Thanks @Kuunmong for sharing your experience. I thought I'd also share some experience from my interview. My field is modern Chinese literature and comparative literature. I was asked very specific questions about what I had read related to xxx topic, what I might have done differently than xxx people, and my approach to literary analysis. I guess every interviewer has different styles --- Mine was very focused and razor sharp. I didn't expect that the questions would be specific so it didn't go very well. Not sure if there's a lesson to be learned here, but maybe it's a good idea to brush up on your readings/methodology/research/teaching experiences before the interview. Best of luck to everyone!

Hi everyone! I'm also in this excruciating process of constantly checking emails and doubting if i'll get accepted anywhere ;( I had an interview with Columbia, but since they have started to send out offers, I guess it might be a rejection after all. I also applied to Comparative Lit programs but the schools are way out of my league... so I'm placing all my hope on U of Chicago at the moment. Best of luck to everyone in this depressing waiting game!
