Did anyone else on the waitlist not see UMN listed on their CYMS? I emailed and haven’t gotten an answer yet.
 
about 40 minutes ago. Planning on sending a LOI. Hope it helps. Sounds like today and tomorrow are WL and R for Early Dec interviews. Next week would be acceptances for early Dec based on the pattern.
I thought you couldn't send them Letters of Intent? I'm also on the waitlist so I'm really curious because I would love to send one if I can.

does early dec also include dec 14 and dec 16 dates?
 
Does anyone know if they send our Rs and waitlists before Acceptances?
 
So for us early December interview people, is it good news that we haven't heard back these last two days?
 
With a large number of folks hearing back with WLs or Rs, no news is good news at this point. However, do keep in mind that, due to the nature of the review process, not everyone from the same interview dates will be on the same schedule.
what do you mean by this?
 
If we interviewed in late January and got that "you are interviewing for a waitlist spot" does this mean no acceptances will be given and just waitlists and Rs?

If they told you that you are interviewing for a waitlist spot, then yes this means you will either get either a waitlist or a rejection at first. But, this isn't necessarily bad, you could be accepted off of the waitlist at a later time!
 
what do you mean by this?
After you interview, three to four independent reviewers score your overall application. These reviewers are physicians, and the speed of review will vary between them. These reviews need to be completed before your app appears in the biweekly adcom meetings.

Any chance waitlisted people will begin hearing decisions soon?
Highly unlikely, unfortunately. Almost half of all interviewees haven’t heard an initial decision. I would expect to hear back in mid to late April at the earliest.
 
Do acceptance calls go out on a certain day? Or spread across the week? Do y’all think early December interviews will hear back today/Tom or Thursday/Friday

Seems like it's usually the second half of the week but then again not everyone reports on SDN.
 
Does UMN ever give out full rides? Has anyone received a full ride this year?

They give out a handful of full- and half-tuition merit scholarships every year. Scholarships are rolling, and I would guess that the first round has been distributed already this year, but they will continue to go out as people decline their UMN acceptances.

Ahhh makes sense. Do they include the full ride or half tuition offers on the acceptance letter/call or later on? Thanks for the response
