Can anyone tell from past years if they wait to reject everyone in like Feb? It seemed like they give out holds and interviews, but no straight rejections until the end

They say in the "forwarded for review" email that they'll let you know at the same time they would have sent out IIs and holds. The reason you're not seeing more posts about rejection is because its uncomfortable to do so.

I know that we have 2 minutes to read the vignette in the interviews, but does anyone know if that time is taken out of our 8 minutes at a station? Aka do we have 6 or 8 minutes to discuss at each station?

Pretty sure the time is not included in the 8 minutes. My guess is 2 minutes to read then we get another 8 minutes at the station to actually discuss. Anyone have any tips for preparing?

Hi! You get 2 minutes to read the prompt and take notes. Then you’ll have 8 minutes to discuss with the interviewer. For MMIs, I’ve found
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI): Winning Strategies from Admissions Faculty by Samir P Desai to be helpful. Good luck!

Is anyone else going insane post-interview? Honestly much worse than the post-MCAT wait.

Yeahhhhh, I’m so nervous and so excited [emoji23][emoji23] I can’t tell what emotion I am feeling but I can’t freakin wait to hear back!!! Hopefully we hear back by October 28th!
 
I got smacked around at several stations, so I’ve honestly already accepted the R/WL at this point 😅
That'll only make the A even sweeter

I was nervous immediately after. Then I found out my car was towed, completely wrecked my day and made me even more anxious

If I have no hold and people are on hold after my complete date is it safe to assume i will get the R soon?
