It's all such a weird role reversal for a director... Usually we're the ones with the decision-making power and the secret thought processes! Thank you - good luck on yours as well!

Interesting... What I saw was 8 slots on Feb 18 in person, 3 slots on Feb 11 that are virtual. (The email I got said that interviews are in person, unless you can't make it, in which case contact them. But it was phrased like they're expecting most in person.) By the time I saw the email the majority of in-person slots were filled and I snagged one of the remaining ones. The 3 virtual slots were all empty - and now I see one is filled. I interpreted all that to mean that there are 8 finalists and they made 3 just-in-case slots for people who won't be traveling... But maybe that's totally off-base!

@adisplaynameIt is a KILLERRRR. To your question "Anybody else's stomach turning?"... YES, I'm right there with ya!! While obviously we're all in competition with each other, it is nice to have spot to wallow in our anxiety together ? Congrats on the interviews you've got lined up so far -- maybe we'll cross paths in Chicago!

Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster... Wonder if we can get this conversation going like the threads from the past couple years! I applied to Yale, CMU, UCSD, DePaul, Northwestern, and UT at Austin. I've heard from Yale and DePaul so far about interviews. Like @adisplaynamesaid, looks like UCSD sends out invitations during this week (although, I'm curious if the app deadline has always been in early January? it seems like such a quick turnaround time, I wondering if the deadline has been earlier in the past... anyone know?) and I think Northwestern's go out in the next week or so too.
