No more iv dates for some programs - trio

[ArchivalUser]

I do not mean to cause a panic but I just learned today that some programs already have their IV dates booked up to January. Where does this put the applicants that are still expecting news from these programs? Iv's in Febuary? I heard this rumor a while back but didnt believe it until I heard from someone in a program.
God help us all! Its a cold cold world out there!
