I still haven't heard from Upenn so I went to their old threads from other cycles to see if there are patterns and I was shocked how many people heard from them very late. Some with stellar stats. I noticed the same thing about some other schools. They're just late bloomers! Then I realized that even an Ivy League School that is so selective was handing out acceptances all the way until March!!! So I called a girl that I know goes there, even though I don't know her every well. Turns out she was depressed for a long time and just when she thought she wasn't even going to get in last cycle, she got into Upenn in late February, just a couple of weeks after interviewing! Stories like these makes you realize that any time wasted worrying about all of this, is exactly that: a waste, especially when it is all going to work out at the end, one way or another. Your stats are perfectly great. I'm willing to bet that you're going to have a couple of great choices this cycle, but sometimes it is when we release somethings that we achieve them. This happens all the time...as soon as we release it it finds us. Just like when you always hear about couples who are trying to have a baby for years and can't, then as soon as they adopt, bam, they get pregnant! 😉 So the lesson here is don't sweat it, release it, and don't go around getting pregnant! JK!😛

You know that interview invites have been crazy slow when that's the main topic too!!
 
I just don't understand some of these schools. I've got interviews at the top 3 schools I applied to and still no words from the schools I chose as back falls.. Something weird with this cycle in my opinion

If I remember correctly, theirs had a supplemental, and then parts I and II in addition to it, or something to that effect. So I submitted the initial supplemental on Oct. 4th, and then they e-mailed me that they received the other parts on Oct. 7th.

Was the part II like the course worksheet and stuff? I remember having to complete that too.
 
why is VCU and maryland so quiet? Haven't seen anyone posting about invites from those two in the last few weeks..

When university of Florida starts playing with your feelings and sends you an email about becoming a gator. Turns out, they want me to apply to their school as a freshman in college. Nah bro, nah.

How come I didn't get the email? They really don't want me...
 
Why is Houston and San Antonio is quiet this year? Did anyone get an invite from them or I just do not know anyone that received some.

I honestly thought I would have at least have one of them interviewing me this year.

I interviewed with both of those schools recently (my only invitations so far, Houston 9/30, SA 10/6), but I know that they definitely still have lots of people to interview. Don't give up! Houston specifically was pretty clear that they interview well into February, and they are pretty conservative with December acceptances, so there is plenty of time left for those schools. = )
