Actually I knew a few people who already got their invites for interview before last week. So not sure about your statement about going out on Friday this week.

Actually I knew a few people who already got their invites for interview before last week. So not sure about your statement about going out on Friday this week.
Really? Hmmmm... it's very interesting that nobody in this forum has received an invitation, or any other update.
I wouldn't worry too much guys. Went through the process last year -- people seemed to all be contacted around the same time. Given there is a national crisis going on in Houston I'm sure they have a lot on their plate. Keep positive thoughts and good luck!
Wanted to chime in that I also heard from a current EISO that, per a message from the EIS Office - "no intvw offers have been made yet, but they hope to start making offers by the end of the week" So, i think for those of us that haven't heard, hopefully things will start moving end of this week beginning of next.
Just received a rejection e-mail indicating that I was not invited for an interview. A little disappointed, but I know that this means a better opportunity is out there for me. I suspect that applicants who weren't rejected will be receiving an invitation for interview very soon.
Join the club! My eyes glazed over the e-mail and my heart sunk for a moment, but I'm feeling better already.
Rejection letter here too. Felt sad for 5 minutes and gave myself a pat on the back for even trying. I know people who were not bold enough to try because they couldn't bear the rejection. Moving on to something better...... Congratulations to all who got invites.
I'm not an MD applicant, so I had just started a postdoc when I applied the first time. Wrote and published extensively.

I got an interview as well! Congratulations to those who were also selected, and best wishes to those who didn't get interviews.... I hope you apply again or find an even better opportunity!!
It is a really friendly experience: don't worry, just relax, and be yourself. There will be about 200 people interviewed this week and next and 60 people accepted. They will be letting people know about acceptance/denials/wait-list mid-to-late October and aim to complete any pre-match assignments by mid-November. Hope that helps!

Thank you DVMEpi for sharing your experience. Are they only accepting a total 60 applicants this year? (US residents and International)

Thank you, Riley13! My interview is tomorrow, I'm excited and sort of nervous. I know they are pretty relaxed down to earth folks after having met them at the EIS conferences. Despite it I'm still nervous. I wish everyone the best of luck!

It actually wasn't so bad. It was nice meeting everyone, from applicants to the CDC team. They are very friendly and down to earth. Don't be nervous just go in excited about your dream job!
The unfortunate part is that they are expecting funding cuts and therefore may only accept 50-60 officers from 172 applicants. This may change depending on what they actually get, they still don't know. Everyone I met was exceptional and inspirational and it is going to be a very tough task choosing EIS officers this year.
Wishing us all the very best of luck!
ouch! the odds keep getting lower and lower. and I agree, the pool of candidates is simply amazing!
Wow congrats! What a quick turnaround. Hopefully EIS will be just as swift with the notifications.

During interviews they said by mid-late October we should know who got accepted.
I logged into the application portal and I read this
- The EIS Selection Committee meets in early December.
- You will be notified by January 1 of the committee's decision.
Hmmm... please say it isn't so The agony!

They told our group late October to mid November. But hopefully other timelines are correct
I would guess that that’s an automated status update that hasn’t been changed from previous cycles. But maybe that’s optimistic.

To the people who've been called, can you share a bit of information about yourself? MD/PhD, international etc?
Thanks!
US resident, RN, second time applying
Did you get the follow up email? Still waiting on that and worried I hallucinated the call until I see something in writing.

Congrats!!!
Out of curiosity... they mention how many they are accepting this year? I know they were waiting on funding to determine class size.
