Yeah, I got the same. Screw them for their "gauging." I was actually pretty seriously considering attending. I was really surprised that they sent out flat out rejections rather than just waitlisting...but maybe that means that I was really that bad. I didn't think the interviews went too poorly, there was just the guy that I realized reviewed one of my PI's R01's and tried to tell me that we weren't the first to be doing what we were doing because he had read this one grant (most likely ours) a couple of years ago...anyway, a little bitter, but mostly jealous. I'm trying to believe in fate right now.
