I didn't hear anything !

I don't think that is correct information about the NOSM invites. They would not send out early interviews, they send them out on the same day.

A few other applicants in this cycle told me that but I’m not sure where they heard! :$

I would say that it will be tomorrow or Wednesday. They told me "early in the week" via email, but I also know they are allowing graduate students to provide proof of degree completion until Tuesday at 4:30. That said, I would guess they will wait until this information is submitted before they send out interview information. I would also guess that the person who posted stats may have been trolling to stress others out.

I also suspect a troll. 

I got that email this weekend. When I read message preview and realized it was from from NOSM admissions, my stomach jumped into my throat. :/ 

I am hoping Wednesday at the latest.

Its almost like they are trying to torture us ... At this point we are mid-week. I have been trying to tell myself to just pretend its coming end of January and stop thinking about it. I havent stopped thinking about it and my mailbox is getting tired of being refreshed ... 

[faraway-9 21]

I'm really overwhelmed as well. I'm so so tired.

[Applicantnovice 6]

I have no patience at this point and even tried to call them now - but they said to leave a message and they will call us back.... arghh ... 

[faraway-9 21]

I think it is not coming out today. They usually come out in the morning.
