I was deferred last year and had no other interviews (late submission plus low volunteer hrs) so I'm very excited this year. Submitted right when the app opened and was surprised with how quickly it was verified/interview invite sent. Good luck to everyone else!

If my application was complete and verified on 7/18 should I be nervous? I haven’t heard anything yet!

I’m nervous too. All I’ve received from them was a brief email stating that my application was received and they’d let me know when the review is complete. But I didn’t specifically get an email stating my application was complete. That was on 7/3 and I’ve heard nothing since.

Yep! I received that email too on July 3rd. My application was submitted on June 27th, verified by July 1. But my LOR was a committee letter and it wasn’t submitted until 7/18 so I would assume that they didn’t start reviewing it until then! Idk man! Sending good vibes! Looks like we are in the same boat!

Yeah…from what I can tell, they sent a bunch of invites early on, but it seems like it’s been quiet for a while. Good vibes right back to you! Hang in there…the waiting is rough!
