I was just curious what the rationale is behind a program sending an interview invitation to you via email directly rather than through ERAS. Anyone know the answer? 😕
Direct Email Interview Invitations???

No idea. Everything I've gotten via email has also been duplicated in ERAS.

Because not everyone is obsessive-compuslive about checking ERAS every day, let alone every 5 minutes like people on here are. Nor should they have to be.
Less than half of my interview invitations have duplicates sent to ERAS. I've actually stopped looking at those messages.
Yesterday, a program sent an invitation by regular mail, which I thought was pretty cool.

I've received five invites so far, and four were sent to me with a copy going to ERAS and one was sent to me directly. I never check ERAS (well, maybe 2-3x/wk).
i think a couple of you are misunderstanding what i mean by "direct" emails. What I mean is that the program sends you an email without *any* message appearing in the ERAS postbox. So, for example, if you have a very agressive spam filter and your email invitation gets rerouted, you will never realize you got the invitation since ERAS doesn't have any record of it

I got your meaning. One of my programs sent something to me directly (there is no record of it in ERAS). I did think about the spam filter, but I used my school address and I've never "lost" a message before. Yahoo/Gmail/Hotmail is a different ballgame...
