<p>If you have, when did you submit your application? </p>
<p>Past applicants, did you get an interview and did most people you know who applied get interviews?</p>
<p>I have. I submitted mine sometime in November, but got contacted last week.</p>
<p>I guess I count as a “past applicant” now :)</p>
<p>Interviews are given to 50% of all those that are in the applicant pool. Do NOT think getting an interview means a lot. I was never interviewed, and was accepted into the Vagelos LSM Dual-Degree program. Another applicant from my school was, and he was flat-out rejected from Penn. </p>
<p>So, the moral/lesson of the story: As an RD applicant, you will be contacted on or before Feb 29, 2012 about an admissions interview. If you don’t get one, relax–you still have a chance! If you do get one—give it your all!</p>
<p>Do you think that it’s more for students who are not in the “Definitely Accept” pile and not in the “definitely reject” pile either?</p>
<p>I haven’t been contacted. But for reasons above, not worried. :)</p>
<p>@4yorkshiremen: Not really. It’s completely random—unless you applied for Nursing or M & T. Those applicants are almost required/guaranteed an interview. Most of the time, it may be via Skype (for those applicants).</p>
<p>Thanks hardworking21 
Reassuring information. By the way, congrats on the acceptance!!! :D</p>
<p>I was emailed for a phone interview because I applied to M&T. However, he hasn’t replied in several days.</p>
<p>@AforAmbition: Thanks! Good luck to you! Hope you’re a Quaker Class of 2016!</p>
