[kaori_ono]

wow just got a weekend ii! complete early July

Congrats! Stats if you don’t mind sharing?

Don't make my mistake of signing up for the first interview date available without knowing that you have to provide 4-5 short essays > 5 business days before the interview! I'll be alright but the next couple days are gonna be more stressful than I had planned lol

do you think we'll get decisions on Oct 15th?

 

[Horsetooth]

do you think we'll get decisions on Oct 15th?

Last year's thread suggests they'll go out next Thursday/Friday but 🤷‍♀️

 

[Catamount802]

do you think we'll get decisions on Oct 15th?

Narrator: "they did not get decisions on Oct 15th"

 

[fintomdcc]

Any chance it's going to be today?

Not looking likely. I’m waiting until Friday to get nervous based on last years data.

 

[notsurewho]

should we expect first wave of phone calls tmmrw?

 

[Catamount802]

should we expect first wave of phone calls tmmrw? Interviewed 9/15.

It’s possible! Last year it was Friday via email.

Me to Rochester today:

On the edge of my seat every time I get an email.

 

[notsurewho]

so.... emails tomorrow?

 

[sad.pre.med]

so.... emails tomorrow?

Last year, it seems that the first round of A emails were sent via email at ~8:45am CT on Friday

i think the first round only included interviewers from 9/3? Didn’t see any decisions for mid of month but maybe just a small sample size.

It looks like interview dates up until 9/8 last year were included in the first A wave, but the first WL wave a few days later included a few 9/15 interviewees. The 9/15 and following people were accepted a little later on Nov 2

Hmm, seems strange to me that they'd do WL first days before sending As...

 

[Catamount802]

Hmm, seems strange to me that they'd do WL first days before sending As for 9/15, could be that not all 9/15 were covered before the first A wave (I'm just coping at this point if I don't hear anything tomorrow).

I’m only refreshing my email every 30 seconds or so, trying to take it easy you know

 

[ilovepi314]

still nothing

 

[notsurewho]

[Horsetooth]

What time does the admissions office close for the day?

 

[anonymousklutz]

I’m pretty sure they are closed right now. My neurotic ass went back to all the emails they’ve ever sent to see if there was a chance of receiving an email after 4pm 🥲

 

[sad.pre.med]

Dang, what happened? it seems like in the past two years, they've released decisions on either the thursday or friday of this week of October. So now I guess we'll just be at the edge of our seats with no idea when decisions might come...

 

[notsurewho]

surely it comes tomorrow...

Me looking at my inbox this morning

They said 6-8 weeks. It's only been like 4ish weeks for their earlier interview dates.

Actually 8.5 weeks for people who interviewed late Aug, so hopefully we hear back this week!

Ah there were august interviews? I didn't realize!

 

[sad.pre.med]

Ah there were august interviews? I didn't realize!

I interviewed 8/30, so I'm technically overdue. Got another unrelated email and nearly had a nervous breakdown

 

[anonymousklutz]

Has anyone tried calling the office of admissions?

No I'm playing hard to get

I have a quick question about the MSTP secondary interview essays. For the "non-academic experiences" does research count as one? It is a huge part of my application and it feel like I should talk about it if my interviewer doesn't have access to the rest of my application.

I would strongly recommend listing something not about research or school-- they're trying to get to know you as a person! Congratulations on the interview. My interviewers for PhD all had access to my full file, so no worries there. I think MD did as well, though they may have been blinded.

 

[anonymousklutz]

Hey guys, called admissions and they are having issues with their system/portal, but we should be hearing back later this week or next week

[agua.connoisseur]

Same... sucks for us :/

 

[notsurewho]

Same... sucks for us :/

can only hope they're doing a slow roll out of manual emails with their system being down potentially?
