Thank you so much for your kind words!
 
I was wondering if anyone knew the status of in-state interviews? I applied in July, and haven't heard anything, and neither have any of my in-state or OOS friends. I was told they have to send invites a month before interview dates, but Dec 15th is coming up...

I was told they were done with pre-december a few weeks ago and have one more post-december interview left.

they do 6 interviews a year, 5 pre dec, 1 post dec. I believe they have one left, that being the post dec date.
