Just wondering if schools have gotten to us yet, radio silence here.

 

[MissingCalifornia]

I submitted half my secondaries in July and the other half in August. From my August submissions, I’ve heard back from 5 schools so far. 4 schools from July. Mostly holds and rejections.

Gotcha, hopefully more good news soon!

Nothing good

Submitted primary mid July and secondaries mid August, 1 R so far. Total silence since then 🙁

 

[officially_apostate]

Submitted 08/08, verified 08/09 DO & 08/22 MD. 95% of secondaries submitted prior to 09/01. 3 MD pre II R, 2 DO pre II R, 2 DO II. 23 more secondaries submitted that I'm waiting on. Casper might have messed some up since I didn't take it until mid september and some schools sending me the app complete email at the end of september.

Update, make that 4 MD pre II R 🙁

 

[General Kenobi!]

Submitted 16 secondaries (MD only) in the first week of August: 4 IIs and 1 pre-II R.

Hello, I completed most of my secondaries around mid-August. I was wondering how mid-August submitters were doing?

 

[Benja99]

I completed three in August (dispersed throughout) and then nine in September. I got two II from two schools in August (both late August) and one from a school in mid-September. Two pre-II rejection from a school I submitted mid-September. I messed up the timing, lol.

Edit: just got a rejection today, lol.

 

[sigelbyr]

Two interview invites from schools in late August is great! I haven't heard back from any school in late august lol

 

[BlackLotus95]

I submitted in later August for most and then a handful more all done by labor day. For the most part, I've heard almost nothing. I have my cycle in my signature. Still wondering if its normal to have so much silence. 😵

 

[screwedpremed999]

Submitted a third of my secondaries on the final days of July, the rest in the first week of August. Received 3 IIs in late Sep-early Oct, and 3 pre-II Rs. Waiting for ~20 more schools RIP. Seeing how little August completes are hearing back, I'm also wondering if this much silence is normal....hoping that schools are a little slower this cycle 🙃

It’s been so silent!

 

[TakingItOneDayAtATime]

I have only heard back from two schools: 1 pre-II R and one pre-II hold.... Haven't heard back from any other schools, but multiple have been sending out R waves.

For my neuroticism and maybe others', do we think that dodging these waves implies there is a chance, or should we take it as a sign that applications are just not getting seen yet?

Same situation. I’ve gotten 3 R’s but mainly from “reach” schools, in-state bias, and Georgetown (idk why😲); but silence otherwise

 

[thegourd]

MSTP applicant here. Primaries completed in June, submitted 1 secondary end of July and 23 secondaries throughout August. Of the August schools, withdrew 1 and still waiting to hear from 10. Also still waiting to hear from the July submission school.

Applied to 40 schools all throughout August. 5 II, 4 R, 1 H

 

[TolJoob]

Applied to 20 schools (a bit less than most haha)

2 II's
1 R
1 II WL

Still waiting on 16 schools out of 20. There are a few that I assume are already soft R's, but some legitimately may have not looked at my application yet.

 

[Perlman123]

Applied to 30 schools, have 1II from my alma mater that turned into an A, 5 R/holds so far.

 

[showkayaker]
