Did anyone's essays in the portal disappear? Mine didn't but apparently that was a thing 2 years ago.

Not mine. Did they establish a correlation? I remember seeing this too. I personally wouldn’t think too much of it.

Edit: just looked back at the 2019-2020 thread, what a hysteria about the essays disappearing! I think page 14-15 you can see it

Bruv,
I don't understand this stuff
You will eventually know by next week.
Knowing now or tomorrow doesn't make a big difference in the grand scheme of things.

Still, it's entertaining to me to watch

If it helps anyone I spoke to a current student involved in admissions and she gave no exact date. Valentine's dayish was the sentiment

Why y'all so pressed that some of us are excited about decisions coming out? If I want to be excited today, and be disappointed later because nothing happened, that's on me. I'll wear my clown makeup with PRIDE.

Guys, time will tell. I dont think us arguing about the time of release is worth the energy. We have already given our souls to this process, we don't need to exert more effort in our arguments

Duke hasn't even said the results are coming out today so I am not sure what's happening here lol. I mean it could come out today (but then it could come out any other day too). Just because it happened this time of the cycle last year doesn't mean a thing for this cycle... so peeps.. calm down..lol

(M1 stalking this thread for a friend) Lol these comments are sooooo unnecessary. Applicants' futures and plans depend on when, where, and if they get into medical school. It's completely normal to be anxious, allow people to use this space to express that

i don't usually post but i feel the need to say this.


You are a rather unlikable person with a visible superiority complex. Learn to tone it down because you can and WILL be humbled, and ur 1000+ II wont protect you from that.

You are not God. You are no one's Father. Stop speaking down on people.

edit: Just wanted to add that speculation is quite literally the bread and butter of SDN, if you don't like speculative posts then i personally don't know why you use the platform.

isn't it scary that these people get to be doctors... its so easy to be a b*tch to others when shielded by anonymity! BUT it is even easier to take a break and not make other people feel bad for no goddamn reason on anonymous online platforms. :)

A: 25 (T10: 2) gets me every single time, lmao. SDN is to help people not flex T10 A's, I'm pretty sure if everyone on SDN included that, bud would be humbled immediately. edit: at least dude is deleting his posts now lol

I see the point about being likeable and all. Still, how are you going to be a doctor if you can't even practice the simplest form of stoicism.
The point is that no amount of anxiety or excitement will change the timeline for decision release. It won't change anything and is actually counterproductive.

Just live your life and wait for the decision to come out when it comes out.

I get the joking enthusiasm and stuff when it's not serious, but when some people are actually freaking out it becomes something else.

Alright y’all, my point still stands, but I think the pile on session should probably end. No need to hurt feelings unnecessarily. Lessons learned, moving on, no?

On my interview day, Dr. Yee said February 11-14th. This is a life changing decision. It is absolutely normal to have anxiety about it. We all cope with these situations differently. Let's all be kind to each other and support each other through this.

My point was never about showing emotions or not.
It's simply about not letting your emotions getting the better of you. Especially when it's something you can't control.


Additionally, a doctor should actually show more emotional strength. How are you going to inspire confidence in your patients if they can sense that you're as stressed/overwhelmed as they are.

Again, I'm not against emotions. I'm in favor of emotions when they're productive or life affirming.

No one has heard back MD/PhD yet, right? It seems like those decisions normally come a day or two before regular MD.

I don’t know if they are honestly directly coordinated because each has their own admissions process? But I honestly don’t know. 🙃

That's true. It may just be a coincidence in the last few cycles that they came out first.
