so much for my theory about hearing from michigan today... wah wah

I was most thrown off by how they asked the questions. some of my interviews had a sort of circuitous way of getting to the question. So, I'm mostly hoping I understood what they were asking....haha

I just wanted to chime in with some of the questions i've been asked for those who still have interviews coming up: Why X university? Why do you feel this it the place for you to do your graduate work? What sort of theory/issues do you hope to engage? What are your plans to carrying out your research? What are you looking for in a graduate program? I also got a lot of specific questions about the interdisciplinary overlaps of my project. How do you plan to engage outside your department, etc. Hope this helps other people to prepare! There is nothing worse than being thrown for a loop in an interview.....so unnerving!

Congrats to today's acceptees!

PMing you!

Ahhh so I just had my interview with Chicago, which I think went well over all. But I always end up saying something so stupidly awkwaarrrrrrd. Ugh....

Hahaha Thanks. This one has been the biggest surprise yet as I didn't think the fit was very good. I got the notice very late Tuesday night.

They seem to be doing them this week. I have one this afternoon but that is not mine on the survey today.

Wow! A LOT of good news from irvine. Congrats all!

My feeling is that they will announce by the end of the week. Based on last years posts and my impatient desire to knoooow

I received an email from the graduate coordinator a few hours after the call. Though, perhaps as an international applicant they aren't planning on inviting you to the recruitment weekend even though they plan to accept you

All I was told was that my POI and another professor were interviewing finalists. It seems like they were doing us back to back. I don't know if other POIs were handling it differently.

My scores? I think they are pretty average. I took the GREs back in 2009. They were a 710 verbal and a 680 Quantitative. 4.5 Writing. I don't know what that means for todays GREs

I just had my interview. I honestly don't know how it went as it was quite short (20 minutes ish) but we had a lot of common interests with my POI, so....we'll see!

congrats Magiaepasta!

He said that there would be emails coming in the next few days so don't give up hope anyone!

Thanks NoWay and Sarah B. I'm seriously in shock... I never expected this application season to go so well

Brown has made their decisions. I just got a call from the dept. chair and I'm in! There is an admitted students weekend March 6-8

i think everyone is too nervous to post

i wouldn't assume that because one went up that they are finished contacting people. if it is based on poi they could go out at a number of different times. I say that but I also am not expecting to get in to Chicago. The fit was a stretch. So, I dunno... wait and see! Nothing is over til it's over.

I'm actually wishing more people would look at my Academia page. The only hits I've been getting are from one of the places I'm already accepted, which is great but I'd hope to see some of the others popping up as well

today has already seen more activity than most of last week! Good luck every one!

Looks like a rough day for duke applicants. Keep your heads up guys!

I spent all day yesterday expecting to hear from Brown....come oooooooooooon

Flights booked to visit. So excited!
