No interview invites, no "your file is complete" the past 2 wks. It feels like the AdComs are already enjoying their winter breaks. Does anyone feel the same way? I thought december is supposed to be the peak of the interview season. No?
 
i agree. i haven't really heard much at all since thanksgiving break even. it's starting to piss me off quite a bit actually.
 
my friend got 5 interviews in teh past week......its not been quiet for some ppl lol, but its been dead for me 😛 😳
 
Well, the 4 philly schools that I interviewed at last week (the week ending in 12/10) all told me that this was their last week of interviewing until the new year and that if they didn't meet to discuss my file by the end of that week that I would not hear from them....So, I know for a fact, that at least those are on a break...They deserve a break too 😉

I have a friend who got an invite this week. I haven't heard anything since Nov 22 and I'm thinking about doing something drastic like withdrawing all my applications so i can stop sitting here like a schmuck refreshing my email every 2 mins. This is the worst form of torture.
 
I don't know anyone personally who's gotten ANYTHING the past three weeks. But I hear folks on this board getting lots of Adcom love.... *sniff*. And my finals sucked a**, too. I'm just unloved all around. (Except from my hubby). This sucks. I need a BIG martini.
 
Yeah, nothing here either. I guess it's nice to stop getting rejections (I got 6 in a VERY short amount of time), but it'd be nice to get just 1 interview. Oh well. I'm an August MCATer too, so I know that makes a difference. I think after the new year August MCATers are going to hear alot more (for better or worse). Hang in there everyone. When you think your life sucks, just check out my MCAT score again, and you'll feel better! :laugh:

Good to have you around Khenon 😉 . Weren't you on the AAMC MCAT message board? I never really posted there but I think I remember seeing your name there. Smart move coming to SDN. Good luck.

Yeah, I'm on there too, but I've been on here for awhile now. In fact I've replied to several of your posts specifically! Didn't you notice me?! :laugh: And thanks for the luck . . . I need it! Did you see that I've applied to DO schools? I'm really excited about it. I got a letter from a DO too, so I feel more confident about my chances. Anyway, good luck to you too. Take care.

Of course I noticed you before. I was just asking a little bit late I guess - sorry for the confusion.

I disagree. I have a nice little pile of waitlists and rejections to show that AdComs are still working :laugh: :laugh:
 
Nothing since Thanksgiving. Sucks having all my interviews in early November and have to wait until January to hear because of Thanksgiving/Christmas. 🙁
 
More like the last month and a half! I haven't heard anything since Nov 9 - my last interview invite. Although that was a really nice belated birthday present. Come on - someone show me some 😍 ! Maybe next week will be the week for Rush or OSU...or Boston...or Temple....or..... 😉
 
Almost too quiet. 😀

Dammit, McJay, you stole my joke! 😉

But yes, I haven't heard anything at all for 5 weeks now. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the worst, that the good news has already come down the pike. Though my hopefulness just won't go away. That's me, a chronically hopeful person.

I smell an ambush! I don't know what that means, exactly, but I'm calling in air support anyway!
