For those of you who have already been through one application cycle, did you receive most of your rejections on Dec. 1st. Do schools send out rejections after Dec. 1st? It seems to me that if they were going to reject they would get it over on Dec. 1, if you were good enough to get past that date, I would assume they would just keep you on a waiting list. Furthermore, did a lot of schools just leave you hanging, meaning never gave you a decision as to accepted or rejected, or do most schools accept or reject you sometime? Thanks, hope that made sense.
 
My experience:

If you have been interviewed:
you are put on the waitlist or sent a rejection letter sometime after Dec 1st

If you have not been interviewed:
you can receive rejection letters as early as September or as late as May😡
