Based on some previous Reddit threads I think it's possible this is how they phrase the admissions decision Zoom email... Could be absolutely wrong though.
Edit to add, I also got the Zoom link this morning.
Anybody who got rejected post II willing to save me some stress. Interviewed Oct 14 and did not get zoom link yesterday. When do you think I will get the jump scare email and they will put me down, the anticipation is killing me…
My interview was very structured with lots of standard questions, but it felt relaxed and low-stress overall. Definitely no curveballs!How was the interview for those who did (I have mine next week)? Any curveballs or things to specifically prep besides traditional interview questions?
mine couldnt have been more chill. i had a fun time with the faculty interviewer who asked me some standard questions from the adcom. my student one was unbelievably relaxed and she was soooo reassuring and fun. same thing with the standard questions.How was the interview for those who did (I have mine next week)? Any curveballs or things to specifically prep besides traditional interview questions?
+1 IS A! Interviewed on 10/16.
Wow you already have your zoom meeting?
Honestly, from what I can gather, this might be the first year they are doing deferment so it could be better? I assume they may be accepting less people right off the bat and waiting to accept more later on before forming the actual alternate list. (atleast this is what I'm telling myself to cope lol)+1 deferred email. Does anyone know if this is better or worse than an alt list offer? Do many people get accepted from deferment? Just wanna keep realistic expectations
I believe in u goge69, it's not over until it's over.damn it lol, altlist/deferred 2 years in a row 🙁
I have the same question. Also does anyone know if they even send out post-II R's? From last threads it seems to be either an A or Alt list --> Deferral this year, which is an "interesting approach" if true.Has anyone here been straight up put on the alt list and not deferred on here? I was personally deferred, however, I am yet to see someone post on here that they have automatically been placed on the alt list. What confuses me is they gave us 3 possible decisions for our application at the end of the interview and deferral was not one of those options, hence the confusion.
Yep! August 10th completion date 🙂Anyone submit a secondary early August still waiting to hear back?
For anyone who has sent post-II updates /letters of interest: Do we send it via the Additional Documents tab on the portal or do we email them? If so, which email?
Got deferred on Oct 15, send a letter of interest/update the week after, nothing yetHas anyone that was deferred during October heard back?
Also on cycletrack, are the waitlists that are being reported actually deference?
Hi. Just responding because I noticed you also elected "Waitlisted" on Admit.orgdamn it lol, altlist/deferred 2 years in a row 🙁
Thanks for the distinction.Hi. Just responding because I noticed you also elected "Waitlisted" on Admit.org
FYI: Deferred ≠ Wait/Altlist.
Deferred means they will re look at applications each month. Also note that they're accepting much fewer directly from interview compared to previous years so deferred applicants will reasonably hear more than alt listed applicants would have previous years.
Many schools take this approach and its definitely better than a wait/alt list.
+1 Submitted 8/6Anyone submit a secondary early August still waiting to hear back?
For everyone who has interviewed, how long were your interviews? I'm interviewing this week

Would also like to know! Because they said they would meet for my date on 11/11 to discuss/make decisions (aka yesterday)How long after your interview day or after the day they said the ad com was meeting for reviewing your interview day did people receive the zoom link to meet with Dr. Mehta?

+1 OOS II this afternoon, right after waking up from a bomb nap. So stoked! Can anyone shed light on what the interviews were like?
Complete 8/29yay! when were u complete
2 Interviews - one with faculty which is a little under and hour and one with a student which is 30 minutes. Both were super friendly! No trick questions but they do have some standardized ones to be fair. Really love this school the interviews made me like it even more! Plenty of opportunity to ask your questions too+1 OOS II this afternoon, right after waking up from a bomb nap. So stoked! Can anyone shed light on what the interviews were like?
