Well congrats to all of you... I just received my second rejection letter, so I'm just waiting for the rest of them now. I've seen people post interviews/acceptances from everywhere I applied except UMD, which is probably my only hope now... if I even get into an American program.

@Marcin What do you mean "no concrete offer" from Madison?

Thank you, @MonsieurHonoré, I hope you're right! Ahaha yes, that particular essay was also a requirement this time and I basically said I can't go unfunded... So that's probably the reason for the rejection. Thanks for your support and let's hope we're all one step closer to finding the right one! I also haven't heard anything from Yale, but I know getting in there is a long shot... I have other good options too!

I just received a rejection from University of Wisconsin-Madison. I thought that was supposed to be an easy program to get into... I'm going to suspect that their program has zero funding... otherwise I'm worried I have a critically flawed application... Now I have this feeling of doom.

Well I haven't heard anything from UC Berkeley, so that probably means I was rejected there. Ugh. And I haven't heard anything from any of the other seven schools I applied to, which is really disheartening.

Not yet? @mllesaid Are interviews commonplace for French PhD admissions? Why would this information not be posted beforehand?
-
I'm sorry to hear that you were not accepted to UMich - really their loss! I don't think Berkeley has released any of their decisions yet, so you are not alone. (Last year's decisions came out at the beginning of February.) Congrats on the Brown interview! Just be yourself and really describe your research interests in greater detail. They want to see how you will mesh with them as a researcher, so just really know their department and explain how you will be a good fit. Bonne chance !

No, I don't think an interview is part of their admission process.

The anticipation is building! I'm looking forward to Berkeley's decision soon (as they had the earliest deadline, in my case), and the others soon afterward!
