Also.. It seems like UConn isn't taking any residents this cycle..

Why do you say UConn doesn't seem to be taking residents? There was discussion of adding a 4 year spot for this cycle but it didn't end up happening. There are still two 6 yr spots as usual tho.
 
This is the email I received:

"
Dear Applicant,

I am emailing you to confirm that you have applied for the 6 year program with us. We had hoped to offer a 4 year spot this year, however, we are not. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you sent me a check for 75.00 I will return it to you, just let me know.

Best wishes with the interview season."

Actually, the coordinator got back to me and she said they are accepting applicants for 6yr spots.. I'm glad I got that clarified...

If people can put the date that you got your interview notification, that would be awesome. It would help people know when they have completely missed the boat with an invite and also help future applicants have an idea of when to expect invites.

Any updates on interviews from UMB or BU? Does anyone know what time do the interviews go out for these programs? Thanks very much!

Are these the correct Emory dates? The email says it will be Friday/Saturday, but these are Sunday /Monday.
 
No I'm asking if anyone confirmed with Emory since their dates and days of the week don't match up in my email.

I confirmed with Emory. The dates are correct. They will be held on Sunday and Monday.

Hey guys,
Is it safe to assume if you didn't get an email/phone call on those dates posted, you are rejected? Do schools send out invites even after those dates?
Thanks.
 
I was wondering something along the same lines as CremeBrule5000. Jacksonville has a deadline of Oct 1st but it looks like interviews went out already. Are they still sending out interviews?

I imagine that it depends on the program. For example, if a program has multiple interview dates, then they might have a few waves of offers, whereas a program with only one interview date might only have one wave of offers. I honestly don't know the answer to this, but this is my hunch.

I spoke with Jacksonville when I confirmed that my application was complete and they said that their invites are on a first come first serve basis so it is impossible to know if they have given them all out. Also, some schools have reserve lists of the names of those they will send invites to if their first wave invites decline. @Bereno ...thoughts, reactions, concerns?

Jacksonville last year sent out all of their invites before anyone from my school sent out a single application by Sept 2nd deadline and nobody got an invite from them. As expected, they will continuously send out more invites on a 1:1 basis as applicants begin to decline their interviews for that program, which will happen as more of the interview invites for all programs start rolling around. I don't at all agree with their first come first serve interview invite policy because they're undoubtedly missing out on great applicants every year by doing this but on the other end that's their fault if they wish to diminish the quality of their applicant pool.

As far as programs sending out multiple waves, it happened often last year and was not always correlated with having multiple interview dates although some were most definitely in this category. For example, Penn and Alabama did 2 waves and they had one single day for interviews. So if you did not get one when everyone else is posting that invites have been given out for a certain program, do not give up hope yet as they may have just not gotten to your app yet as you may have submitted a bit later than others.

Just spoke with Jacksonville. All the interview offers have been made and all the slots are full at this point. Prior to their deadline. Waste of money.
 
Michigan did the exact same thing. Their due date is October 15 and they sent out emails September 2nd

No way. I just spoke to them two days ago about sending the $50 fee and they said that I have until end of month to send it. I just sent it in. Are they just collecting checks from people?

This is why in my humble opinion there is absolutely no reason not to send in your application as early as possible. This is because of a few issues, the first of which is above but more importantly you're relying on someone at the institution to give a rip about your application. Not all program coordinators and auxiliary staff are that high speed. I am just postulating here but there is certainly a possibility good applicants aren't given interviews simply by the incompetence of support staff. In other words you want as much time as possible to make sure each program has all the required documents.

Good luck everyone, lucking forward to the interviews as that means we are all moving up another year.

I definitely agree that submitting applications as early as possible is a great move. However, when certain "entrance" exams (NBME CBSE) are offered only twice a year, I feel that would be only fair to applicants and beneficial to the program to extend interviews until after the exam scores have been released...
