No one should have told me that they MIGHT be releasing acceptances today. I'm gonna be shaking the whole damn day and probably not hear a thing 😢

I thought they said earliest was November with most in January, but I’ve been wrong before.

They said at the first interview day they release a very very small number of acceptances on oct 15th,

Looks like the November release was for last year (affected by COVID) and all other years it's been Oct 15 for a small number of acceptances. How do I know this? Not me obsessively going back through all the prior SDN threads at work, nope...

Every school (unless explicitly non-rolling like Yale) has a small amount of superstar candidates who they’ll accept on the first day. For others they will wait and see the other interviewers before committing.

Med school applicants are like European call options. Inviting them for an interview is akin to purchasing the option. Accepting is akin to exercising the option. Rejecting is akin to letting the option expire out of the money.

I have no frickin idea what a European call option is, but thank you my dude. Idk y'all, if no one gets any calls in the next hour or two my calculations may be incorrect.

Looks like the As are fake news

I perpetuated fake news I am so sorry

same dude 🙁

If they’re only sending them out to a few people, I would say pretty decent chance. Almost none of my premed friends from UG knew what SDN even was. If it’s a wave, then somebody would be on sdn

 

[Dogruffle01]

What are the chances that people who got accepted are not on SDN?

56%

Proabably high. NYU apparently accepted people but 0 A's on the thread so far. Also UChicago is very mission-driven and I'd assume their superstar candidates are those with intense focus in the Chicagoland or Hyde Park-esque area, i.e. care a lot about community and to be frank 99% of people here are just neurotic high stat robots with good research lolz

 

[redsky2000]

Well..seems like Pritzker most likely isn't getting back to people today. Based on other threads I think people would of been quick to post. Maybe Monday!

 

[pears&peaches]

For the love of god if someone hears back or hears that someone else heard back PLEASE post to this thread

Thank you for your service.

 

[Dogruffle01]

I might be hallucinating - but....

On the "Post-Interview Timeline" of the Pritzker Interview website, I could have sworn it used to say "acceptance notification will begin October 15 2021" but now it just says "October 2021"

Does anyone else remember seeing this or am I creating fake memories?

Mandela Effect lulz... I wouldn't trip yall, I don't think they've sent it out yet

 

[cs_doc]

Believe we should likely hear some news on Wednesday because that's when admissions committee is meeting

I know they met, but not sure if it was for extending admissions.

Don't count your chickens yet - it could be any number of things 🙂 maybe they'll see something in your app that they didn't in mine. Manifesting for u to make it through the R wave unscathed 🙏

Thanks, mate! Here's hoping against hope

[Lonely-Repeat]

Anyone who's interviewed already - I had to miss the student social because of a family emergency. Does anyone know if the student social was a big deal/came up in the interviews?

Nah it was super low stress and very casual. Don't think it was brought up at all during the interview day as far as I can remember.

 

[deleted965595]

Any new IIs here at all? All these Rs but no IIs being reported! I was complete end of August. Did nobody with August complete date get an II yet??

I think it's pretty clear that at this point in the game we were put on some internal hold. Probably won't hear back for a while

 

[deleted1106933]

Hit with the fat R last night, but can't say I'm surprised. OOS, ORM. All relevant stats below. Good luck to everyone still being considered!

[pears&peaches]

Early interview crew... are we just never going to hear back?

 

[Lonely-Repeat]

Early interview crew... are we just never going to hear back?

In last year's thread it looks like a chunk of people heard back late November.

 

[FruitSauce]

Rejected pre-II, 511 MCAT, 3.6 cGPA, OOS, complete beginning of September. Good luck everyone!

 

[serotonin1]

Pritzker please… give us post-II news

 

[redsky2000]

At this point, I feel like they've already given out some As 🙁
I'm surprised we haven't heard anything back though

 

[keeppushing99]

Got the R earlier today, as I expected. Good luck to everyone else! Complete 9/1
