<p>I’m getting really anxious now about not getting any interview requests as I have seen a few of my programs are sending them (CAMB, Cornell). Do I have a chance at my top schools (UPenn, Cornell)?</p>

382

<p>Nevermind Cornell. Just got the thanks for applying but we don’t want you letter. I’m sure upenn will be the same.</p>

383

<p>@diamedic17
you mean cornell did not give you a positive result? Don’t be panic, I am also waiting for Penn’s result.</p>

384

<p>Yea I got the Thanks but no thanks letter from Cornell, with Penn being a lot more selective I’m not getting my hopes up.</p>

385

<p>@diamedic17
Sometimes the school you thought to be safe might not be safe actually but the schools you thought which is more selective can actually give you the offer. Don’t be too panic and never lose your hope until the last minute.</p>

<p>Emory sent me an email around 1:30 today. Interviews are Feb 7-9 and Feb 19-20. Thanks gt3230, it is more of a relief than anything else. </p>

<p>Got an interview to Sloan-Kettering today also just like 20 min ago. </p>
