That's the only Meet and Greet I have gotten without an interview attached to it. Maybe they are trying to see how much interest there is in their program.

Do you guys know if most programs send you a rejection email or most just won’t send you an interview invitation ?

In speaking with one of our first year CT fellows, it sounds it's a mix. Some would send rejections once all their spots were filled and some just ghosted.
