Like most people on these threads, I typically didn't spend more than a day on a secondary before submitting it back to a school. I received my last secondary on 7/20 and was marked complete on 7/21.

Lol is there any hope to get II here if you have a LM of 76? Seems like all the people getting interviews here rn have LM of like 78+

I received an interview earlier this week with a LM of 75!
 
derpman said:
Wow, thats great then haha! it was just depressing seeing all the LM 80+ people getting bunch of interviews at all these top schools wasn't sure how my LM would fare at that point

Yes, I completely understand! I feel a bit like an imposter, but I'm trying to overcome that feeling haha. Remember, median means 50% of people have stats lower than the accepted median stats!

What time did y’all get your IIs? Are they rolling them out or did they send them all at once?

OOS II today as well; complete 7/1! unexpected surprise, as I thought it was over for me for this school

SAME haha I had basically ruled it out! So YES guys there is definitely a chance! They are most likely stratifying or different screeners have different rates they are going through the applications.
 
Did anyone get the diversity email encouraging them to apply/waiving the secondary fee? I'm really grateful, the only problem is I already applied so I'm not sure what to do
 
Any recent IIs? And does anyone know if they send Rs early, or tend to wait a while?
 
Did anyone else get a cute lil Feinberg gift packet and note in the mail after the interview? Such a nice touch and gesture!!

Seriously! Got the strongest vibe that they really really care about the students, and this is just further proof of it. 🥰

Yup, yup. Ditto ditto. Not just this gift packet, but having current M4 students reach out prior to the interview to see if they could answer any questions, the total vibe of the interviews (just so welcoming and enthusiastic)...could not have done anything more to make one feel more cared about.
