How did you respond to "6. Please explain to the Admissions Committee factors that you could not highlight above that would help the Admissions Committee better understand your unique circumstances. If you would like to briefly highlight any substantial updates with regard to your application (example, volunteer experiences) that have occurred after you submitted the Primary AMCAS Application, please summarize them below."
Is this like an optional essay, or should i elaborate on something?

I would talk about what you have done during the time between the previous application and the current one. How have you improved and were you able to address some of the weaknesses in your app from the previous cycle? Use this question to emphasize your growth!
I used this question to elaborate on unique work experiences that I was not able to emphasize in my primary application. Some people may use this section as a general update essay but if you do not have any new experiences, expanding on previous experiences may be helpful.
nope
I am not sure about the status of other applicants; however, I am an ED applicant who is still pending a potential interview invitation at this time.
Me too. I know there’s still time until the 16th, but I feel like they will start sending RD interview invites when there aren’t any ED applicants left that they want to seriously consider. And given that RD interview invites went out around this time last year, I’m a little worried
RD II. Complete 7/20

Did anyone receive an application complete email? It says in my portal that it has been complete for a long time now but have never received an email.
Never got a complete email either, just that they have my secondary. It says complete on the portal.

Did they announce this? Or is this a prediction
It says on their website. I could see them coming out as early as today though

One of my friends was just accepted ED to Mercer earlier today.
Anyone familiar with odds of serious consideration after being deferred into RD from the ED pool?
Same! Good luck everyone!

it definitely happens! i'm not sure the odds (was rejected after being deferred and then waitlisted last year) but i know people who were accepted

From browsing older SDN forums the odds look pretty low as most got waitlisted in March, but sample size is quite small with only 5-6 applicants that posted about ED deferral across the past 3 cycles.

Does anyone know if they review applications chronologically?
nope
II today
Do you remember when you submitted your secondary?
The interview lasts from 10-1. There’s an initial 45 mins of introductions, then you have 45 mins with your interviewers. Then a small break and you resume at noon with a virtual “lunch” with the student ambassadors. Everything wraps up around 1.
Awesome! Thank you!
