Silent Squad Wya?

[Piglet2020]

Applied to 25 schools, 2 II, 1 reject, and rest silence.
Complete 7/31-8/3

Not in panic mode, just want to see how everyone is holding up in the radio silence.

I don't... think that's... what silent squad means

Lol what is the official definition then?

 

[CoffeeintheMorning]

I'm assuming silent squad means completed apps with no rejections, no IIs

 

[CloverBale]

How can you be a part of the silent squad if you have 2 IIs?

 

[Piglet2020]

Ok I'll modify that and say "silent from 20+ schools so far" if we want to be technical.

Lol

I'd assume silent means silent. No II or anything

2/25 odds not looking good for me though. People are getting 6-15 invites left and right 😱

Lmao you have no idea what true silence is. Get back to us when you've gone through a failed cycle.

No they aren't. Most people who interview only get 1-3, with many just getting 1.

Most applicants will be rejected by almost all of the schools they apply to. It's like that every year.

Amen.

Wow. I've seen some blatant humblebrags before, but this one makes me feel particularly queasy because I know how it feels to actually have heard nothing. Keep fighting the good fight, everyone. It's still only September!

Adcom at VCU said they JUST started going through the early August applications. And they started reviewing on the early side compared to most other schools. On top of that, they also have a screen for who gets their secondaries.

Wait what? I've been complete since end of July and haven't had any status changes from VCU.

You're not going to make it.

Don't worry! I didn't receive anything from them either, but I think it is more because I didn't apply there xD.

On a more serious note, the applications are NOT processed in a temporal order. So no news doesn't equal to bad news.

According to their adcom, they are lol. But it's not super linear.
