Been waiting to hear back since interviewing in October and this is killing me my dudes.
I combed through last year's thread, and there were actually quite a few people who had a similar situation to us (i.e. interview early/mid October, didn't hear back until mid December), and a lot of them were accepted. So although it's incredibly painful waiting, I guess we can take some comfort in knowing that at least this long wait time doesn't mean we're out of the running.

Well, finally got the axe. Completed mid-july. 4.0gpa / 513 mcat [with a horrible CARS score - like <<< 10th percentile of the school's CARS horrible ]. Good luck to others waiting to hear back and congrats to those who received IIs and acceptances. Me out, literally out :drowning:

Haha thanks! On the East Coast we're stuck with Shake Shack, which is not as good imo

Texas has both ;) and Whataburger!

That we do.... though I tried In n Out here and was thoroughly confused about its popularity. To be fair, it is likely a little different here. At least I hope so...

Shake Shack is actually my favorite out of all three. :oops:

Shake Shack is my favorite too -- but I'm probably biased since I'm originally from the East Coast. The shroom burger is amazing.

Well guys tomorrow is another day for decisions to be released so I've taken the liberty of graphing my overall morale since interviewing nearly two months ago

At least there is a good post interview acceptance rate at this college, Mayo's is like 15% this year lmfao.
 
Come on pre II rejection! My body is ready.
 
Rejected a week ago. LizzyM ~ 82. I applied from as a US undergrad in the American University of Beirut though, not sure how much that factored
