I've contemplated starting a new thread called "2015-2016 Oh geez, Is it a Silent Rejection?" thereby listing all of the Allopathic Schools and having people insert the date that they were rejected post-secondary invite. It would at least give people a general idea if a school has even started sending out rejections or if the silence is possibly a silent rejection. I just don't think people would actively participate and the information would be lacking.Is there a list of schools known for silent rejections?
ok now 1 more week till traffic lights turn green. can any re-apps shed some light on when the II's go out again for "less-competitive" ppl like us? Is it around December after the acceptances decisions are made for the top whatever %?
good to know i'm not alone - best of luck throughout the rest of this difficult process!!I am in almost EXACTLY the same position. Non-traditional application with 68-69 LM. Applied to 21 MD schools complete late July-early Sept. No II. No rejections. 2 Holds at GW and Albany as well. whatttt
this is the only thread i have the email notification on haha
we did it guys! we made it into october without a single II

I heard from current medical students that majority of their II's came mid-October. I'm assuming it's because students that get into their top choices start withdrawing their II to other schools, which opens spots for other applicants
I'm grasping at the same straws....hopefully something in the next two weeks....I keep seeing on this forum that many people feel schools are holding off on many of the II's until after the 15th...anyone know how accurate this is or are people just grasping at straws and false hope?
Things you can do while you wait: Infinite.
Things you can do to get a II faster: Nothing.
So why are you waiting? If it's going to come, it will come. Just go enjoy yourselves, work hard, and don't focus on this.
This is kinda a depressing day when you see all the acceptances..and you havent even had an interview yet..just saying..

or the day after that.Still waiting impatiently. Complete at most of my 22 schools for almost two months now. I feel like one II would lift such a burden off my shoulders and make me much more optimistic. Oh well, maybe tomorrow...
or the day after that.
You mean next week. Adcoms don't work weekends. So two days of anguish waiting for next week...just so you can have another 5 days of anguish hoping for an II until the weekend comes around again. Repeat this cycle for a year.
Oh dayum, is this purgatory?
Not sure if this will be consoling or neurosis inducing, but i know that several schools do indeed send out IIs on the weekends, just from reading the various school specific threads. The only one coming to mind is Pittsburgh, but i'm pretty sure other schools have as well. Maybe GT too?You mean next week. Adcoms don't work weekends.

yesOh dayum, is this purgatory?
Im thinking December.So was there ever any consensus regarding when no news silently becomes bad news...
Easier said than done
Been doing it for 2.5 months. If you look back to when this thread I was constantly here freaking out. Until I learned to move on.
