pile waiting to be addressed pretty much. From my understanding it basically means that the next time the committee meets, they will decide on an action to give you come the next decision time (15th-ish of every month?)
I interviewed on 1/12 and my application was under consideration 1/18 and I was hoping to hear something yesterday. I haven't received any emails and no updates were made on my portal... I reached out to the Admission's office and they said:
Congratulations!! Thank you for the update!
Would you also be open to sharing your stats?
I know this is a joke but at one of my interviews, the dean told us that they can actually see how frequently applicants check the portal so I agree haha. Still waiting since the September 1st interview date
Of course! Thank you 🙂 I have a 517 MCAT and a 3.96
Congrats ! Are you based in Central Indiana?
Congrats! Do you mind sharing stats, interview date and what state? Also, does your portal look any different? Sorry to bombard you with questions lol
when was your interview??
1/12!
I am based in South-Central Indiana around the Bloomington area!
Congratulations!!!
thanks!! 🙂
Well, seeing as how today was a Sunday and tomorrow is a holiday, we may still get something this coming Tuesday. Just based on this thread, I saw that people were getting acceptances all the way up until the 21st last month (which was a Friday). Call it wishful/over thinking, but that may be why it's been so quiet this month. That or the people who have been accepted just aren't posting as much (which I know isn't the most accurate measure, but usually more people post their acceptances around now according to this cycle).
Congrats my man! All that hard work payed off. You're lucky to have heard something this month, I too interviewed on 1/12. Hope the rest of us get something soon 🙏
Yeah last month was also tricky because the 15th was a saturday and the following monday was a holiday so they didnt even meet until tuesday 1/18. The only decent indicator of when this month's decisions are over is when people start getting emails/portal changes, as that is far more reliable than the USPS.
That's a really good point about adcoms most likely having to meet after the 15th of last month since it fell on a weekend and resulting in a possible delay of decisions. Perhaps January wasn't the best example since there are previous months having the 15th fall on a weekday yet still resulting in some not getting their acceptance until around the 21st that month via letter (or even later than that if notified via email/portal). However as you pointed out, USPS may not be the most reliable measure to gauge when to expect something (due to mail depending on not only the day but possibly on location and other factors as well).
Do you mind me asking if you had all your materials turned in prior to the interview and if you directly notified Admissions when everything was submitted? I interviewed the same day but wasn't under consideration until 2/14. All my materials (minus interview notes) showed up as received in the portal months ago, so I didn't think it was necessary to notify them. Now I'm worried that I was supposed to touch base with them and have wound up delaying my review... really hope I'm just overthinking this.
I don't think anybody knows. Today is a holiday and there is no USPS. Also, informed delivery hasn't meant much for this acceptance packet if I'm not mistaken. The adcom might not even be working today, so I don't even know if we can expect an email. This month has been very inconsistent with previous months.
You're overthinking it. You don't need to notify them when everything is turned in - they'll know without you doing so. The "under consideration" review date likely depends on when your interviewer turns in their notes and where you are in the lineup.
Dang so there is mail delivery today? I hope yall's portals get updated soon so I can go back to being depressed until the middle of march lol
That's interesting, USPS should be closed today as Reapp97 said. I was gonna say maybe it was sitting in your guy's mailbox/apartment main area for a bit, but then again you live in the same location and didn't get anything. Big congrats to them, but also sorry to hear you didn't get anything despite interviewing earlier. The whole way IU has been handling this is bonkers.
Congrats again fam. Atleast they gave you those updates on top of the mail acceptance instead of just one or the other like others have gotten. Hoping our acceptances are still waiting to be delivered once the mail comes in tomorrow, but starting to have doubts.
Thank you I really appreciate!
I also interviewed 1/12. Please As for us both 🥲🥲🥲
same!!
Maybe we will hear back this week. Fingers crossed 🥲🥲
I called the office now.. they said they sent the emails today… see you next month folks🙁
it does not show on informed delivery
Wow gg bois. Gonna go dig a hole a sit there now bye 🙁
Gg. See you all again next month haha (😭)
mine showed up
yeah, mine also showed up.
Someone I know that got accepted last cycle told me a whole new acceptance tab should pop up once you get in. It shouldn't be different for this cycle but if anyone know feel free to update us.
