To those that have been accepted - Are snail mail acceptances mailed out on the actual acceptance dates or before the acceptance dates?

Edit: Mine was stamped on the acceptance day, which was 4 days before the portal update. I waited 4-5 days after the portal update to receive the snail mail.

If I want to submit a second update through the website, should I erase all the information in the box from my previous update or keep it there?
 
Just got an II for here - never in a million years would I have dreamed of even getting one let alone turning it down but I can't justify more interviews after UWash acceptance (IS tuition) - hoping it goes to someone else who wouldn't have expected it at all

I definitely didn't think I would ever be here after last years cycle - but you will get here too (and it won't take you two cycles) and you will feel amazing- you deserve it

Congrats!! Mind sharing when you were complete?

But I think I made up for it with strong ECs+strong research+MCAT, but if things were based on GPA alone I shouldn't have even applied MD at all

Did they give you an interview date? Or did you see what date were available before withdrawing??

Congratulations, mind sharing how high is your MCAT score?
 
Thanks! Complete on November 8, Stats: also high MCAT and lower GPA
Congrats! Does anyone know if they send out all II's at the same time on a one day? Hoping for one but I was complete very early :(

I hope so. I was also complete very early and haven't heard anything. Weird silence here, I grew up in the area and I loved Emory since high school

In the same boat over here!

Accepted, I think?
it says "(The following offer is valid for applicants who have received an official acceptance letter in the mail.)"
does that mean i should wait for the mail before accepting the offer?

Well I'm at work so I can't leave home to check if the letter is in the mail, but I'll update my post once I receive the official letter.

I saw an email from Emory from their financial aid office with the word "admission" in it. I thought to myself "omg did I get accepted to Emory? They're asking me for financial aid and I think I just got a congrats on your application for admission!"

Then I remembered I never ****ing interviewed at Emory. This is why my ******* didn't get an II in the first place.

I'm going to bed.
