Does any one have any idea when this report will be available to schools this cycle? I know it's sometime in February.

tomorrow.

 

[DesertTortoise]

Thank you!

Is this even useful to schools this early?

You bet.

You bet.

Can you elaborate? Is this used primarily to determine the size of the WL? Like if historically people accepted to X medical school choose to withdraw from Y medical school.

If most of our candidates are holding nowhere better, we had better slow our jets on acceptances.
If they are all holding at top 5's, there is more room for acceptances.
It's a calibration tool.

AAMC says that schools that haven't taken an action on you/have rejected you won't see this, but will WL schools see where you are currently holding?

At this point only schools that have accepted you will see where you are holding an acceptance.
WL candidates will show acceptances next month.

Does holding multiple acceptances also play into scholarship consideration?

Sometimes.

do schools wait until the report comes out to make decisions on recent interviews?

Shot-in-the-dark guess here: but most likely.

They can probably use that data and figure out how many they'll likely lose to other schools.

Does having an acceptance at a lower tiered school lower your chances of coming off of a wait List at a higher tiered school?

 

[FeinMS]

Schools can't see the report unless they already accepted you (or waitlisted later on). So until they've made a decision on your application, they wouldn't see the report, and therefore couldn't factor your other acceptances into the decision.

I think what he means is: because schools know the multiple acceptance status of their accepted students, they might accept more people in order to account for those students who got into high tier schools. His question is whether this will "accepting more people" will extend to "interviewing more people"

 

[FutureOncologist]

Do schools have a rather low base-line of offered acceptances before the report? E.g. if you have a maximum of 150 students per class, do you go over/under that number before the report?

I'm not sure; I interpreted it as if he had already been interviewed, and wants to know whether the committee is waiting to see how others faired in multiple acceptances to determine whether he would be waitlisted/accepted/rejected. I didn't interpret it as him asking if more interviews would be extended.

Oops, now that I've read over it again, you guys sound more correct. The misunderstanding was probably because I was curious whether they will invite more people for interview based on the report. lol

No worries. And by this time, I would say that most schools have interviewed enough applicants to fill the seats leftover after withdrawals. They will begin pulling from waitlists, and a greater number of recently-interviewed candidates may receive seat offers. However, certainly, some schools are still giving II's (albeit few schools, and few invitations).
