I just called and they said that if we don't get an email tonight it'll be tomorrow. I don't understand why they are telling people different things. It is really annoying!
This is annoying the crap out of me! I just wanna do this...

Friend called...they confirmed they would be sending out SOME invites this afternoon. They did not specify phone or email. GOOD LUCK!
Alright...another friend of mine called about an hour ago and they told her within the next week! I can't call again, someone want to call for SDN and ask? Before I age about 30 years! ARGGG.
I called, and they said they're still reviewing applications and "everything has been pushed back a few weeks". Apparently meaning that they are still running behind schedule and that no invitations have been sent out at this point. *sigh*

Ooo! I like this answer the best! Seriously, they're really starting to F with my mind here. I can't take it much more! On second thought, maybe different people are picking up the phone and there really is no set time... they're just giving answers to keep us happy.

So it's e-mails now?
Wait, let me preempt this for their response tomorrow "I just called earlier today and they said that if the carrier pigeon doesn't show up either today or tomorrow, then we should call animal control and see if they might've picked it up."

maybe it will be via singing telegram or a sky-written interview invite. I would personally encourage either of them. "I am your singing telegram. From Western University, we are all about diversity. We invite you to interview..sorry for not getting back to you. We got a little behind, so hopefully this will ease your mind"...see you in 5 days.after typing that, I realized that I have too much spare time on my hands.

Guys, hold on a bit longer, like I said, my invite wasn't till Jan 26, AND it went to my spam e-mail so make sure to check there too. If I run into my source tom. Ill try to dig a little deeper for you. I empathize, but its def happening in the next week or two.

That would be great...but they will probably tell you something different too
. I hope we hear something from Western sometime soon!

Yay! I'd pretty much given up on hearing from them this week! Here's hoping for a Saturday interview so I don't have to miss classes!
Just got my interview invite too!!! 😀
I GOT AN INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited!
ME TOO! I might decline the invite though, finances are still really tight for me at the moment..
Are they coming in right now or you guys just checking your emails? SO EXCITING! GOD I HOPE THEY ARE SENDING OUT MORE!
I received mine at 6:04PM California time. Crossing fingers that you get an interview too!!
Maybe tomorrow will be your day.I received mine at 6:04PM California time. Crossing fingers that you get an interview too!!Maybe tomorrow will be your day.

Congrats on the interviews everyone! I don't have one- yet,
- but I do hope to meet some of you if I do get a chance to go out there!
LLippy, I'm close to Somerville... not all that far from EB. I have family there so I visit often. 🙂

Got one as well! However....
Word to this. Each out of state interview costs me roughly $500 and I've been to two so far, with another on the horizon....gonna have to see what I can scrape from the piggy bank and wallet (aside from lint).ME TOO!

I would assume from this that they will be sending out more interviews since they are only filling up spots for the first week and they still have to fill up spots for the second week. Good Luck; I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!!

I called as well and apparently my app is still under review, but she said they are trying to finish up app reviews by today. And if we are missing anything that we will ne notified tom. so we should be hearing back up until next friday. So hopefully the rest of us get interviews.
We all just need to be patient now

I completely feel you. I am heading to Kansas for the weekend of the 31st, and that's going to cost a lot (damn shuttle from Kansas City to Manhattan!!). Thankfully I live in Texas, so the airfare isn't too horrible. Then I'm expected to be in California the first weekend in February!? I'm thinking no dice on that one. Unless you want to road trip Hopeful, I don't bite. Haha! 😛
Good luck everyone!
Has anyone who heard back last night received anything confirming the interview date they asked for yet?
No. No confirmation yet, I would guess that they will e-mail us right after they close so they do not get swamped with phone calls (like they did for the interview invites) I think they prefer e-mail communication.

Got confirmation of my interview!! I am interviewing Monday, February 1st. The entire process will last from 8AM-12:30PM. I hope I can meet some SDNers at the interview. Good Luck to everyone else!!! 

I'll be there the same time as you, CattyCat.
Woo! Confirmation! Anyone gonna be there Feb 4?
Also, what the eff is a behavioral-based interview?
Behavioral-based is where they asked you experience type questions. Like tell me about a time when you had to solve a conflict in a group setting? And you have to give an example of how you did that. Good Luck!!!

Feb. 6th also! We should wear SDN nametags haha 🙂
Feb. 3rd!
Was excited to hear from Western since it's the only "local" school for me. Just heard today that they aren't counting one of my 300 level courses as upper division. Really bummed. It seems kind of late in the game to tell me that.
Hope it doesn't happen to anyone else! Good luck!
