posted previously in past threads (with last year added). based on this, i think we can assume a friday
I was told March 1st at my interview day, but I assume it may be Feb 28 or March 7 as has been discussed above.
did they tell you march 1st onwards or march 1st itself?
To my knowledge and what I remember they said March 1st on the day. Given it lands on a Saturday, however, I do believe 28th or 7th are more realistic.
Can’t hurt, even if it is too late. Might as well send it if it’s substantial
I dont know if that will help change initial offers before waitlist but the decisions have already been made, I work in an HMS lab and an mdphd student in adcom told me they're done with decisions.
does your homie know when decisions are coming out perchance?
i've been relatively calm, but this has me flipping out now lol
If they’re done then can they release decisions 😄
Edited out: sorry i thought u were questioning my claim not asking a question lol.If they’re done then can they release decisions
ok, so from now until the release date, since they've made all the decisions, what do they do?
Hopefully
@tomatosoup1 I apologize i thought u were questioning my claim not just asking a question lol, i am just an applicant too and i obviously wouldnt try to ask beyond what she tells me as its probably not okay but she's just a voting member on the hst program (pathways & mstp have ONLY faculty in the main voting committee )
haha no worries i was just trying to make light of all the waiting we have to do😅
wait so did she say that all programs (pathways + mstp) have finished making decisions or did she just speak to HST?
LOL this post made my stomach drop thinking it was a decision, I need to get off SDN
No cause the way I felt my stomach go through the floor when I first glanced at it
this friday is gonna be ROUGH
the wait until friday is already rough
worst part is that it could be next Friday D:
Websites are often not updated super regularly so I feel like even if they are going to release it this Friday they’re not gonna update the website just to say that. But it’s a good reminder that we could be waiting until Marco 7th and it wouldn’t be “late”
true -- another thing to note is that in the past many years, they've never released as late as March 7th, so all of this is really up in the air
You’re a goat this is wonderful thank you.
Now the hardest part: getting through Wednesday and Thursday
this was lovely thank youBest of luck to everybody. No matter what happens YOU INTERVIEWED AT THE BEST MEDICAL SCHOOL IN THE WORLD. Even if you end up in a smaller pond, you're still a big fish. As my mentor told me, there are many roads to the same place. For all you know youl'l end up back at MGH or Brigham for residency or fellowship or even faculty??!! I've been here a while and I haven't met too many HMS faculty who actually went here. As my dad tells me... expect the worst, pray for the best, and get what comes. Don't stress over something that already has been set. I like to think that if you are interviewing at HMS, you likely already have a few options as backup. FOCUS ON THAT. You're going to become a doctor and that is what matters. Think of how few people can say that. You're standing in the shoes that millions would want to be in. Take a minute and thank your shoes. Sleep tight tonight by counting your As instead of sheep. If you do take the R, don't come back to this thread. It will only make you feel worse. My prescription for an R is to watch It's a Wonderful Life tomorrow night. No, it's not Christmastime anymore but it's such a ****ing good movie that will remind you of the intrinsic value of life itself, and that even if you are unable to achieve your aspirations, you can indirectly save the lives of those around you in ways we take for granted.. Btw all of this was directed at myself bc I'm actually stressed af.
my moneys on today boys lets gooooooo
Thank you! Do you have any hunches about when we’ll hear?
Likely 10AM EST ish. They don't all come out at once, depends on program applied. Even then, there's like a 15 minute window when responses come out for each program. so don't stress too much
Oh so you think today 😳😨
Thank you!
