The phrase describes online discussions, predominantly on the Reddit platform, concerning invitations to interviews for various programs (e.g., graduate school, medical residency, jobs) anticipated to take place during the application cycles spanning 2024 and 2025. For instance, prospective medical students might use specific subreddits to share their interview invitations, compare timelines, and discuss the schools that have invited them for interviews.
Information aggregation and peer support are critical functions of these online communities. Applicants benefit from real-time data points regarding interview waves, acceptance rates, and perceived competitiveness. Historical context lies in the increasing reliance on online platforms for information sharing within application processes, fueled by the accessibility and speed of digital communication. The discussions provide a valuable, albeit anecdotal, complement to official admissions data.
