  1. Haha That's about what I gathered. This is my first cycle applying so I do not know what is typical of UW. Maybe our applications are so stellar they don't feel the need to interview us! haha
  2. In the same boat. I haven't been contacted either.
  3. That would be a relief. I had a dream that I was cold called at 3 am for an interview last night! The struggle is real! haha
  4. I hear if you login and check your status like 20 times per day then your chances of getting an email increase. Is this true?
  5. Another fellow applicant here so take my advice with a grain of salt. From my understanding, a master's can definitely help, especially if your undergraduate performance was less than stellar; however, I know there are others on here that have gotten into phd programs without a master's, so it is not absolutely necessary. I wonder what percentage of students possess master's when they enroll? I'm currently completing a second master's, but I know that is not the norm. Ultimately, I think it all depends on how well you performed as a undergraduate and how much promise you would show as a prospective graduate student. I think that by already having a master's you can help allay some of those fears. Of course, picking up a master's isn't exactly cheap. Therefore, if you feel you will be a competitive candidate with only a undergraduate degree (strong LORs, test scores, GPA, research experience, etc) then you might as well give it a shot. If that doesn't work out, pick up a master's and try again.
  6. Lol. That's basically me right now
  7. AULDReekie-- I guess I qualify as one of the 'lurkers' so I made an account! Good luck to everyone!
