[trudub]

What non-rolling schools is everyone waiting to hear from? When do they start sending out letters?

Penn..........I think we'll hear back in early March <i hope>

 

[oldtimer]

Duke.

 

[trudub]

when did you interview at Duke?

 

[DrJ2B]

UPenn!

Also, Yale after I interview there tomorrow!

Does anyone know when Duke will be sending out decisions? Is it the first week of March?

I'm also waiting on Duke!

If I remember correctly, Duke is sending out one round of notifications mid-March and another round in late March. They said it's logistically too difficult to send out all the letters at once.

When I called Duke a few days back, they said "first week of March" and when I called 1 month and a half ago, they said specifically March 6th. I don't know if the information I got was from someone not in the know, so I hope this helps ;-) Also, decisions will _not_ appear on the status page is what I was told.

That's what Dr. Armstrong said. You don't have to wait by the mailbox because supposedly Duke calls you first if you've been accepted.

Yale.

Columbia.

Northwestern. (well, they have two admission dates, one in Nov. and one in Feb.)

Really? So I just need to wait by the phone instead.

Oldtimer - if you get in, are you going there?

I'm fairly certain Penn's decision can be seen online on the status page. Not sure how soon they'll post it tho, ie before or after the letter is sent. Far and above they're my #1 choice ;-)

Let's make this a thread all its own!

Duke is a great school. Little turned off by the 1 year basic sciences, but the students there seem to think it's a great idea. Besides, most students there don't take their step 1 until end of third year! Having that basic sciences knowledge, 1 year of clinical experience, and delaying step 1 by a year gives Duke students a very unfair advantage over other medical students across the country IMHO. But hey, you have to work with what you're given, right? I could go on and on. So, yes, I probably would go there if accepted. I know you applied there also and I hope that you get in!

I thought Penn emailed with a link to the status page once final decisions were posted.
