I had a brief interview yesterday morning with the commission. I saw that you also received an invitation for an interview. Hope it went well! : )

Good luck to you as well, then! What UK institution did you apply to? I agree, and think waiting until the end of this week is reasonable. I've spoken to a few people and the consensus is that interviews are staggered so there seems to be a reason to still wait.

That is so helpful. I have given up hope, but maybe I'm thinking a little too far into the future. I applied to the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. I don't know anyone who has received an interview there as of yet. But I know the possibility obviously exists. I know students at my current institution that have received invites from their respective UK institutions, which also made me feel a little less hopeful. I assume it is a good time to start applying to other plans to ensure that I don't miss any deadlines. But you still think there is potential for SOAS interviews being called out at this stage? I know SOAS is the 3rd or 4th most applied to UK institution according to statistics from last year. Thank you for the advice!

Is it normal to assume I won't be given a UK partnership award interview if I haven't heard back via email yet? Trying to decide how committed I should be to applying to Plan B programs. Any incite would be so helpful.

Is there always an interview for the UK awards? Has there been a situation where a student is awarded w/o an interview? Thanks!

Congratulations! What program?

Also a UK semi-finalist. Any ideas on when we hear back for interviews?
