If they are sending invites out in waves or on a rolling basis, I could see them only offering a few interview dates. Augustana has sent out one wave and only offered 3 dates, but their deadline hasn't even passed yet so I'm sure they will be doing at least one more wave with additional dates. Emory sent out some invites the first week of January, and they also just sent out some invites this week it looks like. Programs have to work around the schedules of the directors and other staff, which could also be why they only schedule a few dates first and then more later once they make everyone's schedules work.  

Yeah that makes sense. It was just weird to me that the other candidate and I got interview invites the same week (one day apart) and I was given 7 interview dates while the other person got only 3. It seems like we should have both been offered the same number of dates in that first wave.

When did you submit your application for Emory and when did you hear back from them that you received an interview? I know that some interviews have been rolling out recently and I just want to know approximately when to expect mine! 

I submitted my application around 11PM on Dec 22nd (also very close to the deadline haha) and received an invitation for 7 dates February-March on Jan 5th. I noticed on the results page that the first interview invitation went out via email on Jan 4th, but they were only given three interview dates. That post also said Emory is accommodating only 18 interviews max, which isn't true overall. Given that we got invites around the same time, does anyone know why some candidates might be offered more interview dates than others? It seems unfair some candidates would get a select number of dates while others get the full spectrum. Also do other schools do this?
