If we get waitlisted, do we have to wait till April/May for them to pull of the waitlist or will they pull off the waitlist during the third wave?

PS: No decision yet, but just curious about the process.

Congrats @beansncheese and @PRorER! What were the times of the acceptance emails for you two (plus anyone else that may post about an A today). Trying to see if they plan to roll it out today or if there was just one wave.

I interviewed 12/1 and didn't receive any decision yesterday. However, I just received an email with the subject 'Interim Dean Theodore DeWeese Congratulates You on Your Acceptance to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine' with a generic JHU acceptance email. Was this the same email that other accepted students got? Or did you receive a personalized email saying "Dear XYZ, you have been accepted..."?

Like others said, I received both but I got the personalized one yesterday around noon and then the generic one you are describing this morning. I would definitely reach out if the personalized one isn’t in your spam box!

how soon after an interview do you think it would be appropriate to send an update?

I feel like it depends for school, but usually schools will review applicants post II within two weeks of the interview being done and place them on the list, so within two weeks best bet in general. Thats not to say that they won't read it if its passed that 2 weeks but for best chance 2 weeks imo.
 
Has anyone sent an update that was accepted? I sent an update earlier this week and got no confirmation. Upon looking on their website, apparently they don't accept updates?

Any extraneous materials received will be destroyed. The only information that will be reviewed to determine your status for an interview is:
  1. Your verified AMCAS Primary Application
  2. Your JHU SOM Supplemental Application (also known as the secondary application)
  3. Your required letters of recommendation
  4. Official MCAT scores

I was confused about this too, and asked after my interview.

I ended up submitting combined interest/update letter and was accepted. Mrs Mazza responded same day acknowledging update.

I withdrew my A here, Balty just isn’t for me. Good luck everyone still in the running!

Just btw, the class of 2027 Facebook has like 10+ current students in it. They’re also doing AMA’s with the current students after every round of acceptances so make sure to look through the FB to see all the questions they posted with answers if you get in!
