I submitted my app around January 10th and got an interview invitation via phone on the 25th! 

Wow that's a really quick turn around time.  I had all of my documents in to them before Christmas, but one of my references didn't send in his recommendation until January 9th.

For all of you interviewing at UAMS, how long did it take Noelle to get back to you about the interview date. I sent my preferences in but haven’t gotten a response yet. My email has been acting up lately, so just seeing if I may need to call her instead.

I know I had all my references in before I submitted, I'm not positive on the date though so it may have been a little earlier than January 10th. I bet you will hear back soon!

Did anyone hear back from UNCG regarding being hosted by a student overnight while interviewing? I am interviewing on the 5th of February and they haven't confirmed anything yet. 

I haven't heard either and I will also be there on the 5th.

I’m in the same boat of being unconfirmed, I sent my preferences on Thursday. I really want to go ahead and start planning travel and hotel accommodations

Okay, glad to hear that I am not the only one. I imagine it's a bit harder to host me as I am a guy and there are all of three men in the program. Also, awesome that we have the same date. See you in a week!

I got my Cincinnati interview invite just now with 5 interview dates. There is no mention of any track in the invite. I am working with them to get the Skype situation confirmed. But yay ! I m so happy.  Guys I think they are gna keep sending out the invites throughout the day, so be hopeful n check your email. Don't worry.

But seriously, congrats!! Can I ask what interview dates they are offering?

Thank you. Okay for the in-person their dates are 16th & 20th Feb, 1st & 20th March & 4th April.

They will be informing me about the Skype dates in the near future. I don't know if they could be the same.

Does anyone have experience with what the financial aid/loan process is like for GC schools (or the schools below that I'm specifically applying to)? I've done the FAFSA and sent SLC some other documentation (Student Federal Tax Return), but unless the school contacts me, is there anything else I should be doing at this point to initiate financial aid/loans? Or does this process occur after acceptance?

Also, QUESTION--Can anyone think of ANY programs that are STILL accepting applications? Baypath and Augustana...Any others???

I believe Keck Graduate Institute is accepting applications until 02/01.

Thanks. I initially considered applying there, as they don't require a GRE if you have a master's, but I'm deficient a semester of gen chem by their requirements and the fee seemed HUGE to get another rejection. I guess it can't hurt to call them and see!

I got my Interview email on either Thursday or Friday, sent in my preferences Friday, and heard back from her today. When did send your preferences?

Just heard back from Stanford... didn't get in and trying not to feel discouraged :/ 

I'm sorry :( I can honestly say I know exactly how you feel right now (bc same) and it sucks. I think I'm going to do a little extra self-care this week and remind myself that this isn't the end, even if I don't get any more interviews. Despite saying that, I can still feel some sadness oozing out of me. It's a process I suppose...

No from Stanford! I am a little sad, but knowing the requirements and status of Stanford doesn't surprise me. I wonder if they filtered by using GRE scores. My quantitative was just 51% percentile, which is the weak spot in my applications.

I am bummed too, I have only gotten one interview so far and this is my second cycle applying. My heart is of course set on NW so fingers still crossed for that, but I'm worried with everyone who has talked about getting rejected from programs they were waitlisted at last year. I even went and met with the coordinators from the program over the summer at NW in an effort to see what I should improve, but I'm now anxious that will be my situation. I think I'm only sharing so that I have voiced my stress to a group of people who can really relate.
