I personally feel like SJTs are done, at least for IS, considering that IS people need to have the time to plan around going to Blacksburg in January.
Been there twice shopping for real estate since applying. Such a lovely area!

I agree that folks need notice to plan a trip out though for those required instate/in-person interviews. It's quite the hike! (5 hours away for me) but also such a nice drive.

I’m IS and got a SJT invite and am a second time applicant. I got an interview invite last cycle on 12/9 around 4 o clock. However, I haven’t heard anything yet for this cycle in regards to an interview invite and neither have two of my IS friends (also got SJT invites). I’m expecting we will find out these next few days with the latest being Monday but I’m not 100% sure.
 
Do we think today could be the day we hear about interviews/rejections after taking the SJT?! I’m so nervous knowing it could be any day now!! Has anyone reached out to admissions?

I believe last year they heard the 9th, which was a Monday. So perhaps this upcoming Monday, the 8th? Either way, the day will break soon, I hope.

Every phone notification has my heart rate going up. I am literally about to lock my phone up for the day since that isn't doing my productive skills any good. 😆

I feel like Wed might be the day with the weather but we shall see!

I am about to take a final, and I'm hoping my reward for finishing will be an email from VAMD lol! Fingers crossed we hear something today, but if not, at the latest by the end of the week!

I assume we will hear from them by the end of the week, as any later would become problematic for those making travel plans from places like Virginia Beach to Blacksburg in a few short weeks for interviews.

I'm really hoping we hear back from them soon for this reason- I'm an in-state resident but I (am currently scheduled to) return to New England to finish undergrad on MLK day. I would like to know as soon as possible if I need to change that plan.
 
I believe they sent out 1000 SJTs and will send out 500 interview invites from that pool but honestly who knows that they’ll actually end up doing
Interesting I’m guessing there isn’t anyone who has taken an SJT who was also denied. I wonder how this process worked last cycle. Did the send out two waves of rejections pre-interview?

last year all applicants took the SJT and all applicants got an email 12/9 telling them if they got an interview, were on the interview waitlist, or denied
