Dear Applicants,
Congratulations to those of you with a number of interviews and acceptances. We know it has been a long season of traveling for those of you with many interviews and a long season of waiting for those of you with few interviews. We hope everyone enjoys the break from this process that the holidays will bring.
1) Few interviews. If you have zero, one, or two interviews, then please get in touch with OCS and with your House, if you have not already done so. Please refer to earlier posts for instructions on updates.
2) Spam folders. Please continue to diligently check your spam folders. Do not let an interview invitation languish there.
3) The holidays. Very little if anything will happen at medical schools between December 23rd and January 3rd. We hope you can enjoy the break in the action or the worry a bit, but please continue to check your email daily.
4) Traffic rules and withdrawing from medical schools. Please refer to earlier posts for a more thorough discussion of this topic, but this is just to remind you that when you get an acceptance, it is appropriate at that point to withdraw from any school that you would not attend given this new information. Many of you may need and want to hold multiple offers until April 30th as you wait for financial aid offers. If financial aid would not be the deciding factor between a school where you have been accepted and another school, however, then please withdraw from schools you would no longer consider and open up spots for others. After April 30th you must be holding only one acceptance. You are allowed to remain on multiple wait lists after that point. Please let us know if you have questions about this.
Our office will be closed from December 23rd to January 2 and we will not be accessing email. We will get back to you after the holidays.
With all best wishes,
Ellen, Oona, and Emiko
