I haven't heard anything yet and I reached out on Friday (Matched with Bay Path). Kind of disheartening when other people are hearing so quickly, but we will hear soon I'm sure! I don't think you emailing them will change when you hear from them, but if you want to show them your excitement, that's not a bad thing!
I actually received an email right after I posted this, but don't be disheartened I'm sure they're just busy with it being the end of the semester and such!

Wondering if anyone else hasn't heard from their PD yet and if so are you planning to email them yourself? I know the match is binding, but I feel apart of me will be paranoid until confirmation from the program itself.

Just wanted to stop in and wish everyone the best of luck getting their final decisions made and submitted to the match!

Hey everyone, weird question here. What age are you for those of you getting interviews?
The reason I ask is because I am 21 and graduating in May. In my opinion and in all the people I have shadowed and worked for, they all said I have a ton of experience and no doubt will get in. I applied to 5 schools and today I got rejected to the 5th.
i have heard and seen online that admissions personnel prefer applicants who are older and not right out of school.
I plan to apply again in the fall and get a some sort of job like a GC assistant but I’m worried that no matter what I do, I won’t get accepted cause I’ll be a “baby” at 22.
Are of any of you my age or close that are so far successful in the application process? I’d rather be rejected based on experience cause I can improve on that but I can’t fast forward time and make myself older sooner.
I just wanted to say that I definitely don't see the age being too big of a deterrent. I graduate this upcoming May and will be turning 23 in a few weeks. This was my first attempt applying, and I received 5 interview invitations. I believe where you apply has a ton to do with invitations and just depending on what that program is looking for that year.

My first interview is Wednesday. I'm having a mild meltdown I'm so nervous, I feel unprepared. Anyone have advice? People who have already had interviews this cycle what has it been like? Especially anyone who's had an interview at UAB?
UAB was awesome! Everyone is super friendly, no need to be nervous. If you can go to the social before hand it can be super helpful in calming your nerves.

No but last year they sent rejections around March 1, so i'm just waiting for that lol. I think they already sent out all their interviews and i don't see anyone turning them down...
Okay, thanks for your response! I'll just wait then. Not in a rush to hear a no haha

Wondering if anyone that applied to Hopkins but hasn't heard back has reached out?

Just heard about this forum today at my UAB interview, so a little late to the game. This is awesome though!

I was having the same struggle, but today my program reached out asking permission to share my information with other incoming students. Perhaps you'll hear from them soon or you could reach out to them and ask.
