That's great news! I emailed Harvard about my conflict but I'm not really expecting to hear back until Jan. 4th when their offices reopen.

Me too! I come from a small liberal arts school and don't have any publications, so I really had no idea how to gauge my application. So happy.
Also, just heard from CSHL that I can attend the other weekend
Plus, visit to the optometrist today to get new contacts, so great day

Being selected for interview is a very positive thing, especially this early in the game. Interviews serve to make sure the person on paper is the same person they would be getting if you attended, and it allows both the applicant and the people at the school to determine if the applicant is a good fit. At the same time, this is also the chance for the schools to woo and market themselves to you in person. If she's gotten 4 invites, odds are she'll get offers from one of them, or at the very least be wait-listed. If you get rejected post-interview, something is up, either with you or how the program received you. I view interviews as more of a formality to make sure you're not a psychopath.
I only applied to 6 schools and ended up being fine. The only reason I declined two of the interviews was because I loved one of my programs so much that my second interview was less than impressive and I knew my other two wouldn't live up to it as I had been to the campuses before. Your daughter will be fine.
Feel free to ask me questions about interviews, etc if needed. I also have a blog post that's showing up on the front page about interview expectations that you guys might find useful. http://forum.thegradcafe.com/blogs/entry/452-all-about-interviews-experiences-for-the-gc-minions/

Congrats. I emailed them about it and they did it manually for me, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Hey guys. Just wanted to say that I'm super excited to have received an interview offer from the University of Virginia for February; I was a little worried not to have heard back from any of the universities I applied to but I'm so happy and thankful to have gotten one. I was wondering whether I should e-mail back a thank you or something to the program. Any advice would be appreciated :).
