Congrats to everyone who got an A! Anyone else still waiting?

I was so psyched about VCU and thought I did a good job during the interview 🙁
Feel the exact same way. Still waiting here as well.

Don't know if they send the emails all at once or if they come in waves....?

Also don't know if you ever get any email if you aren't selected, or if it's just silence until further notice unless it's an R?

Seems like it’s coming in waves, but don’t get your hopes up. They don’t over accept and they space it out quite a bit here.
 
IS A received at 8:46 PM! LM 71.5. Secondary received 7/5 and completed 7/6, II received 8/1I, interview completed 8/27.

Huge congrats to all other 8/27 interviewers—you guys were a brilliant and funny group. Best of luck to everyone still waiting on decisions!
 
Congrats guys

See you in December @ClashRoyaleKing <3
 
I guess I’ll cope and hope today had mostly IS A’s with more OOS A’s at later dates. I really thought I did well here too. I guess catch you guys in mid December.

Is it really true that our chances for acceptance are lower after the first decision date 🙁 didn't get one last night
 
I just interviewed 10/16 - I know dr jackson said to send updated grades, but is now the time to also send an update letter? 3 new service initiatives/programs rolled out from my team at a free clinic ive been volunteering at since freshman year

i’m guessing they didn’t meet on monday or get to everyone? but i’ve seen earlier interview ppl say that their hold email was delayed to the following week!
ya, i interviewed 9/19 and received my hold email 10/7. some people on here who interviewed on the same date received the hold like 9/23 so i was tweaking but don’t worry you’ll get it
 
Got the status update. Just reminding us how their cycle works and that people still on hold haven’t been forgotten about.
