me! 2 rejections and dry inbox for interviews! i got you fam, we'll get through it

I know 2 or 3 people posted that they had received invites from UCLA IMMP, but is there any insight on whether more invites will be sent or if there is just one round?

That’s actually super irritating. Like what does that even mean??? Im sitting here refreshing my email a million times a day praying for that ONE invite and most of these posts are complaining about how they got four interviews so far but havent heard back from X, or Y school and theyre crying about it like???? Tone deaf much?? 

I just emailed the program. they told me they are still reviewing, and will extend all invites before the end of January.

Thank you for the update!

has anyone heard back from Yale microbiology?

I GOT A SINAI INTERVIEW!

Im happy for everyone getting interviews but is there anyone on here who has yet to receive any interview invites? Im starting to feel super down and lost. It sucks man

?❤️ Does anyone want me to start a Discord for interview prep?

Hello! I heard from BU (PiBS) on Monday (1/4) about an interview! This was after receiving the email that stated they would send more emails after the new year as they hadn't gotten through all the applications. My interview is set for February 8th. 
The only schools I am left waiting on are Yale MMPP program, Harvard BBS, Vanderbilt IGP, and Georgia State IBMS (my safety). I already have heard back and received interviews from UAB (Jan 13-15), Emory (Jan 27-29), FSU (Jan 29-30), UMich (Feb 4-6), BostonU (Feb 8), Baylor (Feb 11), and WashU STL (Feb 25-26)!
Good luck everyone! I am so glad I found this site this morning; I was unsure if schools would even reach out if they didn't offer you an interview/were rejected. Thanks for all the insight and feedback from everyone!

BU (PiBS) here! 
Haven't heard any progress. I believe they are still reviewing the materials

Yeah, I'm almost certain I'm going to be rejected by Weill Cornell, yet I'm getting interviews from schools I didn't seriously think I'd get good news from. Funny stuff. 

if anyone applied to UIC GEMS they have not started application review yet apparently, I think this season is so weird for everyone it's hard to make an assessment without an outright rejection email if you haven't heard from programs. 

Hey party people! Has anyone else been invited to interview at UCLA (IMMP), Yale (BBS, Micro), University of Washington (Pathobiology), or BU (PiBS)? Would love to say hi to you! (Everything feels so isolating when it's happening remotely...)
Also... Has anyone else gotten good news from "reach" schools and waitlist/rejections from "safety"s? I feel like my luck has just been insane (not to be that person. I am genuinely stupid)

Im still waiting on NYU and Sinai and I'm going to go insane lol
