Was in tears when I got the email. I  applied the last two cycles with no interview invites.

Hi everyone,

Question for the ones that got interviews. Have you received the email providing information about the interviews? It has been over 48 hours since I received my interview invite, but still no email about interview format.

 

Thanks 

 

EDIT: I received my email this morning 8am mountain time.

Hey s111, I also haven’t received an email with info about the interviews. I got an email confirming receipt of my confirmation of attendance, but nothing else yet. Please post if you hear anything, and I will do the same!

ECs: Diverse but nothing amazing: Volunteering with vulnerable populations, sports, student government experience, worked throughout undergrad, research (no pubs, some presentations), etc.

Incredibly surprised to have gotten an Ottawa invite given my relatively low GPA
