I got one too. What I’m wondering is if they sent the waitlist emails to everyone or actually the small number of people who are on the waitlist. Last year, I received the same email and I noticed many people, possibly everyone who applied, receiving waitlist emails from them.

I also didn't receive anything from them but I emailed Joan and she told me I wasn't selected for an interview. Not sure if they have a waitlist but doesn't hurt to ask them to check your status.

Ahh good to know! thanks

For everyone who applied to SLC, did you get an email confirming that application has been completed and sent for review? or does SLC not have that? I'm just a little worried because my application has been submitted but one of my checklist items is not checked off. This is because I'm still taking a class pending until March and the transcript hasn't been uploaded. It could just be me being overly nervous not getting an interview email from them lol

Hey everyone, just for those who are wondering about KGI: they called me today reminding me that tomorrow is the deadline for their applications (which I held off for a while). I've also got to ask when the interviews will be out and they said no later than late-Feb. They are apparently interviewing 50 applicants. I hope everyone is holding strong!!

Augustana replied back like a month after I sent an email and for UCI I received nothing so I emailed the program director directly!

Hi everyone! I am a second round applicant and hoping for a better outcome for Fall 2018 cycle. For Fall 2017 I applied to Augustana, UCI, Rutgers, UPitt, ISU, Northwestern, U of South Carolina, Arcadia, and Boston and received ZERO interviews (sigh). I received waitlist for an interview at Northwestern but I feel like everyone was at least put on the waitlist. GPA and GRE are the two main factors why I received no interviews so I plan to retake the GRE and raise my score. For GPA though, I know a lot of programs want to see post bacc or grad level courses but for me (mostly because how expensive these courses are) I was planning to take couple classes at a local community college and take the UC embryology course online. Anyone know of the most affordable accredited college/university to take online science grad level courses? Are taking classes at a cc not worth it? Right now I work at a Biochemical Genetics lab as a research/lab assistant (been over 2.5years) and also volunteer for genetic counselor and psychometrist at a teratology research center (reaching one year mark next month). I also signed up for CTL counselor volunteer starting in June. There is so much on my plate right now that I am thinking of giving up my volunteer hours at the teratology research center and just stick with CTL counselor but I'm afraid I will regret it. I'm also looking into other job positions that include more clinical role or clinical research so that I can gain more patient interaction but I don't know if it will benefit me in the long run. For those who have or are applying as second time applicant: my LORs were really strong per the programs that I reached out to but I don't know if I need to ask my recommenders to resubmit the same LORs or write a new one. Any ideas? Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated!
