If I had to guess, I would say Monday will not be the day. It's a holiday (Martin Luther King Day) and many places are closed.I've been checking my email and status page all day just in case they sent out invites early. Hopefully Monday is the day! Good luck everyone!
The veterinary school's calendar didn't say they were closed, but the academic calendar for Virginia Tech said university offices are closed.If I had to guess, I would say Monday will not be the day. It's a holiday (Martin Luther King Day) and many places are closed.
Hopefully Tuesday then. The wait is killing me!Yah, sorry, we don't have class tomorrow, but we do Tuesday!If I had to guess, I would say Monday will not be the day. It's a holiday (Martin Luther King Day) and many places are closed.

I spoke with Joyce and yes they require more information for my MD residency as well. And she explained to me that in state/oos does not matter when getting an interview...its after the interview that you will be placed in or out of state and then ranked and then accepted or waitlisted off of that. So yes, it matters in the end but not in getting an interview...she stated that she needed my documentation by the beginning of February because that is when the confirmation of residency begins. hope this helps
This surprises me. Obviously there are a lot more OOS applicants as compared to IS, so how would they make sure they were interviewing enough ISers to fill the class? When I applied and interviewed 3 years ago (before the interview change), they told me that they interviewed 80 marylanders for 40 spots (or 60 for 30...can't remember exact numbers). If ISers are competing for interviews with OOSers, then I'm not feeling so hopeful
Good luck this week everyone!
Ugh so annoying . So my other question is what documentation is needed because i called and emailed her about what type of documents she needed and the only answer i got was please provide all necessary documentation for this claim of instate residency . i surely hope that this means we got interviews if they are requiring us to do this....cause ill be honest im gonna be annoyed if i did all of this for a rejection or a waitlist !I have no idea! I was not even aware that I needed to confirm/send in other things for my residency until joining this forum and seeing that people were talking about "confirming"...I was told by the residency office that because I work for The University of Maryland I am considered a resident...I found out last week from the veterinary school that this is not the case for veterinary school admission selection....so in short, I have no idea. I was totally freaking out on the phone with Joyce but she assured me that my documents proving residency were not going to affect me getting an interview...I chose to take that as a good sign...or that just means she alreadys knows I am not getting one...but then why would she need my other information???...see, you can flip flop it either way!!!! daaahh!! :::runs in circle::::

Yeah...my situation is that i finished grad school and stayed in new Orleans but never changed my residency and still moved back to Va so they are questioning it even though i have lived in va for the past 2 years with a brief 5 month absence which was still well before the 12 month matriculation. i was a md resident for the other 23 years of my life so i was just really freaked out when i got the email.

We got this.I seriously need to stop checking my email, I'm going to lose it and it's the first day back in classes! Telling us that we're going to hear back beginning of this week has convinced me we're going to hear today... even though this may not actually be true haha. Deep breaths.

OMG me too...I get my emails to my phone...which I am checking like every 4.3 seconds...at work...my boss knows what I am waiting on though so I am sure he totally understands ::::checks phone again:::: No, nothing...
Second, has anything changed on your status page?
Ditto! Freaking out a little over here. My friend (IS - MD) also got her invitation, but I haven't received anything yet (IS - VA). My last name begins with "S", so hoping it is just the alphabetical curse...?!
For those of you who received invitations, first of all, CONGRATS!!!
I believe this is similar to how Texas A&M did their interviews (if perhaps that thread could have some insight into the interview) kind of like "speed dating"?
Will they be sending rejections through email, or will it be dreaded snail mail....
I am super bummed about not receiving an invite today... I thought my IS school would actually take a look at me
I have a friend with the last name "S" who got an invite today. I haven't got one yet, so hopefully they are still going to send more out. :/Ditto! Freaking out a little over here.

If you guys check the below linked thread, there were definitely multiple days invitations went out via last year, so you never know! I also haven't heard yet, either

I have two friends who got invites today and had the later invite day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for more invites.
Thanks for checking!
Last year was their first year using this interview format (multiple minis). You might find more info by searching the forum for MMI or looking at last year's VMRCVM threads.
There goes my theory. Damn!
You're right, it does look that way. I was OOS last year and was on their waitlist for interviews. Never got one, but I do know that it exists and could be a reasonable explanation for those later interview dates.
