What does the month of April mean for us?

According to the AAMC:

AAMC Policies Regarding the Collection, Use, and Dissemination of Medical Student and
Applicant Data (available at

https://www.aamc.org/students/applying/amcas/amcasresources/60768/amcas_datacollection.html)

This statement describes specific uses of personal information as it pertains to AMCAS
applicants and medical students. The AAMC disseminates application information to medical
schools to which you have applied. The AAMC also shares acceptance information across
schools in order to assist medical schools’s adherence to AAMC recommendations. This
acceptance data is shared as follows:

a) Beginning in February of each year, a medical school that has accepted an applicant can
view the other school or schools that have accepted the applicant, if applicable.
b) Beginning in April of each year, a medical school can view the school or schools that
have accepted an applicant, even if that applicant has not yet been accepted by the
medical school.

I know that at this point, schools can see where we got accepted to. But what does that bolded statement mean? Does it mean that the schools that accepted us now see...

a) all the schools we interviewed at but haven't yet heard from (e.g. post-interview holds/silence)
b) all the schools we interviewed at but that waitlisted us
c) all schools that haven't rejected us yet (including pre-interview crickets)
d) all the schools we applied to

Their vague wording creates an unseemly conundrum. 😕

Thanks for any input.

None of the above. It means that all of the schools you applied to can see where you've been accepted.

yea to echo the above poster, none of the above. Accepted=accepted=accepted.

Parsimony! Of course!

Haha, thanks, guys. 😀
