especially last year thread showed not many people being accepted off of the deferral list. Previous years were actually better.

Yup it has been getting worse and worse each year it looks like. Last year they looked super disorganized, sending people II holds well after they were already done interviewing. People do get off the waitlist in July, but the waitlist is not the same as the deferral. People seem to rarely get off the actual deferral list and are usually held until the waitlist in June/July.

once like feb/march hits the deferral list turns into the waitlist though

No, they keep interviewing until late March/early April. The waitlist did not start until June last year.

I have noticed that this cycle is not only seemingly running late, but schools are also yield protecting heavily this time around.

I am an optimist, and I can see how this cycle is worrying, but one thing is for sure: this year and last year are different. I'm hoping that last year was a fluke, and that they simply deffered people until interviews are done, and then the movement will happen as it did in the years before.

wait yea so many people got accepted late june/early july

Around what time are people getting deferral emails? And is it just Tuesdays that they make decisions?

People got deferred but no Acceptances yet

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

i neeeeed good news here today. got deferred somewhere else this morning and it’s been like a month since they’ve sent out any As??

 

[doctorellewoods]

OOS II!!! I'm so hype because I genuinely did not think I would hear back from them due to how many apps they receive.

For people that have interviewed, how did you fill out the Community Service and Clinical Experiences coursework section? Thank you!!!

I personally haven’t taken any classes that specifically count as community service or clinical experience, so I left them blank! They just want to know if you have any specific course credits that would fit another those topics. For example, my university had a poverty studies course with a practicum component where students actually went out and interacted with individuals experiencing homelessness in the community, so that would count as a community service class!

I interviewed on 10/18 and got deferred on 11/7....a really quick turnaround :/
This is one of my dream schools - does anyone have any advice on how to proceed? I have not sent an update/interest letter yet, but I'm trying to figure out when the best time is to send one

 

[PistachioSkies]

No, I think there is def more to go out. They interview pretty late into the cycle.

 

[tinyutensils]

Anyone get II invites after a hold? Also congrats to all the people with As yippeeee

 

[sarcasmrules]

For Drexel, a hold is an R. I haven't gotten either a hold or an II yet.

 

[Telluride_0820]

Got it! Thank you so much 🙂 I went ahead and left it blank
