I haven't heard from them either. Does anyone know if they are still going to send out interview invites today, or are they waiting until Monday or some other day next week?

I have not gotten an email either. I have no idea when they are sending them out?? I was hoping today. Updates usually go out on Fridays.

Nope, I've checked my email literally 10 times today, but no new email about an interview! Maybe they will send them out next friday??

Have they ever sent invite emails out after 5 PM? It just sounds like waiting to send them out next Friday would be kind of late notice considering that interviews will be held beginning on the 24th. Then again, some schools have been known to give applicants exactly 7 days of notice before the actual interview date, so I guess it wouldn't be that short of notice...

I do not think they would send invites after 5 pm.

Are you a student? Why do you figure? Some of the emails from Emory that I've received were sent at 5am, which is outside business hours.

I have received emails only during office hours!

I've only received emails during business hours. I wish they would let us know when they were sending them out.

I agree. Why can't they just send a simple message stating that interview offers will be tentatively sent out on January Xth? Or better yet, why not do things like the majority of other programs do and send out interview offers as applications are reviewed (I.e., rolling admissions)? It just seems kind of ridiculous to have such a lengthy build-up to something as simple as sending out interview invites; it's almost as if they're government ambassadors waiting to send out "Official Invitations" to some sort of parliamentary function in Europe or something. Just send the damn e-mails out already! LOL.

Also, what's with them insisting on sending updates and interviews ONLY on Fridays? Why not send out the invites on Monday if they're already decided who to interview? Just ranting here...

Enough already. Do you realize how aggravating it is to read message after message of you having an anxiety attack over the most insignificant aspects of Emory's application process?

I can practically guarantee that you're not going to get an interview, and I'm confident in saying that because I know that you're fretting so much over this because you have such an uncompetitive application. If you were even remotely competitive, you wouldn't be on here having a heart attack freaking out over why they didn't send invites this Friday over next Friday, why they haven't sent anything by 4:13 PM, blah blah blah.

An individual who actually has a competitive application doesn't have to do what you're doing here -- knock it off and come back when you have one yourself.

Wow...you are mean. Best of luck to everyone...being anxious doesn't mean that you aren't competitive. Sometimes it just means that you are anxious.

I dislike Reality Check as much as the next person on here, but he does have a point.

When I submitted my application to Emory, I didn't frantically scan over online message boards looking for reassuring posts. I just let things play out as I felt confident in my application.

As we've discussed on here a million times, the Emory office is horribly disorganized so you not hearing something isn't necessarily indicative of anything good or bad.

Finally, a little bit of sense has been interjected into this thread, regardless of what btbam or anyone else thinks of my tough-love attitude.

If Emory really has been in the habit of contacting applicants on the Friday following the holidays for the last few application cycles, then I'm glad that trend has changed and applicants haven't been contacted yet. Why? Because that's a sign that they have a greater number of (hopefully) more competitive applications to review for this cycle, so it's taking them longer. Maybe this will help sift through some of the riff-raff like Dunce, et al.

You sound very assured of yourself... I hope you are not one of the dunces you just mentioned.

Just a heads up to everyone who's freaking out in this thread:

The interviewees who were extended an offer for the 2012 class during early admission have until Jan 13 to submit their responses. Don't expect any sort of interview offer until after then.

RELAX!

... Unless, of course, those who interviewed during the early admissions period have already submitted their decisions to Emory on whether or not they want to attend. I do think it looks somewhat unprofessional to wait until the last week-and-a-half before the interview dates to notify candidates. Hopefully, the admissions staff is using a bracket-based system to compare applications to each other (in other words, comparing the most competitive application from batch 1 to the most competitive application from batch 2 and deciding which one to grant the interview offer to, and so on).
