Update did receive a call this morning from Dean she said she manually updated accepted students last night. Your portal should change and your should receive an actual “Your accepted congratulations” email.

I'm just hoping they actually keep their word...seems from last year's thread that they had people waiting past the date they promised :/
I just don’t get what’s difficult to send 60 acceptances at once. So far we have 3 on here

It seems like the admin manually adjusts each applicant status or smth? Based off that phone call anyway lol

I’m hoping (coping) that there’s no real difference and they just sent out a few early… somehow…
Their website still says decisions are coming out 2/15 but I did find this:

Acceptance Decision
The selection process is guided by the AAMC’s principles of holistic review which incorporate a method of assessing an applicant’s qualifications by which balanced consideration is given to the collective preparatory experiences, personal attributes, and academic metrics of each candidate. The Admissions Committee will meet to review the admission files of each interviewed applicant. At the committee meeting, the applicant's file will be presented and reviewed by the entire committee. Each committee
member will vote on each candidate whether to approve or not approve a candidate. Following the
vote, the director of MS recruitment, admissions, and retention prepares a spreadsheet of the results of each candidate presented at the meeting and forwards it to the Admissions Committee chair for review and approval.

Offers of Admission
The director of MS recruitment, admissions, and retention prepares the offer letters based on the order an applicant appears on the voting spreadsheet tally on the approved committee list.
The chair or vice chair of the Admissions Committee will sign all admission letters. Included with the admission letters, students will receive a packet of acceptance materials which include information on health and disability insurance, financial aid, health clearance, housing, and next steps to enrollment as well as the MD Program Technical Standards. All final decisions on an applicant’s status will be sent via email to the
address she or he provided on the AMCAS file.
Those who do not receive an initial letter of offer will be placed on a waitlist based on his/her rank order number. Offers will be made from this waitlist based on rank order number to fill positions that become vacant when an applicant declines admission. Applicants who are not placed on the waitlist will receive a letter stating they were not accepted into the MD Program. The director recruitment, admissions, and retention; chair; and vice chair are charged by the Admissions Committee to use the waitlist to fill spots as they become vacant.

Do we get a notification for being on the waitlist? Or if you don't hear anything today that means waitlist? This process is so darn unpredictable and I wish we would hear answers in a consistent manner D:
