What correspondence? Sorry I'm just worried because I never got any email from the school after my interview?
So I interviewed last week and just yesterday they sent me a follow-up / post-interview survey. In it, it says:

The first round of decisions is expected to go out in late December or early January, and the second in early March.
 
Did anyone else not receive a follow-up/post-interview survey? I interviewed a while ago and I didn't.
 
if you didnt get an II this round, do you think they send rejections at the end of December or do you get passed along into their second round?
 
For those who received the email, had you sent in an update letter, already? Are you currently in school with updated transcripts to send or in a gap year?

I got the email, I did not send any updates & I’m in a gap year
 
They told us late December/early January at my interview a few weeks ago!!
Yeah they definitely said LATE December/early Jan, and I’d trust that over MSAR

Some advice: whenever I hear a timeline I always add a couple weeks. Always assume they'll get back to you on the later end, for your sanity. When I heard "late Dec / early Jan" I immediately thought "Welp I won't expect to hear back 'till at least Jan 15th!"

In my info session Dr. Goodell said she has a personal goal of having decisions out by 12/22, but who knows. historically they seem to have come out around the 14th? all we can do is wait

Thus why I won’t expect it till Jan - if she gets to us before Xmas it’ll be a pleasant surprise!
 
in the past three cycles, decisions usually have come out this week- i guess they are behind this year
 
I think they tend to release decisions on Wednesdays ... so who knows, we may start hearing tomorrow
in my stalking efforts of past threads i think it was mostly fridays? im not sure....im terrified either way!

I think last year people got acceptance calls on Wednesdays and then the official emails/decisions came out Friday. But also someone said Dr. Goodell had a personal goal of releasing decisions by Dec 22 so maybe we’re looking at next week. Or the new year. Hoping I’m wrong though 🥹
 
shaking and quaking waiting for tomorrow...if tomorrow is the day
boston is my dream school! praying my homegirl kristen pulls through

Has there been any indication decisions will come out tomorrow...? Based off the email I thought it wouldn't be until "late December/early January"

no i'm just delusional lol, i thought maybe tomorrow at earliest just based on last year's decision timeline
 
Is there any point in still sending an update letter? My manuscript just got accepted for publication
 
For those who interviewed, can we send our thank you letters directly to our interviewer, or is it best to upload them on the portal instead?
