someone on **DELETED** just posted about it but I am currently spam refreshing email.

I believe they said in the meeting today that rejections would come out closer to the end of January/early February

Yeh, they said in one of the webinars that they'll move dates around to accommodate extenuating circumstances (including other interviews and religious reasons), unless you get an interview on their last interview day of the cycle. 

Congrats!!

[rainy 4]

Thanks 

I will send the request in

Congrats! I got an invite as well and also have a conflict with another interview. I just submitted the form to ask for an accomodation. If we couldn't make that day/time but still wanted to attend the interview at UT, do you know if we should have responded with "yes" or "no" when they asked if we were available for the interview on Feb 6?

I didn't get an invite yet. However, last year, I got my invite in March, and this is only the first round of offers, so we will likely hear back later.

They usually don't send rejections out until after the last wave of interview invites, so end of March. I believe last year they sent some out at the end of January/early February but the vast majority were end of March

[PotaToeZ 3]

Does anyone know when the next waves are going to be?

The other dates are March 7 and 21, so I would imagine you can expect to hear back around 2 weeks (or more) before those dates.

I clicked on "No" and explained at the bottom to see if they can fit me in for another date/time. Now I'm worried if I should have clicked on yes in case they interpret the 'no' as a decline to their offer! But at the same time, I didn't click on 'yes' cause I thought I wasn't available that day. 

Did you say, yes or no?

I have not done yet. I thought I would send them an email first and see what they would say if they reply. I think you should be ok because you have asked for accommodation.
