Is it better to get a post II R or not get an II? 🤔
Depends on the school tbh. There are some schools I expect to get rejected from, and am surprised to even receive an II. Meanwhile there are other schools I expect to get into. So the emotional impact of an R really changes depending on expectations.
 
I also got the invite to the zoom tomorrow. Based on last year's threads it definitely sounds like a waitlist. Why would they gather only some of us on zoom to accept us? Or maybe it's to tell us that something happened and decisions won't go out tomorrow? Either way I'm feeling pretty bummed. This was my top choice and I thought my interview was great.

That is great to see. What the heck is the point of the zoom then. Do they send it out to all post-IIs at different times throughout the year?

pretty sure many people who were accepted were also invited to a zoom meeting.

Yeah during their second decision wave last year a bunch of people with Zoom invites were accepted. I don't think there's any definitive way to read the tea leaves for this email/no email stuff.
 
*Looks like* the zoom invite went to WL'd applicants the FIRST time decisions came out, and then after that the zoom invites only went to A'd applicants... could've missed a few data points but nonetheless congrats to everyone who gets accepted tomorrow... send prayers/good vibes for the rest of us please :')

I agree, I just finished going through everything myself. There were very few data points on the first round, but I'm guessing that the one person who mentioned that everyone who went to the zoom meeting got waitlisted was a troll. There are a lot more data points on the second round and pretty much everyone who posted that they didn't get an email was waitlisted and everyone who did get the email was accepted.

I believe the zoom meeting was a formal congratulations on getting accepted and those who attended were told not to disclose what happened during the meeting. This is only my speculation though so take it with a grain of salt. I was one of the people who didn't get an email so I guess I'll find out tomorrow!

Yes I think that logically speaking it would be a bit strange to invite everybody to a zoom to say they’re waitlisted. This makes much more sense
 
for those who did receive an email today, when did you interview/did they tell you that you would hear back oct 15? i vaguely remember being told that i'd hear back in late oct
 
Yea as someone without an email, I can't possibly see how they will do anything but accept you tomorrow...
Yea, this would be the strangest waitlist or rejection announcement otherwise.
Then again, some schools do strange.
On decisions day at temple, I received an email saying "CONGRAGULATIONS, you have been placed on the waitlist"

Also got alternate. Who knows what goes into these decisions. My faculty interview went well, but my student interviewer didn't seem to care about the conversation. All part of the process so keep your heads up.
 
Did anyone get rejected? Looking back at past threads, it seems that applicants either get placed on an alt list or get accepted. I didn't really see anyone get flat out rejected post-interview.
 
+1 for waitlist with no Zoom invite. Hopefully someone who went into a Zoom meeting can update on what that was like. I wonder if Zoom invitees are those high up on the waitlist as suggested in previous comments/threads? Disheartening if so. I can't imagine another factor they would use to differentiate between waitlisted students who do and don't get a zoom invite...
They say they don’t rank the waitlist, so idk what the zoom meeting is supposed to be for
 
Was anticipating the alt list email after seeing the discussion on here yesterday, but man it still hurt 🙁
