So do they not meet tomorrow and then decide? Or are they already decided and just sent out tomorrow? I hope they saw my update letter!
 
Did some digging. Looks like if your interview fell before October 15, there's a good chance you'll hear tomorrow.

I checked last years thread and people received notices on 11/17 not 11/15?
 
Does anyone know how to verify if we filled out the video interview user agreement? Can't see it in the portal and interview soon. I even have a zoom link for the interview. Is there a chance I filled it out and it just disappeared from the portal in the past?

+1 - interview today and haven't seen any agreements in the portal or in an email

Very nervous for today, hoping for some good news!
 
I don't think we will get to know the decision today, guys. It looks like there are two sets of interviews AM/PM so there's no time for them to update us. Just my two cents.

Good point, but don't they send out decisions on Mondays in previous years? And don't they usually interview on Mondays as well? So they do both? I could be totally wrong, not sure.

I mean, wouldn't the emails just be automated? It's not that hard to send 3 different sets of emails..

Checked previous years. A lot of people said they got personalized emails. And also they'd need to meet before hand, then vote, then send out letters the same day, right? If they're doing interviews, they probs won't have time to meet and talk about it.
 
I'm thinking they most likely do not meet to discuss on the same day of the acceptance, regardless of whether or not the emails are automated. I mean, there are acceptances sent out between 8a -9a. If they are personalized, I'm guessing they are drafted and early and sent on the 15th. These are just my thoughts though.
 
Maybe between the two interview sessions today they'll hit the send button? There were lots of reports between 3-4pm in previous years though

Agreed. Also, it's not like they don't have anyone in the office right now. I'm sure it's a team and certain people handle different things. I was under the impression that they would draft up the email and do a schedule send-out. Hopefully we get some news by 4 pm 😀
 
Yeah, honestly. AM int ends at 12:30ish and PM starts at 4:45. Makes sense that they're looking at apps during those 4 hours. Or at least get to some of them. Excluding lunch break lol
 
Any guesses on what the cutoff interview date would be to hear back this month? I understand this all may be speculation, but I would greatly appreciate any insight.
 
Deferred. Does anyone know if people got off this list in previous years? Do we need to send them something that compels them (i.e Letter of Intent) to accept us? Or do people literally just get taken off the Deferred list each month? I looked around and a handful of people get Deferred, then eventually waitlisted, and ultimately rejected.

N=1 but I sent an update and LOI after I was deferred and subsequently WL last cycle, respectively... and we see how that turned out. I do remember seeing 1-2 people report acceptances off the deferral list in Dec/Jan, and then more in May when they create their WL. But like you said, most appeared to move to the WL and live there until the cycle ended.

I'm naturally cynical, but it was more the general skepticism I felt after my interview. I finished the interview wondering how much they could have actually learned about me given the inconsistencies I and others have mentioned in previous posts.
 
LOL, was put on hold by this school a while back but decided to take SJT on the last available date. Got a 5 (55th percentile) but scored 4th quartile on CASPer. Really questioning the internal validity of these exams....

Does anyone know if this is gonna hurt the (very little) chance I have getting off hold at this school?

I am not sure how these scores play into the admission process, but I scored 1st quartile on Casper, and 9 (100 percentile) on SJT....🙄. Not sure what to make of it either....
 
A this morning, OOS. Interviewed beginning Oct.

For the record I scored a 3 (20th percentile) on the SJT, 4th quartile (75-100) on Casper. So... I don't think they are that concerned with SJT scores at least.
 
Got the A this morning! OOS, URM, 505 MCAT, 3.6 GPA.
Also 2nd quartile CASPER, 3 on SJT
 
Does anyone know how to sign up for one of the virtual recruitment days (or have a link)? I have already had my interview, but can't seem to locate how to sign up for the virtual recruitment day in AMP or on the website. Thank you so much in advance!

I had a link to a Google form in my interview invite email. Maybe go back to that email and check?
 
Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Do any of you know where I can find the user video agreement for the interview? I received an email stating that I needed to submit this before the interview.

Just got a call about an II for the Abigail Geisinger Scholar's program! Does anyone know how selective their selection process is?

Is there a separate interview for that? I received an interview as well, but I'm not sure if it was for the Abigail Scholar program?
