UCI if you're not going to interview me just reject me already. Last time I survived all the R waves until Feb and then got rejected. Was I ever under consideration or are you just stringing me along again🙁

II 11/09. However, the only available date was 4/03. Seems incredibly late. Does anyone have insight on why they are interviewing so late into the season?
Does this mean that the cycle is essentially over if they're interviewing into April already?II 11/09. However, the only available date was 4/03. Seems incredibly late. Does anyone have insight on why they are interviewing so late into the season?
I'm guessing so :/ they do accept people from later interviews still though! UCI is so competitive lol.Does this mean that the cycle is essentially over if they're interviewing into April already?
Same thing happened to me. I got an II last month and the earliest I could schedule was February.II 11/09. However, the only available date was 4/03. Seems incredibly late. Does anyone have insight on why they are interviewing so late into the season?

Yeah a little frustrating. I suspect these are interviews for waitlist spots....Same here and idk how to feel about it
oh well. I wonder if it's worth it to ask for an earlier interview (a little delusional)
