"Complete, no news." How does it happen?

I scanned through a lot of accepted and unaccepted applicants, and I found the phrase, "Complete, but no news" quite often. I'm just curious how it happens. Isn't the school supposed to notify us even it is a rejection?🙄🙄

Please share your insight, thanks 😀😀

They will send you a rejection at the end of the cycle. Most schools don't send out rejections till they are done interviewing if you meet their min. MCAT and GPA.

complete just means all of our paperwork for the application is turned in and on file with their admission office. When the adcom actually reviews it and determines a decision varies depending on how busy they are, and how many applicants have applied.

example from my Penn State interview: My interviewer had a desk COMPLETELY covered in yellow manila folders. All filled with applications. There must have been at least a thousand apps on his desk alone. PSU got more than 8K apps this year according to him 😱

So yeah, they have a lot of hard work to do...and are very rarely compensated for their efforts. All we have to do is be patient and appreciative if we were one of the lucky ones to be plucked from the pile to be called in for an interview 🙂

i'm assuming you're talking about profiles on MDapps ...did you ever think that maybe people just stopped caring to update it after a while?
