Hi, I also applied this cycle! I know they schedule interviews "between May and June" so I'm getting a little anxious because I haven't heard back at all. Have you heard anything back yet?

Hey, I got my rejection email on May 13. Below is the content of the email. I hope it helps.
You should contact them for an update on your application status. Keep me updated if you don't mind.
