has anyone's portal updated today?
Anyone interview before Feb whose portal updated today?
Huge bummer that they accept so few this last round Waitlist movement is not too great from what I've heard, right?Alternate status maybe for people who interviewed before Feb.
A new tab titled Admissions Offer comes upI interviewed 2/18...no change in the portal (do yall mind if I ask what it would say exactly in the 'status' tab if you received an acceptance?)
Gotcha. Appreciate it. Does anyone know: if someone else who interviewed on 2/18 already recieved an acceptance earlier this morning, is it a clear sign that those who dont have that tab yet did not recieve an offer? Is it just one large 'full interview day' release at a time? Or is it more of a 'rolling' portal change?A new tab titled Admissions Offer comes up

Not sure if anyone would have any insight on that haha, but would appreciate any thoughts
Got it. Appreciate the help! Congratulations to everyone who got in and best of luck to those still waitingFrom my experience, this is the third wave of admisision that I've been waiting for, they all seem to be released at once. I think it's a clear sign that we're either rejected or will offered alternate status.
I interviewed in December and just got a portal update,Anyone interview before Feb whose portal updated today?
I interviewed in December and just got a portal update,
Oh my! Not sure if it matters but I saw it this morning. I did get an email from minority affairs last week so I already knew I was accepted this batch.Congrats!!!
Did you just get it or you just saw it?
CONGRATS!! Just now? Are the portal updates all at once, I'm dying.Interviewed 2/8 and got accepted! I'm actually in shock that I got in, to be honest. Found out via portal.
I don't know specifically when the portal updated, but yes, I just saw it in the last 30 minutes! Thank you!! I hope for your sake they're not all at once...CONGRATS!! Just now? Are the portal updates all at once, I'm dying.
+1Just got alternate status email
I have the same question. Is there anyone who interviewed and didn't get alternate status?Is everyone who interviewed and wasn’t selected automatically put on alternate status?
I thought the doc said acceted alternates will hear back immediately via phone or email.Is it true that alternate status will only hear back in June? That's in the "alternate list FAQ" document. That seems awfully late...
That's what i would expect. But in the FAQ about alternate status document, it says this:"I thought the doc said acceted alternates will hear back immediately via phone or email.

When will Emory begin accepting Alternates?
We do not know. Every year is different, but we usually begin accepting Alternates sometime in June. We will not be able to accept any Alternates until we have an opening in the first-year class.
"
So far it looks like everyone who's not accepted but interviewed gets alternate status...feels badI have the same question. Is there anyone who interviewed and didn't get alternate status?
yes same I've been on pending forever and also cancelled and requested again. NadaAnybody else having a hard time getting accepted into the Facebook group for some reason? I’ve canceled and re-sent my request three times now.

Alternate also. Of course, they want ANOTHER essay. As if all the essays we have already written don't give them enough of an indication of our interest in the school. Ridiculous.
Yeah lmao. I answered "Why medicine?" in my primary AMCAS application. I answered "Why Emory?" in the secondary essay. I answered "Why medicine?" again in the group interview. I answered "Why Emory?" again in the individual interview.
Now somehow they still want more information

One of my mentors went to Emory med in the 80s and told me that there was someone in his class who was initially rejected post-interview by the admissions committee, but responded to their rejection letter with a longer letter explaining why he should have been accepted. The committee actually changed their initial decision and offered him a spot. It's obviously not the 80s anymore, but from what I know about Emory they just want to see that you want to go to Emory so badly that you'd write a 1000 word essay on the slimmest chance you'd be accepted. I'm a lowly student and don't really ever fully know what I'm talking about in giving any kind of advice, but I think they might argue that it would translate to dedication to patients at Grady (e.g. would you do hours of work for a patient when you're already emotionally exhausted & frustrated on the 5% chance it would help them). It seems kinda mean to me (getting your hopes up and gushing about something that might not happen isn't fun - I'm on two waitlists at schools I absolutely loved myself ) but that's probably where they're coming from in asking for the essay. Best of luck and I hope you get offered a spot if you still want it!
