Hi @CNLbound17 congratulations again. (this is Beauty13) I was reading your threads.... Because I am so concern about not having gotten an invitation email interview yet... how long did it take for you to get an interview, after your status changed to committee ready? and did you call them after waiting for so long before you got an invitation interview. I know its diff with everyone.

Hi everyone! Congratulations to those who have gotten in already, I'm so happy for you! I've been reading this thread for a while and everyone has been so helpful and as it seems I'm not the only one stressing out as the time keeps going by. I submitted my application in late July and I didn't get an interview email until September. I had my interview on September 26th and they told me I should hear back within 3-6 weeks. Today is 3 weeks and 1 day so as you can guess I'm definitely stressing out. Just wanted to share incase my timeline helped anyone or was similar to what anyone else is going through. Good luck and stay positive!

Hello @Poshest! Well, I applied VERY early along with a few others on this site. so during that process, most people were contacted within a few weeks of each other...however some folks' got interview invites immediately after their status changed and others it was a few weeks after. I never called the office because I knew from previous experiences that it's hit or miss when contacting their office. I'm sure they will contact you soon. the waiting and anxiety is the hardest part of this process. Good luck to everyone!

I also wanted to leave a tidbit for anyone finishing up their prerequisites. Although, you have to do well in ALL your sciences, I have heard that Chemistry is VERY important, they look at this as a determining factor, it is important to do well in this course and to have completed it before applying so DO NOT wait until your last semester of prereqs to take Chemistry. Just a FYI...

@poshest, mine status changed on friday, three weeks of my interview and got the invitation on monday after that friday. So it took about 3weeks. Sorry it took long to respond, I am freaking out with worry and anxiety as I wait for a decision, lol. And yes I called Ms. Jackson and she told me it takes 4-6 weeks to make a decision, so I was wondering why I called in the first place, I guess they are very busy tidying up, which makes me wonder if they are done admitting already. I guess we applied late but I think they are still inviting people for interviews. Someone wrote that he was invited last week? Not sure, so keep your hopes up because we are all freaking out. @CNL_APPLICANT, I interviewed on the 29th, but I have not heard anything. You got it right, the wait is almost unbearable as I spend each day searching how I did on the interview. My essay was good, and I did well on the writing piece, but I'm not sure how I did on that interview which is why I search myself for answers everyday. Lol. I know they will definitely make a decision soon and it will either be admitted or rejected, either way, I just want to know asap so I can arrange my life. I'd rather it be admitted!

@cnl_inclined I know, I'm constantly checking my status and staring at my phone praying for a phone call. It's so hard trying to keep your mind occupied on other things, I just want to know already! I want to tell myself I did well but you just never know especially since it's out of my hands now...which is so scary. Hang in there though and I hope we all hear something soon (and by soon I mean a few days not weeks lol)

@cnl_applicant, I did not know they call! I thought you are only supposed to know by checking your status. I am guessing they might post something by this friday. You are completely right on hearing within days and not weeks. It feels reliving to know it is not just me that they have not responded to. I looked at and calculated the time frame for all the people that have been accepted and they were all within 2 weeks to few days before they clocked three weeks and I was beginning to freak out asking if they have rejected me already. But now that I see you are waiting I understand they may be doing it in batches. I wish we will both be successful, and others too who so want this as much as I do

@cnl_inclined Yes! I was told during my interview that if they are accepting you they give you a phone call and then send an email before you receive anything in the mail. From what I'm reading on this thread though it looks like people's statuses have changed online prior to the phone call though which is why I keep checking. But yes it sounds like we are in the same sort of time-frame so I'm really praying we hear something soon (and that it's a yes lol)
