Does anyone know what times they ended up calling people on the days they sent out Feb acceptances in the last few years?
First call reported last year was around 2 pm CST on Thursday with calls continuing into the next day, according to last year's thread the first call was 11 am on Wednesday the year before that and 6:30 pm on Thursday the year before that. So it could be pretty much anytime Wednesday through Friday
 
They told me that MAJORITY of acceptances come out the end of February, so. I think we still have a chance
I believe even the words "vast majority" were thrown around on the interview website. But as an October interviewee myself, it kind of feels like a possibility that probably won't happen considering the size of the pool left for very few spots left following three acceptance waves. (emphasis on the word *feels* - i have no idea what the probability is, in reality).
 
Isn’t it more likely that tomorrow is the day based on last year’s thread?
well I went back to the 2019 thread because I'm actually going insane and combined with my previous comment it looks like there have been three Wednesday releases and three Thursday releases in the last six years. so it's anyone's guess. haha pritzker please put me out of my misery alreadyyyy

Doing the good work, I see!
 
Does anyone know if they send out all of their calls in one day?
 
Also this is 100% a hail mary but I've heard of at least one other school this year where applicants first found out about their A through CYMS - is anything showing up for anyone? Nothing for me
 
Will all interviewees hear about acceptances, waitlists, and rejections this week? Or is it over the next few weeks we will hear about post-interview decisions. Thanks!
 
OH MY GOSH A!!! (at 3 pm on the dot)
Interviewed late January, my admin interviewer called me, sent a letter of intent a week or two after my interview
I've been saying as a joke that I wanted to give up not being a future doctor for Lent and looks like I got my wish

Congrats who was your admin interviewer?
 
Also for everyone who's anxiously awaiting a call - it seems like Pritzker accepts ~250 people total if 2021 wasn't a total fluke year (based on that one post-II rates spreadsheet) and if we take their "vast majority of acceptances come out in Feb" comment at face value, that means they're accepting over 150 people today/tomorrow. And it takes a long time to call that many people individually. Last year they started calling at 2 pm and still continued calls into the next day, so I would be shocked if they finished calls today.

I know this is easy for me to say, but it's not over until it's over. Good luck, sending good thoughts to all of you <3

This is what we call good neuroticism. Congrats and strong work

EDIT: just got the A via phone! Interviewed late January
 
Thank you for being gracious with all of us who are still freaking out lol but the 250 does also include waitlist acceptances, so they’re calling way less than that in these couple days unfortunately
It does but I was under the impression that Pritzker doesn't have a *ton* of waitlist movement? (I'm sorry if this adds to people's anxiety 😣)
 
Trueeee but would that be all the more reason they wouldn’t over-accept right now?
Right right, but my thinking is the number they're accepting now will be closer to that 250 total (minus the nov/dec/jan As of course) since WL acceptances won't be contributing a whole lot to that number
