let them know if you want!

I know those are supposed to come letter though. Some schools need a confirmation of accepting a place on the waitlist, so I wasnt sure if it was okay to email back just a more generic thing?
You mean the student one that’s over zoom? It was completely casual.

Anyone receive an interview invite? I feel like it’s been quite
Does anyone know if any pre-II Rs have been issued?
goodmorningworld

Would anyone be willing to call the med school and get info on how the cycle is going?? The wait is getting stressful
They're obviously not willing if they made a post kindly wondering if anyone else would be willing to instead.. no need to be mean

When you get an interview does your application status change on their website (The "Check your application status" tool)?

Nope, the application status stops updating once the application is complete.
wondering the same thing. I haven't heard anything since interviewing over a month ago

Has anyone gotten an II lately? It seems like it has been quite a while since anyone posted II and I am wondering if maybe they are done for the cycle? Or do they send them in batches?
I think they do it silently. I applied in the 2019-2020 cycle and got the R in late March. No communications from them since submitting in August. And it seems to be a repeat this time around.
