Despite flight mishaps both ways, first interview weekend went well. I missed my flight there and thought I blew the interview already, but everyone was so kind to me. I was taken aback! Interviews with faculty made me nervous, but they felt like casual conversations. The director said that even though they have another interview weekend in a month, they will send decisions to our group next week or the week after. Hoping for my first acceptance.

Sort of a long shot here, but does anyone know the chances of getting an interview spot after being waitlisted by Rice? Obviously this varies by year and area, but I am curious

I missed my flight to my interview weekend last night because I went to the wrong airport ? they changed my flight to early this morning, and I won't miss much. I still feel terrible though and like I already blew the interview. Ugh. On my way to the CORRECT airport now though. This is my first and potentially only interview weekend, so I hope it goes well. I get to interview with faculty I never imagined I would meet in person, so that's exciting. I had a Skype interview with a different school last week and feel that was good practice.

Ok, I will hold onto a sliver of hope hahaha

Looks like no UPenn for me ?

Does anyone know if Columbia only sent out one wave of interview invites? Wondering if I should start writing off Columbia, UCSD, UW, Duke, and UT Austin as rejections...

Thank you. Appreciate it!

Dont lose hope yet!

This is the impression I have, too. Just wanted to make sure.

Lifting most days of the week, working on stuff for the easier classes I am taking this quarter, checking my emails, listening to podcasts, checking my emails, drinking matcha, and last but not least, checking my emails.

I'm mainly concerned about "optional" events and leaving more casual gatherings earlier than most. Are optional events truly optional? Is leaving early okay? I don't want to give off the impression that I am uninterested. Being around people all day AND interviewing with intimidating ones are just exhausting!

It's been silent treatment for me from most schools. It's strange and unsettling, but you're not alone.

Congrats! Knew you would get it

See title.

Had my first ever Skype interview today, and I think I did super well. The professor said my letters of rec were amazing, which was super comforting. Gives me hope for all of the places giving me the silent treatment right now ?

Crossing my fingers for a Penn interview ?

Feels like lots of news should come out this week...

I don't live there, but I visited the town once on a weekday. It is pretty small, and I didn't feel that there was much to do. Lots of older people and ISU undergrads. Take my insight with a grain of salt though

Oh, duh! I feel like an idiot now hahaha

My GPA is far worse than yours ? I'm interested in Bowles and Yu. Can't remember the other two off the top of my head. Did you apply to only master's?

Congrats. You have a nice profile for sure. Where did you apply?

I'm feeling afraid, too. But try to focus on something else in the meantime. Work, job searching, schoolwork, hanging with friends and family, exercise, cooking, and other hands-on hobbies that can eat up a lot of time. I think it's still early, and it seems like lots of us are anxious. It's not over until it's over, and it only takes one.

Flying to Phoenix tomorrow for a music festival That should distract me from checking my emails way too much. But I also hope I don't receive bad news tomorrow to ruin my weekend...

Does anyone know if UCSD is done sending out invites?

Literally same
