I wish!! Also interviewed 10/23 and have been furiously checking my emails.. I think it will likely be next week as well. Hoping the best for us both!

 

[rdiofik]

Any news on decisions?

Any news on decisions?

Historically they’ve tended to release on tuesdays, so maybe tomorrow?

 

[Countrychkn]

I interviewed on 11/13. They might be going alphabetically or something!

Maybe! My last name is late in the alphabet so i'll hope for that lol

 

[helpmemed]

Anyone who interviewed 11/30 hear back yet?

 

[al32341]

Accepted interviewed on 10/23! I was told they are making all the calls today

 

[Word42]

Interviewed 11/13 and got the A call an hour ago!

 

[dr.donkey]

Got the A! Can’t believe it- first one!

 

[meep98]

Do u think they’re done with the calls for the day? Interviewed 10/23 and am losing hope lol

10/23 and also heard nothing.. I thought this was my best interview and absolutely loved the program but now I’m feeling bummed haha

 

[dr.donkey]

For those who have been accepted- do you guys see anything in your portals yet? I keep feeling like this is a dream and I want to make sure it wasn't a mistake lol.
And for those who haven't heard yet- hang in there, sending good vibes and thoughts your way <3

 

[noodlechicken1]

10/23 and also heard nothing.. I thought this was my best interview and absolutely loved the program but now I’m feeling bummed haha

Same boat as you both, interviewed 11/13. Hoping they are still calling but could still get an email tomorrow like some earlier in the thread.

 

[KellyS777]

Depressed, interviewed in Oct, really hoped for a call so I could have a happy xmas. Sad... awaiting the rejection/active list email tomorrow.

 

[tortelloni_tortelloni]

Anyone who interviewed 11/30 hear back yet?

I think vtc reviews in batches of two—so this round was 10/23 and 11/13. You’ll probably hear back 2-3 weeks after their next interview day (my guess is sometime in January, but I’m not sure)

 

[Hypothermia]

This school has a very low post II A rate so don’t get your hopes up people

Wow I bet you’re fun at parties

 

[neuroticnontrad]

Got the acceptance call at 11:00am yesterday! Interviewed 11/13

 

[Odd-Mango1581]

super thankful to have received an ii here! Can anyone share how the energy of their traditional interview felt (research focused, or more conversational regarding your application)? & how you prepared for MMI? thanks 🙂

They were very nice and conversational! It's a research oriented school but the interview is short so not a lot of time for details about any of your activities.

For the MMI portion I looked up example MMI questions online and tried to come up with an answer for each one that I could pitch in a few minutes. I tried to only give myself a couple minutes to come up with an answer that gave my perspective and completely answered the prompt. Practicing doing those things is definitely more important than memorizing any specific mmi answers. It definitely doesn't hurt to have some anecdotes in mind in case there are questions about common things like your strengths/weakness etc though.

I know its cliche but just try to relax and be yourself! Good luck!!

Just got the active status pool email! RIP lol

 

[kitkat01v]

Just got the active status pool email! RIP lol

Does everyone get an active status pool if you don’t get in during this round of acceptances? I got the same email so I’m wondering

 

[noodlechicken1]

Got active status also, anyone have any idea of movement, if any? If not, I am willing to give admissions a call 🙂

 

[Square Face]

Just got the active status pool email! RIP lol

+1! About an hour ago

 

[KellyS777]

In the previous sdn thread, I saw people get rejected post interview. For the active list, it seems that the "April round of acceptances" is just the final filter on who makes the waitlist or gets rejected. I'll just treat this as a rejection and move on.

 

[mbaoloc]

Also just got the active status pool email, does this basically mean a wait list? I'm curious if anyone's asked admissions?

 

[rdiofik]

My understanding is that active status = reviewed with next decisions and then you get an R or put on a shorter waitlist. If you got an active status email I'm sure they'd be willing to answer any questions about it

Complete mid-July and still no news

 

[zjmed]

I am interviewing Jan 8 and still have not received any information regarding my interview. When did people who previously interviewed receive info regarding the interview day schedule? Do you know who your interviewers (non-MMI) are pre-interview?

I received information about my interview on Monday afternoon around 3p EST- so if you don't hear back by end of Tuesday I'd definitely reach out!

I was not informed who my non-MMI interviewer would be. It was a complete surprise for me all the way until the moment we were scheduled to meet over Zoom.

 

[jack326]
