This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Update did receive a call this morning from Dean she said she manually updated accepted students last night. Your portal should change and your should receive an actual “Your accepted congratulations” email.
Any chance she mentioned if all the As in this wave have already been sent/updated? 🥲 Hahaha
 
Is the portal down? I was able to access it a couple days ago but can't now
 
I just don't get why some people received A's over the weekend 😭 what does that mean for the rest of us man
I’m hoping (coping) that there’s no real difference and they just sent out a few early… somehow…
Their website still says decisions are coming out 2/15 but I did find this:

Acceptance Decision
The selection process is guided by the AAMC’s principles of holistic review which incorporate a method of assessing an applicant’s qualifications by which balanced consideration is given to the collective preparatory experiences, personal attributes, and academic metrics of each candidate. The Admissions Committee will meet to review the admission files of each interviewed applicant. At the committee meeting, the applicant's file will be presented and reviewed by the entire committee. Each committee
member will vote on each candidate whether to approve or not approve a candidate. Following the
vote, the director of MS recruitment, admissions, and retention prepares a spreadsheet of the results of each candidate presented at the meeting and forwards it to the Admissions Committee chair for review and approval.

Offers of Admission
The director of MS recruitment, admissions, and retention prepares the offer letters based on the order an applicant appears on the voting spreadsheet tally on the approved committee list.
The chair or vice chair of the Admissions Committee will sign all admission letters. Included with the admission letters, students will receive a packet of acceptance materials which include information on health and disability insurance, financial aid, health clearance, housing, and next steps to enrollment as well as the MD Program Technical Standards. All final decisions on an applicant’s status will be sent via email to the
address she or he provided on the AMCAS file.
Those who do not receive an initial letter of offer will be placed on a waitlist based on his/her rank order number. Offers will be made from this waitlist based on rank order number to fill positions that become vacant when an applicant declines admission. Applicants who are not placed on the waitlist will receive a letter stating they were not accepted into the MD Program. The director recruitment, admissions, and retention; chair; and vice chair are charged by the Admissions Committee to use the waitlist to fill spots as they become vacant.

So I guess the remaining 140-ish of us are lowkey waitlisted huh 🥲😢🙃

Do we get a notification for being on the waitlist? Or if you don't hear anything today that means waitlist? This process is so darn unpredictable and I wish we would hear answers in a consistent manner D:

Can someone email/call the office to ask if all communication has been sent out for today 🫣 And if it has, will they inform us of our position number in the waitlist
