Got an email for a Skype interview this morning from Mayo Clinic!! I know someone said that they were done sending out invites earlier, but just wanted to let y'all know that there is still hope! Also, they are only doing a few in-person interviews in MN and apparently none in FL. Skype interview set for the week of Jan 28- Feb 1. Very excited to have some hope after getting rejected from Duke on 12/28. Still have not heard anything from WashU, UT Austin, Vanderbilt, or UAB.

Thanks so much! I just have a friend that already heard back from UAB, but it was a different program and like you said, the application isn't even closed yet. Ha! Sleep is hard to come by, but it was worth it haha I would love to get into Vandy, but I'll be patient haha and I will update if I hear from them! The waiting game is just killer. But I don't expect to hear anything over the next week or so so I will try to put it out of my mind until after the holidays. Thanks so much for words of encouragement. I will try to stop stressing

I have applied to 6 different programs but have not heard back anywhere yet and I am starting to get worried. I applied pretty late in the process so I'm guessing that will affect the timing of my decision, but I still hate the waiting. Reading everyone's info I feel unqualified and am doubting myself. Would anyone care to let me know if I am actually eligible for these programs or if I may not get in anywhere.
