Hi everyone, I was emailed about a Skype interview for marquette two days ago. I'm not sure if that means anyone who didn't get an invitation to interview is automatically rejected. I was surprised it was so early.
Honestly, I wouldn't take that person too seriously. If you look, last year it was on the 27th and I imagine this person is trying to cause a panic. Horrible people....! Don't we feel ENOUGH anxiety??
I'm at the STM right now, and this year, almost every student who applied to a Phd program received an offer somewhere. It is becoming a very good school in terms of placing students at some of the top Phd programs, I'd say. Places like Notre Dame, Fordham, St. Louis University, Boston College to name a few.
