Rejections will always come first. I feel you. My interview haul has been meager at best; just hang tight. I keep trying to follow the wise words of the warriors here who seem to be coping better🙂

Is this true? Does anyone have any other info on the prevalence of this happening? Not that I doubt it, by any means, but I feel like perhaps I am an anomaly. Why? Because my first three points of contact were invitations, but I see others posting about invitations from places I applied to, but haven't heard from.

I am going to spring grove as well!! Which day are you going? Mine is 12/4
 
Does anyone know for sure if UCLA (Semel) is sending out invites per track? It sure seems that way given past posts...but that could just be my wishful thinking!

Congrats!!!! Hoping and praying and crossing all body parts for this one!
 
Just want to say congrats on the invites and sorry for any rejections today!

But mostly, I want to say how much I appreciate this whole thread and everyone who is part of it - commiserating together, celebrating together, laughing at how chaotic this process is together. I'm sure it helps we're mostly anonymous, but it's so helpful knowing there's a group of e-friends here supporting one another 🙂
 
Has anyone else heard either way back from University of Washington School of Medicine - Child Track? It looks like the adult track had a mass email but the child track may have had personalized emails?? Holding out hope still!!!
 
Finally I heard something... and a good something!
