    Thanks! Yeah, it's quite encouraging cause I was really losing my hope.... I am more curious to hear that they usually do an interview with "all candidates"... Just I hope this isn't a bad sign for me though. It's really hard to know this mystery of the admission process!! Good luck with you, too! 

    i also heard the same but maybe their policy could be flexible year to year. i mean i am an international student without any experience of studying somewhere where first language is english and maybe they want to hear me when i talk and interviewed me. dont know, just guessing and waiting and waiting

    I just got an email from UVA saying I am wait-listed! I was so surprised and glad! I was not accepted from anywhere yet, so... good news. Because I didn't get their interview, I thought I was rejected. I am kind of curious about how it works cause some people got the decision after the interview, but someone like me was wait-listed (or admitted? I am not sure about it though) without interview.. I am also wondering whether this will affect the final decisions. 

    congratulations! even if you are wait-listed, i know that it feels super encouraging because i also got that e-mail from them just now saying that i am wait-listed. conversely, they interviewed me. Almost like 1 month ago when i e-mailed them about the process, they said to me they usually make interviews all candidates they want to recruit. But who knows... it seems like we have to wait for the exact results and now i wonder how many people are wait-listed :s :s

    Hi. This is the first time that I'm on Gradcafe and I'm not sure if I'm posting at the right place. I applied to UVa, BU, Columbia, and some other programs which turned me down very soon :( 

    I posted a result on the board yesterday as I'm waitlisted by UVa. I saw somebody asking me on the board about whether I got interviewed or not. No, actually I didn't hear anything from them until I got the email to check my portal. Maybe it's because I'm an international student and I've never been to USA, so they just couldn't find a chance to interview? lol

    Columbia has offered me a seat in master courses, and the deadline to make the decision is March 27. Praying UVa will reach out soon. So if any of you UVa acceptances have better choices, could you let them know as soon as possible? I'd really appreciate it.

    BU (I applied for an MA program) said they received more than 180 applications today and only offered admission to 6 of them. Maybe the sociology department of BU is quite small? I don't know, but I think the size of their master program this year is tiny.

    I am also international student and i got interviewed by UVA sociology via skype. so, it is of course possible to got interviewed even if you are fucking 11 hours away from USA. Anyways, still no e-mail or changing status of grad portal

    Interestingly, I just got an email asking me to interview for UVA. No idea what it's about, just that they were 'interested in my application' and wanted a chance to speak. 

    thanx for the respond. when did they send u this interview request? i am trying to figure out whether these interviews done via different periods or do they send the whole requests in one time.

    From his post it looks like it was yesterday. I did not get one. I hate to be so glum but my application for them was shit so I expect a rejection. Based on past grad cafe results from the past they may have another round of interview emails as decisions are made. Good luck.

    thanks a lot for your kind response but i am quit sure i got rejected. thanx anyway

    I was going to ask myself. Nothing from UVA. I know its only been a few days but its the longest they've gone in a cycle without sending anything out. Perhaps they don't do interviews anymore? As I ask this question I realize that they will probably send an email out literally any day or hour now, but just a thought lol.

    Just looked at gradcafe data again and the only pattern I see is that they typically do interviews, then a couple weeks later have acceptances (with rejections coming out in between). But it looks like in years past they had secondary interviews and even had acceptances spill into March. None of this answers our initial questions of when the heck we will hear something, but I am bored and driving myself mental so there you go :)

    I am sure that they will do interviews also this year simply because last week I e-mailed to dgs and they said they have just started to review the applications and then interviews and then results. I am hoping to hear from uv soc next week or last week of february. For Boston, also the same.
