don't sweat the odds at kentucky guys...I seriously doubt they will be interviewing 40 each day. When I was there last year, there were about 20-25 of us. THey will need a new place to interview if they want to pile another 15-20 guys in, because it was pretty crowded.

For those people who got Nebraska interviews--

When did you get your invite? Did you get a Dec. 13 option, or is that only for Nebraska and Creighton applicants?

I wish it was miami but they said blow me, I guess I'll have to settle for Greenville. By the way not only do you get about 700 interview dates to choose from but they take the time to book you a hotel on them, yeah you heard correct just show up and they'll take care of the rest. I wonder if I can get room service and maybe a message with a happy ending too.

UT-San Antonio offered 4 dates (15 each day): 12/8, 12/13, 12/16, or 1/10 with an "optional" gathering at the chairman's home the night before. Oh, and they also perform federal background checks on all interviewees "at no cost to us."

anybody want to trade their UTSA for Wash-U?? :cry:

Also got UTSA for the above dates. Took Dec. 8.

Texas Tech by phone call for Dec. 6. The doctor who called was extremely nice and it was a welcome change from the traditional email. :D

If anyone is going to either of these let me know. It's nice to finally be back on this side after spending too much time on the rejection thread.
