So…it looks like, barring a lot of exceptions, IIs go out on Wednesdays and Fridays. So I'm just going to ignore those exceptions and say tomorrow is logically the day another wave of IIs will come out. :|

I looked at the portal and saw the option to upload an In the Area Request. Any idea on how much weight these carry?

How would that even work now with all the interviews being virtual?

Icahn is 10 mins away from where I live so id like to know about this as well
It's a relic from when IIs were in person. Some schools, like Mt. Sinai, were open to accommodating you if you were coming in from out of town for another II, and would be receptive to either moving your II so you wouldn't have to make separate trips, or would even move up your review to maybe give you an II in time to be able to coordinate with the other school.

It means nothing in a world of virtual IIs, and is probably just there for when IIs go back to in person. In any case, it never meant anything for locals, since you are literally always ITA. :)

From my interview day I think I recall them saying they're releasing post-II decisions in January. Can someone confirm?
 
Hey guys, can anyone give me a sense of the vibe with regards to Mt. Sinai interviews? People that I know from Mt. Sinai generally say that the school is uptight AF and that interviews can be really stressful. Can anyone confirm or deny?

For me one was super chill, like actually one of the nicest faculty interviews u can imagine, and the second seemed like he was trying to grill me and stress me out so my guess is it can really go any way

My interviews were super chill / conversational! I really think it depends on what interviewer you get

All these emails from the admissions office talking about how awesome their program is make me wish it could be January already so I can find out if they want me or not

Hello. Has anyone sent letters of interest yet? I'm thinking about sending one. Do they accept interest letters?

I sent a hefty update/letter of interest 1 week ago, nothing yet (uploaded on portal). Not sure if I should also notify over email

For what its worth, I sent an update pre-II and got an interview invite ~4 weeks later. Not sure if it had any effect but worth a shot!

Thanks!! Did you send an email along with the upload or no? I'm leaning toward not doing so

Also uploaded an update through portal only and got an II after! No email, no LOI, just a document with significant updates via portal
 
I like to vicariously live through @morningrnight. They are also so nice in all their posts, been a big fan since the start of this cycle. They definitely deserve it.
Came to talk about how I feel this school doesn’t actually exist and we are collectively hallucinating but saw we are stanning @Morningnight

Tbh I love them and I don’t know them in real life lol.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend though.
