So, I wasn't expecting this...But I've just received two offers, one from Duke and the other from Berkeley. I have no idea what to do...

Let's hope...

Nothing....nada....and I'm going crazy!

Same here, I don't know if I should e-mail someone...Or just wait.

Yes, that is how I feel as well...

So, I will share my experience with you, maybe it will help. I had an interview at Berkeley. The interview was conducted by two professors, one of whom I had previously spoken to. I didn't know if I should be prepared for a formal or more casual interview, so I studied and was ready for either one. The interview itself was a mix of formal and casual, some of the questions were almost like a conversation. But then, they asked me more dense questions, like which archives I believed I could research during my Ph.D., and how I was planning to link my object of study to a transnational approach. I answered everything and they seemed to have liked my answers. Maybe you could prepare yourself for something like that...Try to imagine what troubles you may encounter during your PhD (sources, archives, methodological questions, etc).

Thank you so much!!

Hi everyone, I as mentioned in another post... I was invited for an interview that will be happening later this week. How to best prepare for it? What should I be expecting?

Same thing here, just got an interview invite.

Any info would be highly appreciated

Yup, feeling deeply sad. I really liked the program and had such a good connection with my POI.

hey, anyone heard anything about Columbia?

Same here, hopefully we will hear something soon

Hey everyone, as I am seeing that many of you are getting interviews at Columbia, would you mind sharing some info? What field are you applying? I am feeling very anxious right now, I had a feeling that Columbia was my strongest application….
