I just submitted my secondary, RD. How long after submission of the secondary application do they offer II/R?
 
will we know that we got the R in real-time or will they wait until the end of the cycle?
 
are the first 2 years P/F or graded? is lecture mandatory?

My understanding is that it’s P/F but they still rank. Most lectures are not mandatory, all of them are recorded. I was told that changes by system or block. They said some have more lectures that aren’t mandatory attendance, and some are because they have more group activities or labs, etc.
 
Does anyone know when they said they would start reviewing candidates?

Not sure when they’re reviewing exactly, but based on what I was told - we should be hearing next week for those that interviewed early October.

The admissions folk said that we could expect an answer in the middle of November. Really hoping that they keep their word because I'm driving myself nuts during the wait

Looking at past threads, they usually notify on Fridays, and I doubt they'd do it the Friday after Thanksgiving, so that leaves this week
 
I interviewed Wednesday and they told us we’d hear back next week so I’m wondering if they may be lumping them all then?

they told my interview batch that we'd hear in the middle of November. I guess we can now make an amendment to that statement and assume *END* of November.
 
IS II 🥲
Congrats, and good luck with both interviews, Pons! For everyone else: I interviewed on Nov 1st and received my hold on Nov 17th. IS Non-trad ORM. I really liked my interview day! Unsure when holds will hear back- but I just wanted to add another data point. Good luck with your cycles, everyone!
