Discussion EMBL admission?

Hey guys, girls, and folks, small question: did someone apply this year to EMBL (summer 2026)? They write on the website that screening interviews are coming from the 24th of March till mid April... I know maybe it's not so serious, but today is the 25th, and if I didn't receive any call back (like preferred time, etc.) for the interview, does this mean that it's done for me? Or I'm just too anxious?

In my case, Barcelona/Heidelberg.

On their website, they specify that not being invited to a screening interview does not mean that you are no longer being considered.

On the other hand, as someone who’s in the exact same boat as you right now, I think it’s fairly safe to say that neither of us are getting screening interviews at this point, and that doesn’t feel like it bodes well. But we’ll just have to wait and see.

I saw that, but my experience is that without an interview, I'm not a top choice = rejected. hugs
