This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Did people get the “although it’s too soon to tell, we’ll keep your application strongly in mind” email by Dr. Ehlert? I’m wondering if this is like a highly ranked email like Mayo? Or maybe I’m just delulu, which is probably the case 😅

When did you interview? Was there any context to that email?

Sorry to disappoint, but that's the auto response that they send when you upload thank you letters to the portal.

Wait when was this sent? Was this in response to a thank-you note or just automatic?
 
oof I never got a reply when I uploaded my thank you letters - did yall use the applicant update tab on the portal?
 
I don’t think the email from Dr. Ehlert is exactly automated. I got it a week after my interview, but I do think everyone should get it
 
is more than one post interview update too much? not sure since we are coming up on decision time
 
No idea what’s going on with my replies, but the last day of interviews was the end of Jan, FYI!

rip columbia for me lol
 
sorry I know this convo was from a while ago^ but do you think they're expecting a response to that email if we don't have any questions at this point? Think most of mine were answered in the student Q&A
I genuinely have no idea so take this with a grain of salt but my perspective is that it never hurts to at least thank the rep for their effort in reaching out even if you don't have questions!
 
How long did it take to get an acknowledgement email after uploading post-II updates to the portal?
 
I have it on good authority that Patrice (one of the MSTP directors) likes sending out decisions on Valentine's Day - so look out in your emails tomorrow 😉
 
Where’s our valentine’s day gift mr apple 😩
FOR REALLLL... one of the worst things during this app. cycle for me has been days where I think I am gonna hear something (even like a rejection) but instead it's just radio silence 😭😭😭
 
I have heard from the grapevine that admissions decisions have been made, but that the final go-ahead from someone higher up to actually send out decision notifications has not been made yet. Sorry for the bait 🙏. I promise we still love you ❤️.
I still love you though happy apple

Do you think we will still hear back today?

is this delay something we should be concerned about ? like nyu 2.0?
 
We (students) have been told multiple times that nothing will change and that the MSTP expects no change in the target matriculating class size.
Hi! I'm just wondering, if admissions decisions have already been made and the MSTP is not expecting to make any cuts, why are decisions being withheld? I'm assuming the uncertainties with the NIH etc. are playing a role in the delay. If that is the case, what change are they waiting for to ultimately release decisions?

The fact that they have made decisions but are not releasing them makes me worry that either the MSTP or administrators higher up are considering making cuts in the class size.
 
(Not to make this about the MDs but when do we think those are coming out so sorry MSTPs)
 
Hey! I wanted to ask if you anyone knew if the committee was still interviewing? I had called to ask but they said my they are still processing applications and to send interest letters, but I am not sure if it’s appropriate to do that if they are done sending interviews. Plus, I have not seen any new interviews invites on here or admit.org 😭
