I applied to the MICaB and MCDB&G PhD programs at the University of Minnesota (the application deadlines were Nov. 30th and Dec. 1st, respectively). A friend of mine got an interview offer for MCDBG just before Christmas. The interviews for both programs are the last weekend in January and the first two weekends in February. Here's the thing--I haven't heard ANYTHING. No interview offers, no rejections, nothing. The online application system says "awaiting program decision" for both. I don't know if they do it on a rolling basis or not. I submitted both applications on the deadline date. How long should I wait before I email the program(s)? Arranging travel isn't an issue since I live in Minnesota and could go to the campus with virtually no notice. I'm assuming I wasn't accepted, but I want a definitive answer so I can start applying for research jobs and apartment hunting in Minneapolis. If I don't get in, I plan to reapply next year.
