Congrats to you! 
I don't know if this makes me feel better or worse--I submitted my application before December 1st, but I got an email last week saying my application was still "incomplete" (FALSE--they had all my transcripts, the grad admissions office just hadn't marked it in the system!) which wasn't resolved until I called Monday. Probably just shot myself in the foot really good for a chance at an interview.
 
I figure they probably interview 40. I also am going to take a wild ballpark guess and say that only maybe 25% of applicants know about this forum and are reporting their results on the spreadsheet. So if that's the case, they probably called 16 or so people yesterday for interview invitations. That leaves everyone else left for the second string round of calls 24 spots. 

Thank you! sent you a message, btw

This gives me so much joy! I'm so happy to hear this!

@Ultrapeaches didn't you make this??

It's only February, spending 6 months at a serving job is still pretty long. I understand not wanting to talk about it since it isn't a sure thing right now. But, I'm sure they understand you wanting to follow your dreams. Just give them a good 6 months and I wouldn't try to feel so bad about it. 

@Slaybackc I speculate it's this list: https://agcpd.org/ProgramDirectory.aspx under 'associate members'.
Also question for you: you mentioned something awhile back about not being able to shadow because of state regulations in your state. We're in the same state. Are you saying Arizona doesn't allow it? I haven't had a chance to run into those roadblocks much and find out for myself, since the GCs i met with were in another state, and since i've moved back to AZ I've worked full time and lived hours away from where any GCs are.
