Hey, for those who interviewed later in January or February, has anyone heard back yet? Does anyone know how long it typically takes for admissions to make a decision?

Their website says end of march, but I see that some ppl who interviewed in January heard back already, so not sure if they’ll continue releasing decisions early

Just checked their website and they changed their decision notifications. It now says:

Dec. 2024 (rolling admissions thereafter)

Thank you so much. I appreciate it!

They are probably watching 🧐, thats why it is changed now!

For interviews after Dec, it seems like decisions are being released 1 week after the committee meets (end of month).

IS WL 🥲 Does anyone know how the waitlist movement is for Jacobs? Really crushed

 

[iamscaredplzhelp]

+1 IS waitlist 🙁 I’m so sad but I hope to get off the waitlist

 

[iamscaredplzhelp]

IS WL 🥲 Does anyone know how the waitlist movement is for Jacobs? Really crushed

This cycle has been so strange, but I’m going to guess April will start the movement and that the March interviews are the last batch

 

[VINILOVER123]

Withdrawled , good luck everyone

 

[fatbubble]

Any As with this batch of decisions? I wonder if their class is full.

 

[whiteflames]

+1 IS WL. Crushed like everyone else. I hope the movement is early really wanna go here.

same, hoping it starts soon 🥹 looks like they’re conducting interviews later into the cycle this year

 

[hopefulbonewizard]

wishing for the best for all of us on the WL

 

[iamscaredplzhelp]

I don’t think the class is full bc the accepted gc has less than 70 people. However, I haven’t heard of any As with this batch of decisions yet which surprises me. I’m wondering if they called it rolling admissions but are just gotta admit people later in the cycle bc the cycle is running late anyways.

We got this!

 

[iamscaredplzhelp]

Yes please 🥲 hearing sometime in April would be amazing <3

 

[iamscaredplzhelp]

Cycle tracker has an acceptance logged from yesterday!

 

[sweetstyle]

[prayingeveryday]

any tips to get off WL want this so bad :/

(IS WL on 3/6)

 

[prayingeveryday]

has anyone been rejected immediately after interview?

 

[bur_covery]

could send them a letter of intent to state that this is your first choice and will attend if offered an acceptance

i was thinking of this already, how soon do you think i should send one?

 

[cookiemonster278]

I don’t think they send rejections post-II, but not sure

 

[prayingeveryday]

I don’t think they send rejections post-II, but not sure

that could mean that their waitlist is like 400+ kids bc they send about 600 II😭

 

[cookiemonster278]

that could mean that their waitlist is like 400+ kids bc they send about 600 II😭

So, according to admit, they give 567 interviews and accept 355, however I don’t know if the post WL acceptances are incorporated in the 355

 

[bur_covery]

unless you have a big update coming soon (like a paper getting published or smth), I would send it as soon as possible since we don't know when decisions are coming out.

 

[iamscaredplzhelp]

I sent an update letter a couple weeks back so I was gonna wait another week or so to send a LOI

IS A on 3/6; interviewed 2/26. There is still hope for people yet to interview, they are still offering acceptances at this point in the cycle. I’m hoping for the best for everyone on the WL, keep ur heads up and send those letters of intent!

Hard to say cause it's difficult to judge yourself objectively... I feel like interviewing in person definitely helped, but I'm also very passionate about all my activities and came into my interviews confident and prepared. Didn't shy from making jokes and just tried to be myself. Went on many tangents with my interviewers about shared interests and probably spent about quarter of each interview just shooting the **** about things minorly, or not at all, related to medicine. Made an effort to remember pleasantries (asking how their day's been, thanking them for opening doors, thanking them for their time, etc.). Asked really good questions at the end of the interview. You get the interviewers' names in advance, so I spent time thinking of questions that would be informative for me and get them thinking; both of my interviewers commented on this.

That being said, I'm squarely above the average stat range for accepted students at UB, so that may have helped. I also have few ties to the area but demonstrated reasons that their school is a good fit. Did not send thank you letters.

 

[fatbubble]

Any news?

Any news?

Doesn’t look like it. I think they’ll be releasing the next round of decisions first week of April, like they did in February and March
