Sarah Lawrence anyone?

@Lauren423 I wouldn't agree with the above statement at all.  I'm 22 and finishing up my degree in undergrad right now, graduating in May.  I applied to 8 programs and received 7 interviews.  Note that I've only had 3/7 interviews thus far, but there's been several other interviewees finishing their degree as well at my interviews.  And I've been told by interviewers that I'm an extremely competitive applicant this cycle.  I don't think age matters at all.  If you have the experience and the passion for the field, you are just as qualified as someone who took some years off.

Northwestern should be today/tomorrow or next week.  My friend is in that program and asked the director last week and they still were unsure exactly when they were going to be sending invites out, but they guessed toward the end of this week or early next week.

YAY Mt. Sinai interview invite!! Beyond excited as this is my top choice so far!

I have a friend in the Northwestern program, and she said we should hear from northwestern toward the end of this week (but when I asked her last week the director wasn't 100% sure on an exact day yet, so still kind of unclear)

I just wanted to say to everyone...though this process SUCKS and is mentally and emotionally draining...I hope everyone can become a GC (sounds cheesy I know). I think we could all offer some great things to this field. It is extremely competitive but we will get through this! I just know I need some motivation right now with this process and I am sure everyone else does too!
