Yeah I think I will be going ? I live in the Chicago area, so it will just be a short bus ride for me to get on their campus

Congrats!!! I also got into Chicago today!! Are you going to their open house?

So for all three they asked pretty similar questions: (1) what did you do in your undergrad career (research experience etc.) (2) what do you want to do in graduate school (research plan) (3) Why our department (4) what do you want to learn in grad school. (5) what questions do you have for us Length varies. The one with Yale lasted about 20 mins, mostly because I am interested in syntax/sentence processing, but my interviewers were a semanticist and a phonologist and they were visibly uninterested in my research background and plans (for some reason my POIs that I mentioned in my statement were not there) so we didn't talk much. So I wasn't so surprised that I was eventually waitlisted. As for Maryland and uChicago, they both lasted around one and a half hours.

I think professors are sending out invites individually, so it really depends on who your POI is. Also if you identified multiple POIs in your application, you might get more than one skype interviews. I feel like the professors at umd are just interviewing whoever at whenever they want, so keep an eye on your inbox: it can be any time now

I did mine with Yale, Maryland, and Chicago Have three more scheduled and haven't heard back from the rest.

Warning: if you feel like the results section is too much and you don't want any more of anything similar, this is not for you. I found this on reddit: (someone did a comprehensive summary of the GC results section) It might be helpful if you would like to get a sense of when to expect what. (scroll a few posts down for linguistics)

Yes indeed, I probably spent too much time just refreshing that page and digging back to results from previous years only that in my case I saw linguistics departments that I applied to sending out interviews to other people but not me, and that just stressed me out even more. Now I am limiting myself to one visit per day to the results section, so that I can actually be productive when I'm on my laptop

Me too! I am into psycholing/sentence processing/syntax, and Maryland seems to be the one!

I did!
