I had a phone interview with my POI a couple weeks ago and it sounded like I was her last invite (she already had four others), but their second interview date isn't until the 20th so some may still be extending invites!
At what point after interviews is it appropriate to contact the program regarding admissions decisions? And who would be the best person to contact (POI, DCT, other administrator)?
Yes I'd like to know as well if you don't mind. There hasn't been anything posted on the results page, and I had heard that it may take a few weeks for offers to go out since they're also in the process of hiring a new faculty member.
A friendly reminder to everyone to please post here (http://thegradcafe.com/survey/post.php)
whenever you receive any interview OR admissions offers! I'm sure a lot of us are holding out hope if we don't see any posts on there, so it'd be helpful to have as many people as possible posting this information in the same place.
Best of luck to everyone!
On the results page someone said that they called the office and they confirmed that all interview notifications had been sent out as of January 17th and there was a low chance that a second wave would go out
I second this! All of my interviews were pretty much just conversations about research interests and questions I had about the program, and it actually ended up being a really enjoyable experience in the end!
Thanks! That's actually really helpful. And you're right, probably best not to worry about it since it's out of our control now. Best of luck to you as well!
This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know if USC has extended admissions offers yet? The interview day was January 13th (10 days ago), so it seems like offers should be coming soon if they haven't already...
Does anyone know how long it typically takes for programs to come back with a decision after interviews? And will they only notify the people to whom they're offering admission, or will they tell everyone at the same time if they've been accepted/waitlisted/rejected?
