Correspondence from the school / what they said in my info sessions / interview day.

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.

 

[ineedanswers]

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?

[deleted1167714]

Would someone who got the email mind copying/pasting what it said?

 

[deleted982921]

Is the student panel required?

It's very casual (they are in hoodies in their living rooms) and they provide really valuable information so I would highly recommend it

 

[SunshineMD_AD]

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

[GW001]

When is decision day? I thought MSAR said December 13?

🕐🙏

 

[ChacoHiker]

🕐🙏

They told us late December/early January at my interview a few weeks ago!!

 

[itschilly]

OOS Pre-II R complete 8/24

 

[j_diggity]

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!"

 

[Nyny212]

OOS II complete 10/20

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!

 

[cellculture4L]

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

 

[medicine2024]

Any update?

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 🥹

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

 

[misterslack]

I wonder if today is the day...

These days are getting longer and longer...

 

[soccercity15]

Stats?

 

[sasagayo]

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?

 

[deleted1175672]

how long did your interviews last?
