I thought that it might be at least *somewhat* useful at this point to come up with a list of schools that haven't given out any interviews to date (at least that we know of). And, for those schools, it would be great for people to post if they have any information as to when those schools may potentially start giving out interviews. I don't expect this list to be very long, but I'm sure there are still a few schools out there.

So, I'll start... Nobody has posted an interview invitation from ECU. I don't have an update, though, but I do know that their new class started this week; they're probably busy with that for the time being.
 
Seems that Tufts, Marquette, Temple, and both SUNYs (Buffalo and Stony Brook) have not sent interview invites yet

Louisville and U of Tenn havn't started giving interview invites to OOS yet.
Meharry and Howard haven't sent invites at all but last year Meharry gave their earliest (according to last year's thread) interview invites on August 22nd and 24th so they could potentially start next week.
 
OHSU,

it was the last school out of 7 to send me an email confirmation, so most likely they start reviewing applications later too

Have you looked at the **Official Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread 2013-2014** yet? UPenn started sending invites around 2 weeks ago and have steadily been sending more out, I received one yesterday 🙂woot🙂, and Columbia has started sending invites as well.
 
I just received an " admissions committee is currently reviewing your application" email from Buffalo. Hopefully it means I get an interview soon :xf:

i got this same email...and still nothing from them yet
 
Why is that a bad thing??

Don't take my word for it, but I'm assuming it's a soft rejection. I received an interview invitation last cycle about a month after the "Ready for Review" email. I never got a "Continuing Review" email. I think I got it this year because my application hasn't really changed from last year. It sucks though, I thought I had a good shot because I was waitlisted last time.
