Thank you! You wouldn't regret it, Skowhegan definitely bound participants together, and as an international who had lived in USA for years I finally started to feel welcomed.
I think it's still too early but it definitely is a good sign! I know their selection process goes many rounds, so I wouldn't think about it at this point but would check back in late March, and if they are still playing your works by then it really means something. GOOD LUCK!
I only had a informal Zoom conversation months ago with one professor before I applied, but haven’t got another invitation after the application:( also I didn’t list him as my 1st POI, instead another professor who I didn't have a chance to chat with. Now I’m concerned?
Haven’t heard anything yet, but I emailed admin a week ago and they said the interviews invitation will be sending out in the coming weeks, and the interviews will happen during the mid-late February.
