I emailed the coordinator to ask if all invites had been sent. She responded quickly saying that all applicants will be notified by friday.

And now someone has posted that they were rejected by email...

 

So you mean there is still a chance?  :(its killing me

So what? They are going down a list maybe alphabetical and sending out invites and rejections. They seem interleaved... I haven't been rejected yet.

I am picturing this

What is really frustrating is that the last status update was around 6pm eastern time and nothing since then. So I think we have to wait until tomorrow...

seems like they must be having another adcomm meeting. Otherwise results would have continued going out this morning. That is all I can imagine.

Or they have a waitlist for interviews and are waiting for someone to turn down the invites...

Who is turning down that invite? They have 2 weekends as well. It would have to be your 3rd+ choice AND the other interviews for your top choice would have to be those weekends lol.

Another committee meeting is not making too much sense to me, since it's a super small program. I think they have already made their choice and hopefully could keep a waitlist with mercy.

But anyway I'd consider it as a rejection. :(

Me too. When I applied, I was told by a professor that this program is very unfriendly to international student and he suggested me not to apply for it but microbiology instead...

Yeah. What is going on that they can't send them out by the time promised?

Procrastination?
