Thanks, socanth!

I've been wondering about who does interviewing as well. Last year it looked like Berkeley didn't, but the year before there was at least one interview posted to the results board. Also spotty results for Chicago. I don't remember seeing much on school websites about this part of the process, but then again at the time I wasn't focusing on that, so who knows. Maybe it's time to go back and review some websites . . . If anyone has any school particulars, though, please share!

I posted the second Duke interview result. The message from Duke said that they are talking with a group of semifinalists and will make the final decision "the next week" (I don't know if that means next week or the week after--depends on when the interviews end). My interview is on Monday and is short, so I would guess that they are doing a series of interviews next Monday.

I just registered today because I have some questions about my applications. Also, I've applied at Duke and have received a writing sample request (though I am pretty sure I submitted one with my application) and know they are starting to look at applications. Anyway, I've also applied to some schools where my application status has been "submitted" for a while now. Does that necessarily change when a department is reviewing applications? I'm most worried about Berkeley but am also curious about UNC and Chicago. Have any of you applied to Berkeley, UNC, or Chicago and had your application status change recently? Thanks! And good luck to everyone. This has been a fun but stressful process.
