I saw this. I saw that the interviews for the MPP program went out over two weeks, so I am hoping they weren't all sent out on Monday.

Me too...Curious if the emails were sent by individual supervisors separately, or the admissions team in one batch. Just that normally all interview invites were sent before the end of Feb, so the hope is getting significantly thinner day by day at this moment if nothing is received so far.

Thank you! Good luck to you. For reference, I got the email at about 2.45pm and portal didn't change until roughly 4.45pm
