I have heard from 10/16. Had 8 II, 2 Holds, 6 complete silence being all complete in Mid July.
 
I've heard from 5/18, all rejections. Complete dates ranging from early August to mid-September.
 
10/38 MDs, all rejections of course. Complete late Aug to mid Sep
 
I pretty much checked out of the process since my first acceptance. Was put on hold today for 2nd interview. I withdrew from all my other II's.

Waiting to hear back from 13 other schools. So far, heard back from 12/25 schools.

I'll keep withdrawing from II's that I don't particularly want to go to. Now it's just the waiting game.
 
Heard back from 16/34. Complete since end of July.
 
MD: 3/25
DO: 4/13
~18% total so far!
 
80%. 3 acceptances, 5 II’s, and 2 silences.
 
16 out of 26 so 61%. Complete early to mid August depending on when the school downloaded my committee letter.

As of 1/11:
7 IIs (2 acceptances)
1 hold
8 rejections

I didn’t hear back from any schools in November, but received an II last Friday.

Edit: jk, I received a rejection in November, but the rest were silent.

9/18

3 Rejections
2 Holds
4 II

August: 1 II
September: 1 II, 1 hold
October: 2 II, 2 Rejections
November: Nothing, just 1 rejection, 1 hold.
December: ??

Just assuming that since Nov was a dead month that I'm gearing up to be rejected from all the non-rollings that havent gotten back to me.
 
Applied to 5 DO schools

Completed and submitted primaries mid-June, and completed all secondaries by early August.

Received 4 II's, 2 acceptances, 1 rejection, and 1 school that hasn't peeped a word since I submitted my secondary back in August.
 
As of today:

15/31 or 48% of schools have responded

16 Silent
6 Rejections
1 Hold (pre-interview)
8 Interview Invitations
1 Acceptance

Edit: if it would help, LizzyM ~70 California resident.

Your break downs are almost exactly the same as mine, & I have a single acceptance too, LizzyM 70 O3O
 
For whatever it's worth, I was chatting with an admissions advisor yesterday who said this seems to be an unusually silent year so far.
 
9/16 schools. 5 IIs, 4 Rs. This has been such a long wait and it's only half over... I just want to know where I'll be in 7 months.
 
Another R this morning. But still not much movement since my last post here:
8/19 schools have replied (7 Rs, 1 hold, 0 IIs).
 
23 secondaries

8 II, 3 R, 1 Hold, 11 silence
 
17 MD: 4 rejections, 3 holds, 10 silence 🙁
5 DO: 4 II (2 acceptances, 2 withdrawn), 1 silence

LizzyM 65 complete mid July/early August
 
~38%.

2 IIs
13 Rs
24 SILENT

I'm going crazy. With all of the interviews that have gone out already and the fact that they're scheduling into March at some schools, I'm starting to feel the impending doom. I know it's going to just be a slew of denials. Bummed.

But remember that a good chunk of those interview slots are going to open up once more acceptances start going out. Like, the same 1000 applicants could be holding 5000 interview slots right now... So don't count yourself out yet. There will be some movement in the spring.
 
4 II, 1 hold, 4 R pre II, 11 silence. So about 41%.

1 acceptance, 2 II, 5 R, 13 silence. The 2 II were on the same day in December, so there's still hope!
 
Another R this morning. But still not much movement since my last post here:
8/19 schools have replied (7 Rs, 1 hold, 0 IIs).
So many Christmas presents this week! Two more Rs bring me to:
10/19 (52%) replied: 9 Rs, 1 hold, 0 IIs, 9 silence
