Did either of you get the interview confirmation email yet? I replied to the invitation email with my preferred dates, but have yet to hear back. Thanks!

i didnt get a reply yet either...i'm sure she'll get to it tomorrow since I think it was sent out like 2 or 3 pm Texas time..
 
I received interviews from Baylor and Wilmer today. But again, I was rejected from BU and no word from Yale, Cal Pacific, Florida, Rush, SUNY-Downstate (all programs I applied to and have offered interviews). This process is soooo random!

Did anyone get a rejection from Baylor? I know people got interviews (I have not) but I also haven't received a rejection. I wonder if that means I am waitlisted or they don't send out any rejections.

Just got an interview invite from Oklahoma (Dean McGee) too! 😀 October is going GOOD so far!
 
This is killing me -- still no invites, but also no rejections.

I've gotten confirmations of complete app, and requests for supplementals and photos (all of which I've sent in), so I know they have my correct contact info.

Anyone else still in complete limbo?
 
I'm not exactly in your position, but I also hate the feeling of not knowing. I hope you hear soon! relatedly, given that hopkins' interview dates are so soon, do they plan to reject the rest of us or send out another batch in invites in the next day or so?

I was wondering the same thing, so I went and looked at last years thread. As it turned out, Hopkins sent out batches of invites, with the last batch sent out about 1 week after the first batch. So hopefully, we will hear some good news in the next few days. Last year, everyone had heard from Wilmer by about Oct 7th...
 
Rejected by Wilmer via email
well.....I know they'd be coming and now that one is out of the way with maybe it'll soften the blows of the others

Stanford by e-mail?
 
hmm went to last years thread - looks like wilmer rejections came out in batches and were by snail mail. maybe things will be different this year, but they are interviewing in less than 2 weeks.

University of Southern California. Did you hear from them for an interview, or are those just the dates? Curious.....have not heard from them.
 
indeed, it is curious that alleyesonme has not received the first interview offer from usc, or stanford.

Damn missed the phonecall, but the coordinator left a message with her work and home phone numbers. Does that mean it is ok to call her over the weekend or should I wait until Monday? I don't want to miss out on the date I would like, because everyone else called and took all of the spots this weekend.

Call this weekend, she left you the number(s) for a reason...if she didnt want you to call, she would have said "please call back monday"

good luck and congrats! i really liked this program!
 
What's up with Wilmer? I'm assuming no one else on here has heard anything...hope the rest of us receive a response soon...the waiting is killing me...
