Got that email and don't even have a II. These guys need to get their ish together.
Got an II yesterday too. LizzyM ~72; there were 2 days available in February.
Thanks! I was complete late August and I didn't have anything worthy to update them about so I didn't send any update letters. I've also been receiving those financial aid letters before my II if any one wants to know.
Congrats to you guys did you update?
how do you know they're pulling from cancellationsII just now!!!! Super excited, pretty much figured I was out for this one!!
Complete 8/14 and I didn't update
Update: Also, they're definitely pulling off from cancellations. So for all you guys waiting, here's to hoping that other people cancel!!

Hey there! I can guarantee you that what I'm saying is not false. So there's no underlying motivation to have to worry about haha! At my own interview day we were all told the same thing as you about the snail mail and the fact that acceptances aren't given out over the phone. That's why I was so surprised when I was contacted about the acceptance yesterday. I also know about the specified decision dates which once again contributed to my surprise. I only asked about the normal process of giving out acceptances because I was wondering if anyone had a story that was similar to mine. I feel blessed that the turnaround was so quick and continue to wish for the very best for each of you as well.and
"Thanks! How have they been sending out acceptances in previous rounds?"
Hm, I'm just throwing out that this seems a bit off to me - at my interview they were extremely, extremely clear that they only send acceptances via snail mail. As in, repeated, it's a point of pride/uniqueness, and clear that they would never tell you anything over the phone to the extreme that if you didn't respond within a few weeks to the mailed acceptance, they would call to check if you'd received anything in the mail but wouldn't confirm or deny whether you were accepted because it was over the phone. Seems strange that you would be called a week after an interview (they also have specified decision dates each month) and not know that they send acceptances by mail. Calling this one false. Which is weird, because I don't understand the motivation.

It's ok. If I were in your shoes I might not even believe me either haha since this is so different from what we were told on interview day. But yes, I did interview and receive an acceptance. Just like you I wouldn't be able to understand it if someone made up being accepted. You can PM if you'd like. Either way I'm hoping that everything works out well for you and everyone else on here.I'm sorry, but I still don't believe you without some other evidence. What you're saying now about already knowing that acceptances are exclusively and markedly sent by mail only just doesn't line up to your earlier question that said, 'Thanks! How have they been sending out acceptances in previous rounds?'. I spent a minute thinking about a question I could ask to verify that you actually went to an interview, but it doesn't seem to be worth the time/effort because ultimately, this is an anonymous message board on the internet and who cares.
Thanks! Have a happy Sunday everyone!All schools make exceptions for highly desirable candidates. Congratulations @fivemoreminutesplease

No I interviewed regular MD. I first received a text message from the office of Dr. Robert Lee, the dean of admissions and when I called him back he told me the news. I've uploaded a screen shot of the text. The capital A is the beginning of ASAP. I didn't take a screenshot of the whole thing because it includes my name. Hopefully the image actually loads.
Thanks! I had the pleasure of meeting him on my interview day. And yep that was the plan. Just wanted to clarify things first for anyone who had questions.A text? Do you have some sort of connection to the dean maybe? Either way, that's pretty cool. Congrats.
Since I think you're the only person who got a text, I'd recommend deleting your post to protect anonymity

Anyone know when you should hope to receive a letter if you were accepted today?
I think they are talking purely hypothetically. To clarify, they were probably asking "if one was accepted, when would one expect the letter to arrive by?"How did you find out you were accepted if you didn't get a letter yet?

DO you know what the portal will look like once updated if accepted?Take this with a handful of salt, but I think accepted students will see a change in their portal tomorrow around noon.
Congratulations!! Do you mind sharing your stats?Thanks! Best of luck to everyone!

Thank you for the congrats! Lizzy M 78-80Congratulations!! Do you mind sharing your stats?
That makes a bit of sense though, because everyone's previous letters says portals should update by noon, but I've realized with med schools...they enjoy torturous uncertaintyTake this with a handful of salt, but I think accepted students will see a change in their portal tomorrow around noon.
