Ok, there should be a thread for these too (why should interviewees have all the fun).

Indiana via snail mail: offered no dates and told me to go fellate myself.

My wife is going to be soooo happy we don't have to move to Indiana.

big e,

i would call and before saying your name, ask them if it is ok to know the status of your application, if they seem reluctant don't pursue it but if they say sure...

I agree with J-roid in that calling can make a difference, admissions people probably have 100's of similar applications in front of them and anything can tip them one way or the other, in my opinion.

I've got 1 invite and 3 "regrets" so far (by email)... wonder if a phone call would work as well for me as it did for J-roid?

Curious to know if the date of application submission has any bearing? Does submitting early make a difference versus submitting later (but before the deadline)?

Howdy, just to join the chat here on rejection: I'm chilling at a top 10 school, and the 10/14 who are applying orth and weren't AOA aren't hearing anything either. I freaked out today and called all my programs to see when they sent things out......and pretty much if a school has ANY december interview dates, they have sent things out already.

So question and advice:
Question: have y'all been getting notified of rejection or calling to find out?
Advice: I'd recommend calling the programs you haven't heard from to ask when interview invites go out: called today and my call got me on the 'waitlist' at a state program and actually INVITED to interview at another school I had been dinged from.

But bottom line, helpless waiting is harsh. GOOD LUCK!

I'm on one helluva streak. I think of gotten all the rejects from the last two pages except Emory, UNC, Georgetown, and Columbia...and that's only b/c I didn't apply to those places. Son of a beotch, after starting off well I'm now going down. I need a cold one.
