@hfj23 Thanks! And I was able to rank and get a response about my date within an hour.

VCU invites are out.

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!

Well I am officially giving up on this round of applications. Honestly the first rejection hurt the most but, strangely, now I am feeling energized about making my application better for next year and in desperate need of ways to fill a couple gaps I see now in retrospect. Lets hope this feeling of resilience sustains me over the next few months!! Also in the Colorado rejection email they stated they would write personalized application comments starting in JUNE! I know they have a lot on their plates but holy cow, I don't know if I can wait that long! Until then, congrats to everyone with interviews, hope they all go well.   *patiently waiting for the Genetic Counseling Fall 2019 Applicants thread to be born*

I got three rejections in one day.
michigan, colorado, and rutgers. Surprisingly, I’m not taking it to heart. 

Just got an interview invitation from Pittsburgh!

This will be my last post in the thread. 
I got my rejection letter from Cincinnati yesterday morning, so I guess some people waited til the last possible second to RSVP on Friday night. I'm not sure why they were making poor Betty work on a Sunday morning, but it was a really great way to kick off the end of my weekend.
I can't watch people get 8 and 9 interviews, when I can't even get one, it hurts too much. So I'm done. Good luck to all of you, and congrats to those of you that are getting interviews. I will not be looking at the spreadsheet anymore, and am not going to be rabidly checking my email. All I'm waiting on is the official rejection emails from UTHouston and UAB, and the the game should repeat itself next week when Utah, KGI and Augustana make their offers.

I dunno if it's just my anxiety of wanting to get in to the program... but I definitely plan to rank all the schools I interview at.  I already narrowed it down from 40 to 9... so I'm pretty sure I'd be happy to go to any of those schools.

I think you're too worried. You got the interview. You don't need to prove yourself on your application anymore. It's like a clean slate. From this point forward, schools will choose on personalities best suited for their program, and who can present themselves as qualified.  I mean I have never interviewed someone applying to a school program, but I have interviewed several people for jobs. 
Sometimes the best application, is just not a good fit for the office environment after the interview. Then, sometimes, you realize that someone lied on their application during the interview. You are good enough. Now you just have to show them that you'll fit in and you're equipped to be their student.

Congratulations though! You are an equal with everyone else who has an interview, don't forget.
