+1, I've submitted one update letter post interview as well. General email is a good guess. Anyone know if they've sent these emails historically?

That's what I was wondering, I don't remember this from past years. Why are all the clinic schools asking for letters!? Lol

Hope everyone's new year is going well 🙂 Would anyone be willing to share insights into differences or lack thereof in their interviews with PhDs versus MDs here? Thanks so much, rooting for y'all!

My PhD interviewer was a bit more formal, asking research-related questions as well as more behavioral questions about where I'd fit in a group. Still pretty conversational though. My MD (DO actually!) interviewer was extremely chill, kind of allowed me to lead the interview. Both knew my application quite well. However, I think it was really just a difference in the personalities of the interviewers, rather than specific questions they were told to ask by the admissions committee.

I would second this. Their “important dates” page has Feb 20th listed as the date when accepted applicants can plan to enroll on AMCAS.

I think that is an AMCAS-set date... they open it up for you to choose your "plan to enroll" stuff, but I think that we still hear from CCLCM before that date (but this is just a guess!) 🙂

Exactly. My only reservation is whether they included this date because that's when the AMCAS choose your school tool becomes available

I called and asked yesterday and they said 'by the end of February' which is as vague as it gets unfortunately

I expect it to be this week, most likely on Friday.

If anyone has any info from communication with the admissions office or was told anything on a later interview day please do share lol
 
Maybe they're changing things up this year? First year they asked for letters...maybe no PI calls? I'm grasping at straws yall. 😫
 
I think in the past they asked for letters after people were waitlisted but I could be wrong. I also think they used to contact pis significantly before decisions so maybe decisions will come later this cycle or they just won’t
 
I also wouldn't be surprised if decisions come at the very end of February because this is also the first year they didn't do the December wave. So I wonder if that means the committee had a larger pool of applicants to sort through for decisions this month.

This makes the most sense to me. With all letters in by the end of January, it makes sense that they'd now review the larger pool throughout February

Agreed. But I'm still hoping they come out soon. If Mayo can evaluate over 800 interviewed applicants over two days, I hope CCLCM can get through 250 in a couple weeks.

dang really? I feel like we got to give it a bit longer... but also anyone know when Rs and WLs will come 🙁

I mean, the vast majority of applicants don't post on SDN (or it may not be their first move immediately after getting a call), so I wouldn't say it's an indicator that calls are over. We have no idea how they space out calls, what order they do it in, etc
 
I just wish they’d let everyone know 🙁. I get why schools divvy it up (which totally makes sense because everyone has jobs on top of contacting candidates). The waiting just gets to you [emoji3064]
