I also remember this and have been doing the same lol
I also heard this from previous years but the dean of admissions said that they were aiming to send out decisions early this year, somewhere from late december to mid jan, but who knows maybe he pranked us
When I called the admissions office back in early december I was told feb, hopefully we will hear something soon! Giving us false hope would be a very interesting prank lmao.

My question exactly! Debating sending an intent before decisions come out in Feb but not sure if I should wait until after.
That happened to me for a different school. It could be that other people got acceptances to other schools and dropped their downstate interview so now there's earlier dates opened up and the people who got invited after you are getting lucky.
They don't accept pre-II updates according to their website, but if you did interview, I have heard from med students that it is never too early to send a letter of intent! I don't think it can possibly hurt you
Thank you!
I accidentally sent four lol
I feel like someone else also asked this earlier in the thread. I didn’t see anywhere on the portal that hints at more than two recs is a red flag. Wouldn’t stress over this too much for now since it’s already been submitted better to just wait and see.
I did - I've been out of college for a while but did still have my professor LORs as well as 2 employer letters and 1 physician letter, since I didn't have a committee letter
I had 5 and I got an interview back in October!
I originally submitted two from instructors. During my interview, the interviewer suggested I upload another from the physician I worked closely with as an MA. My undergrad institution does not write committee letters.
bruh what about those of us interviewing in March 🙁
unsure if you know the answer to this based off of today's info session...but are they still sending out IIs?
I think historically (looking at past threads) march interviews have been for WL spots but don't quote me on this. Regardless, I do think there is a lot of WL movement according to what they said today
I'm not sure sorry!
Agreed only thing is they said at the end they haven't started releasing Regular Decision A's yet but will start this month. And I assumed that if you don't hear back early then it means they're still reviewing so could be WL or A.
Mine was a call but my friend had a FaceTime. It depends on the interviewer really
Theres a tour on Monday?
U get an email from Marcel about signing up
I know there will be one this coming Tuesday, not sure about Monday.
I rescheduled mine on the google sheet they sent out. Did it a few days before my tour and it wasn’t an issue. Feel better!!
Business casual is pretty standard. No need to be in a full suit but you should look professional.
You’ll get an email invitation after you attend the information session. I interviewed in late November and got the invitation in early January
what info session?
A few days/weeks after you interview, you should receive an email regarding a COM Virtual Chat that is essentially a virtual information session/Q&A. It’s typically held the month after you interview (i.e. if you interview in January, your session will be held February)
thanks!!
im bringing a parent and going this week
I’m also going on Thursday. Did you have to ask permission or are you just bringing someone?
I didnt ask permission but I am assuming that if they can't go on the tour with us, they can just sit back and wait for us in the building since its one hour.
I agree. Thanks!
I believe there was a parent on the tour when I went. It was very casual and not an issue. The parent hung out in the back most of the time.
