It doesn’t sound like they’ve sent any yet. I just emailed them yesterday. They told me the commity was still reviewing applications and would be for the next few days. So I don’t think today is the last day to hear from them. kelly14 1
GC2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Today is the last day to hear back from Emory! Has anyone heard anything?

Not sure how long they are expecting that to take them, but guessing it would be into at least next week (but don't quote me on that! )
TAGC Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Wisconsin interview as well! KCGC, Nefelibata, agct664 and 2 others 5

It makes it a bit easier to remain patient ?
gene13 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Do programs take note if you are a second-time applicant? For example, let's say I complete the required classes for 4 schools and apply but don't get in anywhere. In the meantime, I have completed more classes and now qualify for those 4 schools plus 4 more. Will the initial schools look down on me reapplying? Will the new schools know I'm a second-time applicant?

Will the new schools know I'm a second-time applicant? Schools actually tend to look favorably on applicants who are re-applying if they have shown improvements to their application. Re-applying and making those improvements shows dedication and that you know this is what you want. If you apply to new schools your second time, they will not know you are a second time applicant.

Will the new schools know I'm a second-time applicant? I think the schools you already applied to will like to see your perseverance, especially if you've greatly improved your application. It shows that you really know that this is what you want to do. I don't think the new schools will know you're a second time applicant unless you tell them. I worked it in to my admission statement that I had previously applied and when I didn't get in I did a different Master's but have come back to genetic counseling since. gene13 1

Will the new schools know I'm a second-time applicant? YES. Also know if you don't get in, at the end of the cycle you can ask for review and see what their suggestions are. I think a lot of people on this board will agree, applying the second time to the same program actually feels more difficult. But it also says "I'm still here, and I'm STILL trying!" gene13, TAGC, Nefelibata and 1 other 1 3
hfj23 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 this is random but at the bottom of the Wisconsin invite email there is a little note that I think they forgot to delete lol. It's not a big deal i just thought it was kind of funny Nefelibata, agct664, TAGC and 1 other 2 2

As excited as I am to be getting interviews it is going to be a scheduling (and budgeting) nightmare.. 34 minutes ago, Raerae32 said: Does anyone know if they are sending all of the invites today? I would assume they are sending them all out today, but think they probably have a waitlist as well. So not getting one today isn't actually a rejection. There are people that will turn down interviews! Edited January 31, 2018 by KCGC FutureGC7 1
AspiringGC Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I basically be started all my persona statements flat out telling everyone I was a secondtike applicant. Every school I applied to before obviously would have known, but I didn’t hide it from the three new ones I applied to. So far it’s worked favorably. I have an interview with a school I previously applied to and then one with a new school I applied to. I have yet to hear from the other 6, so we’ll see gene13 1
GC2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 literally refreshing my email 100 times in anticipation to hear back from emory :/
