So today had a weird turn of events, its was my second time applying and out of the six schools I had applied to this year I had received 5 rejections in a row. I had started to map out my plan B since it seemed Genetic Counseling was just not meant to be and then all of a sudden I received an interview from Indiana State this morning. To all of you feeling down right now, trust me I know and understand the pain of rejection, I have received nothing but rejection (5 last year and this year) but there's hope and hard work will pay off.

I also received a big fat no. I am bummed given this is my second year and my starting it out with a rejection
-
I also applied to Indiana State and submitted my P.S. pretty early as well around the end of October. I also unfortunately saw this format change. I am hoping this will not affect our chances especially since they can see when we submitted our statements. I noticed they changed the format around the middle of December so hopefully this is not a huge deal. When I applied last year it was single spaced 2 pages so I don't know why they decided to changed the format so suddenly and toward the end the process after a lot of people had submitted it. If this is the reason one would not get an interview then that's just cruel. It's better said than done but I wouldn't worry your application, resume, and Personal statement speak more about you than if its double spaced.

It honestly depends on the program. Most schools will send interviews in waves usually a day or a couple days apart before they do rejections. There are some schools though that only do one round of interviews especially if they are a smaller school with less interview space and then usually do rejections a day or two later. But it can be difficult to say, every school is different and it also depends on how many people accept and if the schools changes their mind later on. It's hard not to stress out but there's still hope

Thank you and all the best to you as well! By the way to your question I.U. should have sent you an email after you submitted your application including the interview release date and interview dates. The Ohio State interviews I am basing off of applying last year.

Hello there fellow second time applicant. I am also very nervous this time around, more so than last time which is surprising me beyond belief. I do not know about the other schools that you mentioned but Ohio State will most likely not reply back for at least another week for those who applied for the Dec. 31st deadline. Indiana University is supposedly going to be sending out interview emails next Tuesday the 23rd.
-
I applied last year and this year as well. Everyone who applied for the fellowship application should have heard back by now. But, those of us who applied for the normal application that was due Dec. 31st will most likely not hear back until next week or the very end of Jan.
-
I totally feel you on the waiting game. Last year it was a little easier since most of the programs specially said it wouldn't be until late Jan./early Feb. but due to the NMS its so stressful to know when it will be this time around. I am also hoping North Carolina will be soon. There deadline was so early and based on past results they contacted people as earlier as the beg./middle of Jan. but like you said who knows.
-
I also submitted my application at the end of October and received an email from her a few days later with an email with the interview email release date, the interview days, and a form to fill out stating which program you were applying to, adding your NMS code, and whether or not you needed to submit other transcripts. We were suppose to submit this in order for them to begin to review our application as that's what they said last year. So I would definitely reach out to her, if she did not send you this email, especially since she has been sending you updated info. on materials received.
-
No problem, dates are the worse to keep track of. I am just happy its 3 days earlier than I thought than later.

My email said Jan. 23rd.
-
Is the one another school your talking about Indiana University? On the bright side less than 2 weeks until there suppose to send emails out, but its going to be stressful since they gave the exact date so you'll know right away based on if you received an email that day. I noticed you also applied to UNCG, I did not apply there last year so I have no clue when they usually reply back with emails. There deadline was super early though and I noticed in previous years they contacted people as early as the second week of Jan. but then again who knows.
-
@hfj23 thank you for the clarification. That makes a lot more sense
-
That's what I was thinking as well. Last year when I applied to OSU they contacted me the very beg. of Feb. I was just confused because I also applied early but not to the fellowship deadline and therefore was wondering if they were still giving interview spots to those who applied to that specifically due to it begin too early for interviews for those who applied for the normal deadline.
-
Oh okay, I asked because I didn't know if it was for regular admission for the Dec. 31st deadline, if so it's really early and I am scared/anxious.
