Cambridge Interview Invitation

Did anyone in the US get an invitation to be interviewed yet?

I applied for Math at Trinity, and so far no response.

I'm wondering if I either got rejected or if my application got lost in the mail...
Should I email them, or is it typical to take so long for a response?

I want to find out sooner so I can plan the flight...

Don't worry, you probably won't hear for a few more weeks. I don't think they start giving out interviews until the middle of November, at the earliest. I think that's when I started hearing last year.

I took the BMAT (Biomedical Admissions Test) last week. I applied to Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge. I heard invitations are sent out towards the end of November. Good luck, I hope to see some internationals over on the other side of the Atlantic!

I have the same doubts. I am anxiously checking my mail and email everyday for the invitation. But we should hear back by the next week or so, since internationals are notified three weeks prior to the interview.

Hello everyone,

I've applied to Trinity for Economics as well. I've also been suffering from interview-anxiety disorder, which I hope to go away soon.

Good luck everyone!

Hey guys,
Something really strange happened. I sent an email to the admissions person at Gonville and Caius asking when they would review BMAT scores and when would I know if I have been invited for an interview.
She emailed me back with an attached pdf, which contained a interview invitation for December 7th. I am ecstatic, but I don't understand how they could have graded the BMAT so quickly (I took it last Wednesday). Maybe they invite everyone for interviews......?

After reading around on some British forums, I think virtually everyone gets an interview invitation. You guys should just relax and be patient =)

^ O. In that case I do not feel so excited anymore that I got my invitation for Mathematics at Trinity.

It's December 9th for me though by the way...
