Just received the email.... I was nervous to open it and then I read it and was like.... 1/2 week to go until we hear... ? good luck everyone!!!

Same.. my heart stopped lol. So bummed :(

Lol I had the same response. I saw the MGH header and I was like, "I can't open this". Another half a week. At least we can all relax a little this weekend.

Ooooh my gosh I'm going to go crazy hahaha!  We're clearly all kick-ass people and we're making their decisions too difficult! We can pat ourselves on the back for that! I'll be keeping that in mind if I end up with a waitlist or rejection.

Maybe this is a ridiculous question....but do you guys reply to this email? Maybe "thank you, love you, say it back" ? Anything?

Sooo nervous about that email this morning. Hopefully the next 5 days will fly by! Anyone confirmed if they will be reaching out to us through email or phone about their decision?

I'm betting on email since we haven't had any other contact via phone with them

This is the week!  (well hopefully).   In response to this comment, I don't think expressing gratitude would hurt, but I also do not think it would make or brake a decision, but who knows, I am new to this whole thing :/.  I am grateful that I could relax over the weekend a little, now I am back to checking my email hourly...... oh okay maybe every 30 minutes, don't judge :).

Waitlisted :(

[michajoe 2]

Rejection! Congrats to all the accepted. It sounds like an awesome program.

[winter_trees 12]

Waitlisted. Can anyone who was accepted share the last date to submit the security deposit?

[harden4mvp 73]

I am sincerely sorry that you received a rejection.  Keep your chin up, and keep fighting.  You will get it someday.

[nathanmitchell7467 28]

I apologize for so many posts, I just wanted to add, if the waitlist status changes for anybody, please post about it so the rest of us can stay updated.  

[Jdabrowski 167]

Waitlisted!

ACCEPTED!!! I can't believe it.

Congrats to everyone who got in. I can't wait to meet you all and begin this exciting journey! For all those who got waitlisted/rejected, don't give up. There is still hope for you guys! :)

@winter_trees: the enrollment deposit is due before Wednesday, December 20, 2017

[Member12345 8]

Waitlisted as well. Congrats to the acceptances!

Waitlisted :/ Does anyone know how many people are placed on the waitlist? I know they said in the interview that they don't release the ranking but will go pretty deep into the waitlist. I'm so anxious to see if a spot will open! Congratulations to those accepted!

When you say that they will go pretty deep into the waitlist, do you mean that they have a big waitlist, or that many individuals are typically accepted after being placed on the waitlist?  I am sure that this varies year to year, but does anybody have a general idea?

By the way, CONGRATS to all that have been accepted!!  That is a good day, and I fantasize about the day when I receive an acceptance email.

Still shaking from being accepted!!!!! Tears have been shed. I can’t believe it!! So thankful!! For those that got rejected or waitlisted....there is still hope!!!! Keep on trying!!! You will get there!! Don’t give up!

I am not sure the size of the waitlist but I remember the program director saying that they go far into the waitlist sometimes, meaning many get taken off of the waitlist. I was wondering the size of the waitlist myself.
