For those who interviewed recently, do you recall them saying that update letters/letters of interest should only be sent after they send your initial admission decision?

For anyone that interviewed, did yall have an open Q+A session with current students before your interview? Or was the Q+A after?

I don't recall this but I might just not remember since it's been a little while since my interview day. Has anyone asked if it's okay to send a post-II update letter if you have significant updates (e.g., publications, abstracts, etc.)?

I have not interviewed yet, but from past threads, it seems that Sinai wants these post-II updates after you have been deferred or waitlisted.

They said we could send a post-interview update when I interviewed if we feel it is significant enough. They also said to treat it "like dating" where we're not sending these excessively but when actually appropriate

Edit: to clarify this is post-interview, pre-decision

At our interview day I believe they said “early January” would be the first round which I feel is why people were thinking this Friday
I hope you’re right!! But I thought they said late January and looking at previous years’ discussions the first decisions have been released on the third Friday of January, so 1/20 this year.

So what about the ones who get interviewed this and next week? Will they be getting results by 1/20 or later?
 
Could someone describe the interview day? Do you have to stay logged in the whole time or do you get any breaks (lunch, etc)? Thanks in advance!

10:30 am to 11:50 was a welcome and introduction with no breaks. Then from 11:50 to 2:30 you are only responsible for being on camera during your individual interview times, otherwise, you can be off-camera on a break or you can be in the waiting room where a current student may or may not be available to chat. At 2:30 everyone needs to be back on camera for some wrap-up stuff, and then they close the zoom. The wrap-up wasn't long, so we had maybe an hour or so before a new zoom was started for a Q&A with current students without the ADCOM folks, which was from 4:15 to 5:15.
