    I just was messing around, and I went to the Infosource webpage. Even though it clearly states that it won't be updated till December 2nd, my status at one school changed. All it says is that I was offered an interview at Boston U (which I already knew a long time ago), but its still something. All of my other schools are not updated at all in any way. Maybe some of you have some more interesting information stuck up there out of the blue.

    2. Thread continues after this sponsor message. SDN Members do not see this ad.

    Several of mine say "denied" (which I already knew about), while all the others say "N/A".

    I keep checking it at random intervals, hoping that somebody slipped up and entered an "acceptance" in a little bit early! :D

    Dentalstu,

    Good news! I spoke with somebody today who is in charge of the form/function aspect of InfoSource, and he said that the random items that are showing up under the status section ARE correct!

    That means you will be accepted to BU (they will make you an offer). Congratulations -- I suppose you are the first person on SDN to have an acceptance!

    Schools began loading their information into the system today, and the InfoSource website was still online for a couple of hours AFTER information was put in. You'll notice that the website is now offline because of this.

    Oh well, congrats on the sneek peak!

    Thanks! I will gladly accept the first sdn acceptance! But, I think that I will be more comfortable when they notify us officially on Dec. 2. Thanks for the info!

    I'm fairly certain you're looking at the correct URL. A few hours after my initial posting on the subject, I think someone down at aadsas h.q. realized they were leaking information and closed down the webpage. Oh well... we'll just have to be patient for another 10 days or so.

    I was wondering if schools can see the status of a students on infosource. Like can they see if someone has been accepted or waitlisted or interviewed at some other school.
    I hope this is not so, and I hope aadsas keeps this info confidential.
    Can someone comment on this?
    Thanks
