I guess no one has heard from NYU since the 16th? Kinda weird.

Just had a very smooth interview with UPenn; I'm supposed to hear from them in about 2 weeks. The person I had an interview with is coming to UMass at the same time. >___> If I don't get accepted...

Didn't I tell you?! Hope you get accepted, and you should definitely go to make a good impression. I had both of my interviews with Maryland today, and my secondary POI said that I was one of their top choices because of my wide range of interests. Maryland is definitely one of my top two choices along with MIT, so I hope they want me. :< Oh, and for people who had an interview with Maryland: you can still get accepted if you don't get invited to the open house.

Apparently he had some problems traveling to Maryland and we just rescheduled it to Sunday. *phew*

I'll send them an email now.

My POI (Maryland) was supposed to interview me 2 hours ago, but he didn't call me. ._.

I meant two separate interviews, not at the same time. Maybe Maryland is the only place that does this.

I didn't contact a single POI, and I'm a.. hmm, somewhere between a US and an international student (US dual citizen who lives overseas and goes to US for college).

Interview, but you shouldn't give up yet, look at what happened to me.

Hooray!

Where did you apply? People don't send interview requests all around at once and it usually seems to be pretty informal. There's still hope! He said he read my file with interest and wanted to talk to me on the phone, that's it really.

They have similar research interests, but I had one main POI and I guess the other one wants to interview me for fun. He said he was very impressed with my app, maybe that's why.

I'll take the advice of the previous post and not state the obvious.

I didn't expect two emails, though. I've never heard of that happening before. Looks like Garyon swore off posting until he gets an interview email..

I got two emails from Maryland. I guess I'll have interviews with both of my POIs ._.

I got an email from Maryland for an interview!!!! Yay!!

NOOOO Not UPenn too!!!

You want a guy to get you pregnant with no regard for what he wants. Do you realize how selfish that is?

Sniff... :<

People are still getting emails from NYU and Maryland, so not all hope is lost. :<

I think you should describe your situation to him and see what he can come up with.

I'd say you shouldn't in the SOP. In my second writing sample for certain universities though, which was a paper on syntax, I used a lot of example sentences like "that Gary married his own grandmother pleases him" and "I hope to get accepted to grad school." Personally it makes reading linguistics papers a lot more interesting for me, when the examples are funny too, and my professor said it wouldn't be a problem if I had example sentences like that when I applied. I guess that might be one place in which humor is okay.

Thanks fuzzy. Apparently some Maryland people got interview emails very late January in the past, so it's not too late yet. I thought it was a really good fit for me so I'd honestly be surprised if I didn't at least get an interview. Anyway, I'm at UMass now, if feel free ask any UMass questions!

On my trip back to America today, it turns out that Lufthansa won't be able to give me my baggage until Tuesday. =_= no winter jacket, laptop or clothes for days. Hope I can end this crappy day with some damn interview emails!!! Also fuzzy, would you happen to know anyone who lives in Lowell, MA from MIT or Harvard? I've been getting a lot of views from there. You can PM me if you wish.

I haven't heard anything from Maryland or NYU. Maybe I should just give up. On the other hand, I got like 10 Googles today. Pretty weird.
