So I've seen a rejection, an interview, and a waitlist for Syracuse in the last two days. I've gotten nothing! Anyone else in the same boat?

UTK sent out interviews a little while back. Sorry

Would the University of New Mexico poster be willing to PM their POI? Thanks!

I think University of Oregon had their interviews last weekend.

Thanks everyone! I decided to fly out the day of the grad student dinner, which is the day before interviews. I also made sure to get a nonstop flight Fingers crossed for a smooth travel day!

Anyone claiming the Vermont post? I would love to know if it came from a POI, and if so, who?!

They are offering housing with grad students Friday/Sat night, with the dinner with grad students being on Fri night. So if I go early (i.e., Thurs), I am looking at getting a hotel. Otherwise, I could fly out Friday morning and get in Friday afternoon, presumably in time for the dinner.

I would technically be flying in the day before interviews. The only thing planned for that day is the dinner with grad students. But still, I'd hate to make a bad impression by being late.

Hi Everyone! For those of you who are traveling for interviews, are you traveling the day of? I have an out of state interview coming up and am trying to decide if arriving in the afternoon is a safe bet, or if I should consider flying out the day before and getting settled. I'd love to hear your thoughts and what others are doing in this situation. Thanks!

That is great news, thanks for sharing!

For the Auburn poster..did the email come from your POI or from the school? Could you msg me your POI?

UT-Knoxville POI said his invites already went out. At least I can stop hoping for that one now..

I had a similar situation. One of my first author papers was "provisionally accepted" and another 3rd author paper was accepted. I sent an updated CV to my POIs (only ones that I had some previous communication with) and asked them if it were possible to update my application. Maybe I should have sent it to the admin people, but I figured it mattered most to those I am interested in working with. On that note, I did get one positive email back, so maybe it is worth it!

Do you know if the invites covered all specilaization areas? I'm particulary interested if they covered the Community/Prevention area. ASU is my top choice so now I am really freaking out!

This is my second time applying and really can't imagine not getting at least one offer this time around, so I haven't let myself think about backup plans just yet. I have a research position at the VA, so I am in a good place if I don't get in though. I am not sure I could go through this agony a third time around, so hopefully this is it!
