I have a very quick suggestion; feel free to disregard at your convenience. It seems that some of us are going back to edit our original posts, instead of posting them in real time. While we can see all the interviews that one person is being offered, it is more valuable to have a chronologic record of all e-mails programs are sending out. Most of us read a thread when we see a new reply, rathre than editing of old posts. please do post a new reply when you've a new offer. thank you and good luck!

If I read that people were offered interviews from a school on the forum that I also applied to, but have not heard yes/no...do I assume a NO and that they will not send a rejection letter, or do I assume more of a waitlist status if an interview position opens up later (which means they aren't thinking too highly of me in the first place) or do I assume that they send out interviews at different times once committees get around to them?? is it we send out the best first and all at once type deal??

reply to Kimball; I don't know this any more than anyone else, but just my two cents. Programs may have different ways of sending things out:
1) like case western, with 3 interview days separated by several weeks, they seem to send out invites for each specific day;
2) some program will identify what their top candidates, and give all those people all of the interview days; some applicant will not reply, and a few days later the open spots are sent to a few other a bit lower on their list, now with more restricted days
3) there are other methods, such as rotators for one specific day and everyone else another day, and other random/seemingly undecipherable methods

bottom line to make this thread most useful: programs will have multiple recipient for their invite e-mails, and we hope to have at least one recipient post the relevant info: date, program, interview dates offered

With these information, you make your own decision. good luck.

UCLA just now (11.14) for 12/10 or 1/21

Yale this morning (11.14) by email
Offered 12/9 and 1/6

Why does every program have to choose the same friggin' weekend in January?!

Also - though they haven't sent notifications yet, some unannounced interview dates. Keeping my fingers crossed, as always...
Brown will be interviewing 1/10 and 1/11
NYU-HJD will be interviewing 1/27, 2/2 and 2/8
Tufts will be interview 1/7 and 1/8
