6 of my schools haven't responded yet. Mid-Late February is when I expect them to start rolling in. Not to fret! For your second question, Pitt emailed me, around mid-day.

Congrats!

At least for Pitt, they told us there were only 5 interview spots per session (Morning/Afternoon), so 10 people per interview day

Congrats! That's awesome

Remember: You only need one! The day after my first rejection was my first interview request, so just because one school rejected you means nothing.

Reading back through all y'all's posts makes me so nervous about my apps! Everyone has way more experience than me! @geecee92 I was actually the person that posted the Pitt interview, and your resume is way better than mine is so I'm sure that you'll do great! It's killing me to wait for 6 more of my applications... I'm here actually doing schoolwork to avoid thinking about applications!

Yay other GC applicants! There always seems to be little amounts of GC people on the board, but the survey is still pretty active, which is nice. I have got an interview at the University of Pittsburgh and a rejection from Stanford so far, but I'm still going to be super stressed out until I hear back from the other 6 programs I applied to.

Two of my applications have had wrinkles this weekend: One school emailed me over a week ago asking about a clarification on my application, and I didn't see the email until this weekend! It sucks responding to the email today, knowing that I won't get a response until Tuesday at the latest, making that two weeks since they emailed me! I just feel so stupid for not noticing the email and responding right away and I don't know whether it will hurt my application or not, which stresses me out a lot. Another application has a mail-in supplement, which I mailed in last weekend, ahead of the Jan 15 deadline, expecting it to arrive around the date of the deadline. However, I got it back today in the mail for having insufficient postage. That's what I get for printing on extremely heavy paper, I guess. I emailed them today to let them know, but like the first application, they won't get the email until Tuesday at the latest, and my supplement won't get there until late next week. I think it's really the uncertainty of my dumb mistakes that is stressing me out so much, like what if I messed everything up because I was too stupid to put two stamps on my letter or if I paid attention to my emails a little bit more. And now I'm worried about the rest of my applications and if I messed up anything on them as well. It really sucks, because I'm not going to know about any decision until sometime next month, so there's a whole month here that this is all I'm going to think about.

School Day

Got another email from Sarah Lawrence, which turned out to be another advertisement, like the Northwestern email. I know that all my applications say mid-late Feb are interview notifications, but I can't stop myself from compulsively checking! Two people have already posted interviews on the survey, which makes me nervous as well.

My first applications were due on Dec. 15, and my last ones are due in two days, although I submitted early. Previous survey results say that I won't get my first notifications until Feb 15 or so, so I'm gonna get drunk and not think about it until then! (Although I got an email from Northwestern today, and I freaked out. It was just an ad to apply to their MS Biotech program )

I'm kinda jealous that the Biological Sciences applications are already getting responses... My Genetic Counseling applications aren't even due until Jan 15 and Interviews aren't until March!

Just submitted two more applications. Waiting until after finals next week to complete my January deadline applications, and then I'll be done! Also, graduation is in 13 days, which is a little scary. Totally forgot I was graduating until my mom texted me asking about tickets!

Wonder Woman

Just submitted my first two applications for Fall 2016! So excited and nervous! No time to stop, got a couple more applications to finish still!
