Does anyone know if the interview invite emails have been released yet. Still nothing here, losing hope

Nothing here yet...they'll probably wait until the afternoon. Don't lose hope! This is an exciting time. Enjoy it!

Definitely agree with you egiles--I am quite sure invites haven't even begun being sent yet (I'm sure we'll hear when they do somehow), and it's MUCH too early to lose hope! At least we know that all invites will go out today instead of on a rolling basis. The wait will actually be much shorter, relatively

Any word from Ross if they plan to send it out in two batches? Or is it today and bust?

Well...Soojin Kwon's blog post says, "It looks like we’re on track to make our goal of getting interview invitations out by this Friday, January 17th. Interviews will be conducted January 21 to February 24." To me, that sounds like all invites will be sent today.

Interview Invites will go out at the end of the day. They were released at approximately 4:30pm EST in round 1.

Subscribing to this thread and setting an email reminder for new posts wasn't a great idea. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

I feel like its a roller coaster every single time i get an email. I don't hate it. We have to take this process with a grain of salt. Some will get invites and others wont, but at least we have a community to get through this with. Imagine doing this at your desk without a community to talk with, get advice from. etc... Its all relative.. Gotta keep perspective. That said, its nerve-wracking right now. Good luck folks. AK
