From the UARK premed site:
"This varies by school. UAMS informs a few (20-25) early applicants in December, and an even smaller number in January. Most hear in late February. Those on the alternate list could find out as late as July."
They most likely interviewed in October, as the odds of them having their file "completed" would be much higher.

Optimism diminishes...

90% of us will hear back at the end of February. Remain hopeful, my friend.

I am hoping to hear this weekend. I interviewed in the second wave. The waiting game is killing me
If you log into GUS, there's an 'accept admission' option. Maybe you can check there and see if there's an update for you.

Unfortunately i do not believe that the ‘accept admissions‘ tab updates until later in the cycle. I wish it was that simple. Thank you for the idea though!!

Oh gosh I thought that email from admissions today was a decision. It was just them saying thank you for interviewing and if I have any further questions. The anxiety haha

Is this automated, i.e. do they send this to everyone who interviews?
Just got that too. None of the other places I interviewed thanked me, lol.
Are you IS or OOS?

Yup.
What was it about?
Letting everyone know to make sure their addresses and emails in AMCAS are correct because they're about to send out acceptances and rejections in roughly 2 weeks
I haven’t received it yet. So does that mean we also receive the news through email?
I think as long as they have the correct mailing address it doesn't matter. All of their important correspondence is delivered via USPS.

Since they say results will be known by the 28th, I suspect they might mail them out later this week, maybe Wednesday or Thursday?

I didn't receive the email either.
It'll be interesting to see if there's any correlation between this and acceptance/rejection. That would be an odd sort of slip-up, though.

OOS
Based on this response, I’m kinda theorizing that IS applicants and OOS applicants potentially receive different sets of emails (as in, maybe two different people are responsible for IS and OOS communication), not counting super important ones like interview invites or acceptances/rejections. From previous messages, it looks like OOS applicants received a thank you email post-interview, while IS applicants didn’t. Similarly, IS applicants received a “please check your info” email, while OOS applicants didn’t. I don’t know if anyone can contradict what I’m saying, but so far that’s what I’m seeing.

I am OOS and I received that email about decisions being mailed out within the last weeks of Feb
I’m gonna assume you meant last weeks of Jan here. But yeah all right, then I’m not sure what’s up 😂

I got the email on Feb 13th about the admissions committee meeting within the last two weeks of Feb to mail out decisions, and I am OOS.
I’m pretty calm because I have a 0.001% chance of getting in. I used their interview as practice for my subsequent interviews, lol.

If we do get accepted, will we have to respond via mail or will there be an online option? Currently an IS applicant going to school OOS and won't be home when letters are mailed out.

I would assume the letters are just for notification purposes and then the acceptance will be done through GUS but I don't know for sure. I just know there's an "accept admission" page on GUS so i'm going off of that lol

Do you think we’ll get an email as well in addition to physical mail?
It doesn't seem like anyone last year reported getting an email at/around the same time as the letters, but who knows?
Your admission packet for both accepted and waitlisted applicants will contain a packet of papers, thicker for accepted than waitlisted. The rejection letters will come in standard envelopes. You might be able to tell from USPS informed delivery. This was the longest week of my life. Good luck!!
Is that Facebook post from today? I don't see it now.
