i applied to 9 schools; only one of which i have heard back from as of 10am on 1/17/08:
penn state, boston university, temple, wustl, northwestern, vanderbilt, u of toledo, miami of ohio, and u of cincinnati.
so far, i was invited to interview day at ohio state on 2/1. i received the invitation on 1/8. but according to the other board, it looks like penn state contacted people on 1/15 and 1/16 for interviews so it looks like they are out. best of luck to everyone else!
