What’s the turn around time for decisions after an interview right now? Has anyone interviewed in the past month and heard back?

Someone had an early February interview and heard back within 2-3 weeks. I had mine about 10 days after theirs, so I an hopeful I will hear this coming week. I do not expect it will be that fast though.

anyone hear back that did the admissions day zoom on 2/18?
If it's helpful, last cycle my II date was 2/6, I was 3/8, A was 4/15. It seemes lots of classmates found out in April, regardless of interview time.

Just got the email reminding us of the in person tours - I’m currently on the waitlist - do we think this is relevant to show interest or not worth it? I’m OOS

I know somewhere earlier in the thread someone mentioned waitlist movement, but how many do we think will get off it?

Is anyone sill has not received any R or II and your application status is still under review? Doesn't look like they are sending II anymore.

any of you WL folks have a second interview?

Not I. I did ask about them when I was called to schedule the initial interview, and I was told it’s more of a fluke when a required question is missed by an interviewer. My interviewer turned out to be my favorite of the whole cycle so far.

omg thank you that makes me feel a lot better about my second interview!!! my first one didn't ask any of the hard hitting questions (why us, why medicine, etc) and was entirely situational, so maybe that's why I got a second one

See my guy ended up really liking specific parts of my application and had to add the situational questions in as a last “oh yeah before I forget…” I still don’t think I got much of “why us” or “why medicine” equivalents though. I’ve come to realize most schools don’t seem to ask those, especially if already covered in secondaries. Yet I prepare every time regardless. Not sure if you still have to do your second, but good luck. Prepare the same way and be ready for a different attitude/approach by them as some have mentioned.

does HMSOM historically have good WL movement? sorry if this has been discussed before
In previous year threads there was a lot of movement because ppl reject due to the high cost of the school, good chance there will be this year 🙂
Yeah they confirmed that they're adding the scholarships now. It should be updated by Mon/Tues next week, if not they told me to email them
I doubt it would be available that quickly. Check their website though or maybe email them asking for a copy of the information when they have it.

Got the A on 3/14. II on 1/22, interview on 2/10. I sent a letter of intent on 3/7 iirc. Edit: I'm OOS
Congrats! May I ask what interested you here that made you send a letter of intent? I don’t much about the school.

3+1 year program (I'm fairly interested in getting an MBA), location (I know a few people w/in 40 min drive), Admissions Day vibe (social, bright, and driven), longitudinal emergency medicine during rotations (I've currently got my sights on EM). Only major cons for me personally were cost and mandatory lectures. One or two more personal reasons as well.

Did you send your letter of intent via email to admissions or on the portal?

Does anyone know when waitlist movement begins/when it usually ends for this school?
ladybugturtle
New Member
any recent acceptances?
called the school they said "its already begun" and that it ends in July. I tried to ask when the most significant movement happens and the person who answered didnt seem to know and just said again that movement has already started.
