Are Interview Invites real?

[send_help]

I have never received an interview invite. I have never seen anyone else’s interview invite email or a screenshot of one. I am forced to believe in the idea of the interview invite because I see it discussed here but I refuse to believe in the existence of the thing itself until I see one for myself.

This made me chuckle because I also had curiosity about what interview invites looked like before I received one.

In my case, it was a simple email from the admissions committee saying that they would like to interview me and asking if I was available at a specific date/time. I replied via email, and that was that

why are people disliking this lol, it obviously wasn't serious.

I have had applicants (and irate parents) seriously ask me this. They cannot possibly believe the statistics on total applications (roughly a 1,000,000) versus interview invites (roughly 150,000).

this confused me very much until i realized total applications is multiplied by people times number of apps.

Apply Carib to see that II's are real

Two atoms walk into a bar,
One tells the other "Oh my gosh, I think I have lost an electron"
"Are you sure "
"yes I am positive!"

You prove my point!!!!

I feel this way about acceptance letters. What do they even look like? What exactly does it say? I need a screenshot of one so I can keep the faith.

actually the opposite, rejection letters can be much more elusive. As I oft repeated, everyone starts as "not-accepted." Therefore there is no reason for a medical school to inform you of such status since you started as such. Many schools never send rejection letters

Can confirm, my first cycle I think about 1/3 of the schools never formally rejected me. My favorite was the school that rejected me around Halloween, I mean I figured as much but the fact that I was putting my clown costume on made it more ironic.

This was a rejection from the previous cycle so thats why I thought "I mean I knew that but why today?" 🤡

Pritzker is one of the few schools that reject applicants early on, many times within weeks of receiving an application. The application cycle would be much more kind if this practice was more widespread.

Did you hear that Oxygen is dating Magnesium. I was like “OMg!”

Itching for a Banhammer smack, I see. Punning this bad has to be a TOS violation.

I interviewed for a faculty position at CSU-Long Beach in 1999. I still have yet to hear from them.

So, you guys aren't alone!

Maybe they’re still weighing your qualification. I think you should send them an update….

Have you considered a letter of intent?

I thought those don’t usually work, unless you have some major update. Like being the Dean of the school or making the full professor.

Just violation of taste. But I think a silly chemistry jokes are good periodically

That one took off like a lead balloon.

How can II's be real if our I's aren't real?

Medical school is also not real, nor is residency. We actually are all just in on the scam and spend our days on vacation for 8 years, hence no one seeing us, which is how we accrue so much debt. We then just fake it until we make it. The fibula is also a lie created by orthopedists to sell more autologoud reconstructive implants.

you know, this made me realize that a 8 year vacation would most likely cost less than actually going to med school.

It absolutely would cost way less
