I'm so sorry to hear that! Would you mind sharing if you are IS or OOS?

I think so! FWIW, I interviewed on 12/16, and they gave us a late February/early March estimate for decisions. So judging by the last few waves, it seems like they're sending out decisions about 2 to 2.5-ish months after the interview. Honestly, it's probably less consistent than that, and I'm definitely going a little delirious from the agony of waiting, so... grain of salt.

Still have not heard a single thing after my 10/22 interview, so who knows what schedule they are going by

I interviewed the same day and haven’t heard anything. I reached out to see if they had an idea of when I would hear and they told me that they cannot be certain of a time and they appreciate my patience. Waiting is agonizing
OOS.

Bonus points if we can distinguish between campuses
If you go based on FB groups for the accepted students... currently 37 in Twin Cities group and 8 in Duluth (I think this also includes admin putting the group together)
This is also just a rough guess because not everyone joins the FB group but I know people used this as an estimate last year
Doing gods work.
Is there any word for St. Cloud?
I have not seen any FB group made for that campus yet

Can someone tell me what to expect for the asynchronous interview? Is it similar to the KIRA assessment stuff some other schools be doing?

It's a pretty standard MMI vibe (in my limited experience). They give you an interface to reveal a question, then a few minutes to video record your response. There's also a way to test your audio/video beforehand. Sounds like a fair few people had technical difficulties but Admissions was pretty accomodating; I'll +1 a few folks' recommendations to get the asynch portion done early so you can deal with any issues that come up.

super chill and friendly with mine! i had a med student and a physician and it was just 5 questions they ask everyone and then we just talked
Thank you.
I did, and there was a great discussion with M1-M4's about the school (no admissions present so full honesty). I really enjoyed it and would recommend
How casual/formal is it? Were people wearing interview attire or just casual clothes?
I logged in at work! So, I was wearing scrubs. Seemed like 50/50 on formal vs casual attire

Congrats!!!! When are the available dates? Also do you know what campus?
Thanks!!! It's for the 'regional mission' (apparently, you find out which campus you're going to upon acceptance) and the dates are the first two weeks of Feb

I am in the same boat as you, submitted in August and have not heard anything..... Trying to stay hopeful!

do people who interview in jan-march even have a shot at an A? i was looking at previous years and it didn’t seem great…. just wanna know if i should temper my expectations
As a fellow Jan-Mar interviewee...I hope so! but also, this year was completely different than the other years because pretty much all campuses started interviewing much later than usual (i heard it was because of personnel changes) I believe that they wouldn't offer you an interview if they didn't think you had a shot at an A. The U is interested in you, so all you can really do is try your best!!! You got this!!!

yeah just hoping it’s different this year like everything else
Im pretty sure they started interviewing quite a bit earlier last year so it could be about a month delayed compared to last year

So do they actually send you a rejection? I was under the impression that you only received word if you were accepted or WL.

OOS II this afternoon

Wait so we just won't hear anything if we are rejected?
I was waitlisted last year...
From my understanding, they do not start to pull from waitlist until after admitted students rank their top school choice which is end of April. I heard about rejection on April 29th (I think), but I also believe some people who were at top of WL were pulled and accepted around this time too (without getting on alternate list).
After a few more weeks they then send out the alternate list
That's so much waiting time. It basically forces you to have to gear up for reapplying. A frustrating process.
