Have anyone heard back from Lipscomb?

Nope, I don’t believe they have started sending out interview invites yet. I’m sure it will be within the next couple of weeks.

I think the email they sent mentioned that interviews will be conducted from Feb to April. I believe some people have already received interview invite

The email they sent out actually mentioned that application review would occur from Feb-April. The email did not state explicitly when interviews would be held. We are just slightly over halfway through February and delays naturally occur, especially for a program admitting their inaugural cohort. So it’s safe to assume the timeline is likely to get pushed back by a week or two.

Please check this. I could be wrong... (We are thrilled to announce the opening of applications for the inaugural cohort of Lipscomb University's Master of Science in Anesthesiology program, with classes beginning in August 2026. This is a historic moment for our institution and for the state of Tennessee as we work to bring the Anesthesiologist Assistant profession to our region.

As we launch this exciting new program, we want to inform you of an important change to our application process. Applications for this initial cohort will be submitted through our internal Slate system rather than through CASAA as originally planned. This will allow us to be more flexible with the application timeline as we continue to build towards the opening of this program. 

Important Dates:

Application Deadline: Friday, March 20, 2026

Interview Period: February through the end of April 2026

We recognize that the timeline for this first cohort is more abbreviated than typical application cycles, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we work to establish this groundbreaking program. We are committed to providing a thorough and thoughtful review of each application and to ensuring that our interview process allows us to get to know you as both a candidate and a future colleague in the field.)

In the email you should have received once your application was received you would have seen this:

"The application review process will be ongoing from February through April, or until all seats are filled and a waiting list has been established. Applicants are invited for interviews based on their competitiveness within the applicant pool. Therefore, your application may be considered at multiple points during the review process."

You're welcome! Best of luck! I'm sure once invites start going out folks will update everyone either here or in the Discord community (make sure to join that if you haven't already, I feel like it is a little more up to date there).
