hey Osgood, thanks for information;
they have 8 spots and they only interview on one day?! that'll be a circus, and I hope to be invited...
if it's the same from last year, they'll send out their invites a week from now on Friday 12/9; they'll be the last program to send out their first wave invites.
good luck, folks.
EDIT 12 hours later: I am sorry to be starting rumors; out of the numerous programs I had applied, HSS will be the last one to send out first wave invites. I apologize for having been so unqualified in my statement.
