To the person who got the Oxford interview, well done! Could you tell me if this was for a campus interview, or if it was for a skype interview? You could PM me if you didn't want to say publicly. Thanks

Emailed one of my POIs a very polite email asking whether she's finished sending out interview invites. I'm pretty sure all the department invites have gone out by looking at the results page. She hasn't emailed back in 2 days but has time to go on twitter! I just think its just a joke that we pay all this money to be treated like crap! Sorry to vent but it wouldn't take much to just send a quick email saying that she has and that's it. Urgh

Haha no worries! I thought as much.

Oh bollocks!

Is that for all departments or just for clinical? Commiserations by the way, just saw in your signature

I haven't heard a peep!

Thank you so much for this! It's so easy to just lose your mind when you see stuff like this - just got to remember you don't know what's going on behind the scenes

Dear the person who posted the UIC social result, congrats on your interview! Could you PM me your POI?

ARGH agonising, but at least we can go on to live another day of hope for the time being!

I don't think all of them have just yet...I think they might have been talking about those already posted on the results board

I was wondering whether I could pick your brains a little being an international student, albeit a little different to my situation but international nonetheless. Did you find out about interviews at relatively the same time as other candidates? Or were you not aware of this site when you were applying? Just curious to know whether international students are considered separately

I really don't know about this. I'm applying for the social track in Yale but have had the same experience. I took it to mean that either my POI hadn't got round to it, or that they just hadn't bothered sending specific rejection notices and would just let the genetic ones around march do. You're explanation is equally as plausible though! I guess we won't know until we know. I'm taking no news as good news at the moment, despite how foolish that may be haha!

Any international applicants in the process at the moment? Or any international applicants been through this process before? How has the experience been different? Have things taken longer to go through? Any differences with interviews, as I take it most international students unless from Canada, will not be able to make it?

Thanks for your reply Munashi! Just curious, any international students out there who have done this before? Was the phone interview done? I was thinking it would seem pretty weird to hold two phone interviews or like a phone and a Skype one. Unlike the American students who will attend weekends, we won't be able to. Just wondering whether they would then favour one skype interview instead?

Furthermore, if anyone would like to share their experience about their phone interview (not specifics but loosely) then please do. I have a few questions: how did the phone interview come about? Did they ring you out of the blue? or did they set it up for a few days later? How long did it last? Sorry guys, panicky international student here! Just don't want to miss out due to time difference etc
