There's absolutely no way to reschedule? Sounds like the schools are playing hard ball a bit, as they must have other interview days where a bit of juggling could be done. If that really is the case, what a horrible predicament. I'd venture a guess that your chances with Tufts are slightly better, on account of their large class size and that they seem to operate deeper into the winter and spring than other schools. Keep us posted on how it shakes out, and congrats on scoring a Pitt invite!

If I were you, I would go to Pitt and try to reschedule Tufts around Pitt.
Thanks free.
TUFTS 75% Vs Pitts 22% acceptance rate after interview for OOS. I'm not picky at this point.... chances to reschedule seems very low, not to also mention rescheduling two midterms that week will be hard.
Will find out more after visiting professors tmr.
I would look at stats and think about which you have the best opportunity for getting into. Are you in classes right now? You could say you have an exam on that day to one of them and ask to reschedule.
Both schools sent me an email saying "these are only days available. Can't make it? Sorry". And I'm still in school.😡

Awesome! When is your Pitt interview? I just had mine yesterday and they said there was one more.
Interview #7 from Pittsburgh. Will be declining
i know we've communicated via pm and stuff, and it's easy to say "interview wherever you'd like", but at this point, in your shoes...i'd go with the math. interview at tufts, but do everything in your power to keep the door at pitt open.
crush it.
Just got rejected from Tennessee via E-mail.
Also rejected from Tennessee - OOS. They said in the email they only allow 10 OOS (with 1,000+ OOS applicants), and aren't considering anyone OOS with lower than 3.5 BCP and 19+ DAT, no scores below 18. I don't think I ever realized how hard it is for OOS candidates to get into a state school. What a great accomplishment for those OOS people that get in!
Have heard back from 5/7 schools applied to now.

There's usually less than 10 OOS folks who get into all 3 Texas schools combined. Cutthroat!
That's insane. I wonder if it's also in part due to filling out TMDSAS? Filling out AADSAS was aggravating enough (mostly just the PS) - wouldn't want to fill out and pay for TMDSAS as well if I knew I already had a low chance of getting into their schools. Probably means they have many strong in-state applicants with far fewer competitive OOS applicants.
They take AADSAS for OOS applicants. Also, they can't take more than 10% OOS by law, so that's 30 ppl max. Trust me, they get quality OOS applicants, but certainly fewer than the top private schools. Even OOS tuition is dirt cheap.
Were you ever put on an interview waitlist?
How were you notified? And when did you send in your app?
knock them dead buddy
I will!! it may be my first and only so fingers crossed! I was not expecting this at all! I got the phone call this afternoon around 2:30 pm, and I am out of state (CA). My app was sent in beginning of July (second batch), and my secondary was sent the end of July.

Denied by Tennessee
When i submitted my AADSAS app, i only list all planning course at my full-time institution for fall 2013. However, i did take one course at another institution for fall 2013 ( it was not planned at the time i submitted). Now i try to add that course into completed section, but it only appear all my courses at one institution. Can anyone tell me how to add a new institution for fall 2013 so that i could put my grade in
man, is it me, or have schools been really slow with wait listed and post-dec interviewed applicants this year?
I totally agree, having to play the waiting game and having our futures swinging in the balances sucks enough... But to have the schools add in the extra waiting is just inhumane in my opinion lol.
So I decided to attend interview at Tufts, just because although waitlisted, there is no guarantee of acceptance until I see that letter..
Tufts won't let me reschedule. sigh.... sad day.
