How do you guys feel about oct 15th being on a Saturday? Do you think most schools will wait till Monday to release decisions?

Sorry to ask such a trivial question!

Our good friend and mildly cranky advisor @gonnif has confirmed that the AAMC rules specifically say to wait until Monday if the 15th is a weekend.

I was just informed by an admissions director that

"... AAMC issued email instructions to MD programs yesterday that the accepted release date for acceptances is indeed October 17. The norm is always to move to the Monday for any of the deadlines that fall on a weekend "

PS Here is the Official AAMC response to all admissions directors

Dear colleagues,

Please note that since October 15th falls on a Saturday this year, admission offers should not be made until Monday, October 17th.

Thanks to those who emailed me to clarify the protocol.

Ahh thank you very much! At least I can enjoy my Saturday now without my neurotic phone checking 🙂

I wonder if any schools will screw up and send them out on Saturday.

I'll probably give all of my portals a quick glance just in case 😉

So if you want a change, vote for me in the upcoming SDN presidential election. I am gonna make medical school admissions great again!

There's an SDN presidential election? Didn't know. Count me in and thus your rival. See you in the debates! 😀

If they do, they will be noted in violation as the director of admissions services sent a bulletin to all medical schools on this ruling. Its little crap like this that gets medical schools "dinged" in LCME reviews

I'm certainly not going to tell on them 😛

I know some people who received phone calls (from their interviewers) on the 14th. I guess this isn't an "official" notification, and so they're allowed to do this?

I feel like October 15th falling on a Saturday is nothing that I can affect.

And that why I grab cats whenever I can. Cats love me; I am like a Cat Magnet. But of course this is just litter box talk

OMG! Classic!
