This year’s applicants used Caspa to apply unless there is another portal that I am unaware of. I was under the impression we receive an email and then a letter by mail to confirm.

W323057 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yea we only used CASPA. I think notifications will be through email, all the other communication that was received was through emails. I liked interviewing with this program, it was definitely a positive experience. It showed that the instructors and the students here have character and are comfortable with what they do. At least that's the impressions I got. I wish everyone the best of luck and crossing my fingers for us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one complaint is that I loved it so much that I am really wasting time clicking the refresh button on my email, waiting for a resonse. I have heard that they are going to try and let us know before thanksgiving, but if anybody hears anything please PLEASE keep us all updated. I am sure that I am not the only one that is dying to know. It was super fun to meet a lot of you all by the way. Everybody that I met seemed amazing. I hope to get the chance to meet more of you in the future. I will keep you all updated as soon as I hear something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harden4mvp Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I thought I heard Professor Walker say we would hear back within 2 weeks max? So it'll definitely be before Thanksgiving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will then need to login to your account that you used to apply to the school. That’s where he actual decision will be posted. So if you don’t remember your password you should reset it now and write it down. This is also what I was told by our tour guide. @kbianchi and @W323057 There was an email sent out by Brian Witham asking you to update your contact information, that is the portal we're talking about. @nathanmitchell7467 I can't stop checking either ! I truly loved it so much, this program gives me the warm fuzzies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W323057 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Interesting, I never did anything through a portal with the program. Vtanguay, do you have the link to the portal? I'm glad I'm not the only one constantly checking my email for news. Everyone I met on my interview day seemed really awesome. I also heard that we would hear back in a couple weeks. Maybe we will hear something this week. There goes the nerves again haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad you said that because I don’t remember getting an email that had me update my profile on any portal, so if somebody does have a link to that, that would be awesome. It sounds like I am not the only one who was confused by that, I will keep my eye on my email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harden4mvp Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I applied to MGH last year and they used a portal for everything, including whether or not you got an interview invite or not. This year it has all transferred to email, including our invites, and I assume the admissions decisions will be sent the same way. I will call to clarify and I'll let everyone know...

cmfpdx Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Those who have access to the link or portal are you reapplicants @Vtanguay? I have a feeling maybe the 1st time applicants are only using the e-mail notification process since we were never given a link to a portal. I checked my email and the one from Bryan Witham only suggested I contact admissions with questions but no link was provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winter_trees Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hey everyone, I am a reapplicant and wanted to clarify that the link/portal was the format for last year. I did not receive an e-mail with portal information when I reapplied this year. I have the old e-mail containing the link from last year and it does not work anymore, so I think we can assume that they will e-mail/call us with the decisions this year. TL;DR: Good luck, and don't stress out if you didn't get an e-mail this year with the link, because I'm pretty sure no one did! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W323057 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Ah ok. Phew that's one less thing to stress about. I thank you for clearing that up. I checked all the emails I received from the school and nothing was there related to a portal. Just like @cmfpdx stated the emails I received said to contact the program via email or phone if there were any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harden4mvp Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 So I asked if there was portal or any other additional site that we'd need to login to, and Lauren replied to my email with: You won’t have access to anything until final decisions are made. We do expect decisions to be made by the end of the day on Friday. ... so I am not sure if this means we are supposed to have a login or not since she didn't really directly answer? Idk!

She makes it sound like they will send out all the decisions at once on Friday. That definitely helps ease my anxiety and obsessive compulsive email checking (at least until Friday)! Good luck guys!

You would think knowing the date that a decision will be announced would ease this nervousness...... nope, resting heart rate still feels like it’s going 120.

foreverPA Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Anyone feeling like they’ve been replaying interview day over and over in their head?! And feeling super anxious just waiting?!

modernlily16 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 SOO nerve racking! i wonder if you need both interviewers to say "yes" to you in order to get accepted... i connected really well with one of them, but felt this was due to her cheery and outgoing personality. the other interviewer was more to the point and straight and I felt nervous coming out of that one..
