So...I sent them an update letter late last week, and they sent me a personalized response congratulating on my update (it was a published abstract) and stated that my application is currently under review. They specifically wrote : "The review process is ongoing from August through December and we hope to have more information regarding your status in the coming weeks." Personally, I'm not super hopeful, but let's not lose hope!!

Does anyone know when people who interviewed earlier this cycle can expect to hear back? I was told mid-December, but I'm not sure what exactly that means.

Usually the week of Christmas according to old threads. So probably next week or 2 weeks from now.

My notes said we'd hear back in december or february. Apparently they rarely reject anyone post interview so we'll probably get an acceptance or a waitlist sometime soon.

So.... Looking back on this thread 2 years ago, seems like some interviews were extended around this time and that was it for the cycle. However last year's thread had no interviews extended from December on. Just wondering what people's thoughts are of the likelihood of any more interviews being extended.

Maybe we will get some good news next week! Seems like their first round of acceptances is usually the week before Christmas. :)

Did anyone here interview early November and recall whether they said we would hear back in December or February?

I think it's just no one really knows. They might send out some still if people withdraw from their interview which could open up some spots. Since a decent amount of schools respond throughout December this could happen with people who get into their top choice and no longer want to interview here. Just some possibilities...

Do we think they'll start calling with decisions Friday?

If they don't then that might mean we'll have to wait until after the new years (I hope not) since I doubt they'll call over the weekend or on Christmas eve
 
These campus news updates from schools are killing me...

But, the email said their office is closed from Dec 21st to Jan 2nd. So hopefully some good news this week

To the people who have been accepted so far—does your portal still say "under review" or is the "decision" tab now available?
