Waiting for a Verdict . . .

Does anyone have any perspective on the turnover time between secondary submission and news of interview invite? I received emails a few weeks ago that schools had received my secondary and were "reviewing" . . . and I guess I'm just nervous/impatient/eager/excited and was wondering if the wait implies bad news - - should I change my essays for the apps I haven't yet finished yet, or can nothing really be inferred??

or can nothing really be inferred??

That's the correct answer. There's a whole five interview invites posted on the interview thread so far. Calm down and have a beer.

Thats a good idea 😉.

lol, thanks! guess the interview thread just sounded some false alarms! no worries (yet) for all those uninterviewed applicants out there

both Umich ones are from on-campus students. I sent out my first secondary last week. Stop worrying! 🙂

You shouldn't worry at all. Gotta stay positive and confident, even if you don't get interviews for a while. Some schools are just slower than others.

Worrying never accomplishes anything, anyway.

That makes me feel a lot better because I've been sitting on my secondaries for at least a month now and I've only turned in a couple. The ironic thing is that it's taking me so long because I spend waay too much time in lab!

stillsmilin, try not to get too worked up...you're making me nervous!

 

[leverp2000]

Yeah, I got like 1 done (Umich), while I was working in the lab. Now that I'm taking a break, I've managed to finish up 10/12 🙂 (Harvard does theirs in September and UChicago is just too much to write).

Let's just say I have more reminders of encouragement (deadline threats) than secondaries done right now!

 

[tedrik]

10/12?? that's pretty good...I'm closer to 5/19 😀

i wouldnt worry too much. since i work as a nurse right now i have some extra time after work to do the secondaries.

im 22/23 so far. one more to go (need to get it first -- come to think of it, has anyone gotten Mt. Sinai's secondary?)

 

[leverp2000]

Jeez, 19 and 23 schools. I couldn't handle that many secondaries, not to mention the cost.
