Like most people on these threads, I typically didn't spend more than a day on a secondary before submitting it back to a school. I received my last secondary on 7/20 and was marked complete on 7/21.
 
Lol is there any hope to get II here if you have a LM of 76? Seems like all the people getting interviews here rn have LM of like 78+

Yes, I completely understand! I feel a bit like an imposter, but I'm trying to overcome that feeling haha. Remember, median means 50% of people have stats lower than the accepted median stats!

SAME haha I had basically ruled it out! So YES guys there is definitely a chance! They are most likely stratifying or different screeners have different rates they are going through the applications.

Did anyone get the diversity email encouraging them to apply/waiving the secondary fee? I'm really grateful, the only problem is I already applied so I'm not sure what to do

Any recent IIs? And does anyone know if they send Rs early, or tend to wait a while?

Seriously! Got the strongest vibe that they really really care about the students, and this is just further proof of it. 🥰

Yup, yup. Ditto ditto. Not just this gift packet, but having current M4 students reach out prior to the interview to see if they could answer any questions, the total vibe of the interviews (just so welcoming and enthusiastic)...could not have done anything more to make one feel more cared about.
