    Two of my interview invites and my acceptance at UIUC all went to my Gmail spam folder...I check it every time I check my email.

    Sending a ton of emails. Heard this back from Hopkins biophysics "The first round of interview invitations have been extended" and then apologizing that she had no further information. I guess this is maybe implying that there will be more rounds?

    Something like this happened to me too. When I went to register for an interview date at UTSW, I chose the first of two dates as my first choice and moved on to the second page. When I went back to the first page to look over my answers, the first date had disappeared! So I selected the second date instead and submitted the form. Much to my surprise, UTSW sent me a flight itinerary for the first date the next day. My point is that the disappearing interview dates are clearly caused by a bug on their interview registration webpage. The trip coordinators should be aware of this bug and shouldn't hold it against you. Even if there weren't a bug, and you just made a mistake, there should be no reason for them to be upset with you for changing your date before the ticket had been purchased. Further, all interview dates should be equal, so the only real benefit of going earlier is that you find out your admission decision earlier. You have nothing at all to worry about.

    Interesting post as some of you start looking ahead to making grad school decisions. This entire blog is incredibly interesting as it is written from a professor's point of view. Intriguing... Also check out the "Interview" section of posts. Helpful.

    So....I start my first interview tomorrow and though I am nervous, too, I also feel really excited and hope it will be a good experience. I'm just so happy to see everyone else getting interviews, too, and I wish you all the best in your respective endeavors. I can tell there are some really great, bright people in here and I am glad to share the experience with all of you, albeit digitally and anonymously! Even if things don't work out as we hope, please enjoy as much of the ride as you can It only lasts a little while, then it's gone.

    Re: cardboardboxes
     
    I wouldn't worry about it. Mine is listed as "incomplete" too, but I don't think it means anything. Absolutely every field is filled out and they've received all my stuff. Also, back in December, I got an email from an administrator asking me to confirm some minor details, and after I sent them the info they said thanks. I assume they would've emailed me again if they needed more information.
     
    That said, I am curious why the online status still says that, so let me know if you get a response about it.

    Thank you! It feels great to know that no matter what, I'll be heading to grad school next fall. And that apparently, I can't be that bad at interviewing! Looks like it's about time for everyone on the GC forums to start getting their good news too!

    Ahhhh! I got my first acceptance today from UIUC! Not sure if I'll end up going there (I love the program but am not so hot on the location), but I can now say definitively that I will be a grad student in the fall, come hell or high water. I want to cry...I had my first interviews today too, and I'm exhausted. Not all of them went as well as I would have liked, and I was beginning to have some doubts about whether I was cut out for this or not. For those of you who are getting bad news and beginning to have doubts yourself, don't give up hope! It's not over until it's over, and then there's always next year! Just remember that over the next few weeks.

    While we're worrying about acceptance rates post interviews, I made this graph to appease your anxiety. We just want to get in somewhere right? Here's what your chances are for getting accepted into one school, assuming a 50% post interview acceptance rate:

    That's a very mean thing to say. I'm glad Harvard doesn't want a toxic person like you.

    Wow, that's uncalled for. We all analyze numbers to no end. Acetylcholine isn't saying this person is worse, just saying that numbers don't really mean anything at the highest levels. Calm down.

    For those who recently (or not so recently) were invited to interview for QCB@Princeton, the email from the chair of the admissions committee went to my inbox, but the email from student administrator who is arranging my visit went to my (gmail) spam folder. Just FYI.
