In my limited experience, people made decisions on faculty they want to work with. Some programs have multiple faculty with the exact same interests as those students (important if one faculty isn’t accepting more students or whether your personalities don’t go well together). Some other’s had other responsibilities as having long term commitments to other people. Thats about all the help I can give.
-
Do these schools have open houses? Since they're upper tier, I'd expect them to. I recommend visiting them and getting a sense of the atmosphere, as it helped other accepted students in my program to completely change their minds.

Usually it is till April 15th that you have to give a final decision to a school (your acceptance letter should state by when you should get back to them). Adcoms are aware that if they accept you, chances are you are accepted from multiple places. That’s why they do the invitation to the campus to sell you the program one last time before you make a decision. If you can, just try to make that decision sooner than later, because your denial of an offer means someone else gets accepted and the earlier that is, the better.

The wait is killing me
-
Anyone here who interviewed with Weill Cornell? Do you guys know anything about when we might hear back? The final interview is Thursday. That's all I know.
-
For instance, I'm international and lived in many countries growing up. I was asked why I moved so often, how those experiences shaped me, and why did I decide to move to the US. Languages I speak, where my family is right now, these were all asked "casually" in two of my interviews. This is a relatively unique situation given the common applicant, so if your application has something that would be different than that of a regular applicant, this will come up for sure. If it doesn't, bring it up yourself in a positive manner.

I had 4 interviews for 1 school. All 4 faculty were amazing people, but especially 2/4, I was bombarded with questions and had to act/think confidently. So I agree that you should expect anything.
-
Congratulations!!! I'm sure you will do great in your interviews. Some common questions I've been asked so far: Why us? What do you want to do with your degree after? What is your current project? [Usually this is the majority of the interview when the conversation is about you], what have you done so far to approach your goals in phd? [I wanted to combine computational stuff with neuroscience, so they asked me what I did till now to prepare], tell us about yourself., and maybe there are some questions specific to your program. Best of luck!

The important thing to keep in mind is, if you have multiple acceptances and have decided on a program, let the other ones know as soon as you can so peeps from waitlists get a chance.

Isn’t there a decision deadline around mid-April for most programs? I doubt anyone can force anyone’s hand to make a decision this early on.
