Salome's Beef

Just a follow up, I interviewed yesterday (Monday), and they asked me basic questions about what I was specifically interested in with regards to the program, about my background and about my purposed area of study. It was a 15-20 minute Skype convo with 5 professors and a grad student. I then got an email today from the Director of Graduate Studies with my acceptance into the program!

Thanks for the responses! I just got another email today saying it's going to be 20 minute interviews and they're interviewing a "number of applicants". No idea what that means. Colormelovely: I applied to the Communities and Identities concentration focusing on Indigenous Religions.

Hi all, I just received an email from Syracuse University asking me to Skype with them this Monday. I was surprised by this email, because I only applied to Masters programs this year, and I was under the impression that you only interview for PhD admissions. Am I mistaken? Is this normal for Masters degrees? Should I expect to interview at other places? Also, what should I expect during this skype session, is there anything in particular I should be prepared for? Thanks! KW
