@CeXra The part has me losing hope is that the site says notifications about recommendation requests would come in January or early February ☹️ I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that they are just super behind with processing apps this year.
Good luck!
Hey @CeXra! I'm in the same boat. My status says under consideration but I haven't received a call or email last year interviews were conducted in February....
I would just send a follow up email to the sponsoring professor or call the director. In my experience, directors are always happy to hear from applicants. Good luck!
I know because I was accepted without an interview and I talked to the program director last week and she told me about the number of applicants.
IDK about the timeline of acceptance notifications.
