It's Malawi - not Somalia. We don't want to be kidnapped LOL.
Haha that's what I get for trying to help without fact checking. I think I wrote Somalia because I recently read an article about the famines there. Glad you caught this!

Just got my interview invite this morning for 8/18. Yay!
I'm excited to go, everyone seems to have such a great impression of TCOM.
Not looking forward to driving though, lol.
Starting to get a little discouraged. I know it's early but I'm staring to lose hope. I wish I could just stop checking my email for a week and come back to find 2 or even 1 interview invite.
To those who interviewed; how many were there on interview day? I heard that they interview like 10 people per session. Is this true?

So TCOM has had my application and secondary for like a month now... but they finally just verified my committee LOR. I hope I get an interview invite within the next few days!!!!!! Wish me luck. Man I hope I can an email soon....
Got the call from Caroline I received an interview invite for 8/25...first post
Caroline just called inviting me to an interview!! She wasn't too happy that I didn't accept the first date she gave me. Hopefully, her disappointment isn't a sign of things to come.
Dang this is starting to worry me... they've had my primary, DO LOR, and secondary for like a month now. They just got my committee LOR like a couple days ago, but I was hoping I'd get a call like many of ya'll have been getting today. I didn't know they called on weekends!! Does Caroline call Sundays as well?
Wish me luck that I get a call guys. And good luck to all the people who have interviews coming up!
Good luck, and hang in there. The office hours here are M-F 8-5, so I doubt Caroline works Sundays. As far as I know, the only people who work Sundays are med and grad students.
NYSW, can I ask if you applied via the Early Decision Program or not? Congrats!
So I've been constantly refreshing my portal page to see if I have any "YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED FOR AN INTERVIEW!! CONGRATS!" message, since it looks like some people have gotten this message on their portal before the phone call. So far no luck... I've only been "officially" complete since last Thursday/Friday... but so many of ya'll had gotten an invite literally 2-3 days after you became complete. I'm so nervous!!!
Sorry for the rant... just had to vent. lol.
I am waiting for a call too... But I was complete 7-8-11
I have since learned to not take it personally and limit my the number of times I check SDN, E-mail and phone. Anyway, I would worry too much, they apparently call on Saturday too.
Well guys I was looking for an answer and boy did I get one...

As embarrassing as this is, I felt the need to share. Good luck to everyone

i just got an invite today! I'm ecstatic!
Yes, I stayed there for the recruitment thingy. Friendly receptionist. Mention you're visiting TCOM for a discount rate at $89.99I stayed at the Fairfield Inn (<10 minute drive) which was fairly nice. They had a decent breakfast and the beds were very comfortable. They had a TCOM rate and it was about $100 with taxes.
Hey guys,
I have a question... so it's been a week and still no invite (I'm okay with this... since I'm starting to realize it takes more than a week for an invite, lol). I think the fact that people were getting invites in 2 days from their completion made me nervous!!
But here's a serious question. TCOM sends an email when they get your application, correct? This email has all the portal login information, and it also confirms that they did indeed receive your application. I'm a reapplicant, and I never got this email this cycle. I fortunately had my email from last cycle saved, and used that login for my portal. My status for Fall 2012 is "complete" (green circle), but I'm finding it strange that I never received a confirmation email. Is this a cause for concern?
Thanks for your help, and congrats to all those who have/had interviews!
