did you call them and ask about your interview invite? or did they just randomly call you?

@rocky90 - I called after I read on SDN people got a packet after submitting their supplemental and I didn't (despite mailing it in July). Called to make sure that they had everything they needed and heard pretty amazing news after the lady on the phone sounded surprise I didn't receive anything to date. She then sent me a scanned copy of the snail mail letter (the good news sunk in after like the 30th read) via email.

What Tunaman said. I didn't get anything from Penn saying that they had my application, supplemental, etc. I sort of assumed that it was like other schools where you hear either good or bad news (not indifferent news like "we got your stuff"). SDN sort of saved my butt.

I did not get this. I only got a letter saying I had missing stuff, then a couple weeks later a letter saying everything was in, then finally a packet of info with the interview invite.

I think I may be guilty of using imprecise language, and, as a result, may have caused some uncertainty. Let me try to clarify.

A cursory read of SDN suggested that after one submits everything to Penn, they will send you a packet. By packet, I meant to say that you get a nice letter from the office that says everything is complete at this time and if you get invited for an interview that they will write you. Included in the letter was a brochure of the school. Since it came with a brochure, I elected to call it a packet versus a "complete-ness letter" because the envelope is larger than your typical first class mailing.

I am not sure whether everyone receives this, but based on this forum, it is my impression that Penn extends this courtesy to everyone. IF they choose to invite you, then you get another packet/letter (this one includes a number of things: visitors guide, sample schedule, graduate student life brochure). Hopefully this clears up some confusion rather than adding oil to the speculation flame.

Apologies are an order from this end of cyber-world for any confusion (regarding the word "packet") I may have caused, and best of luck for everyone still waiting to hear back from schools.
 
yah was just confused since i received the letter stating everything was received and will be reviewed, but i didn't get the brochure. since i got the letter i'm pretty sure they didn't forget or anything.

For those wondering about NYU, they will offer you dates 5 weeks from when you call them. Unfortunately, I would be out of the country by then so they were kind enough to move up the interview date.


Good luck to everyone!

I interviewed at Stony Brook last year and from what I remember they don't start inviting people until the last week of September. It's also notification by phone call and I got only a week and half notice.

Tufts begins invites in October correct? They say not to call but I was debating calling to check on the status of my money order sent? good or bad idea?
 
Do y'all get a rush of adrenaline while you're waiting for your inbox to open in the mornings? LOL I do. At least the potential for an interview wakes me up for class now.
 
How bad is it if I didn't eSubmit ADEA/AADSAS until yesterday? Everything is complete...letters, transcripts, etc.

CA resident
AA 20 / TS 19 / PAT 20 / nothing under 16
Science: 3.4
Overall: 3.5

And, a LOT of shadowing experience...I've been working in dental offices on and off since I was 19. I don't know if they even look at that stuff this late in the game though, or just toss mine aside...
