Do folks tend to decline offers closer to 4/15 even if they have already accepted an offer early on? I'm wondering how close one should cut it re: waiting for waitlist movement. In previous years, some people heard from their waitlist school *on* the 15th, which sounds so nervewracking.- 309 replies

There's no way to tell with our program, unfortunately. I've known people who've gotten admits without interviewing at schools that did conduct some interviews, so it's entirely possible that they do interviews on a case by case basis and not for all finalists. But it's also possible that some schools interview all finalists to get an idea of their personalities and vet their final choices, etc. I think if the interview is heavily focused on clarifying one's project, research ideas, writing sample etc--it's more likely that it's to decide between a few applicants with similar research. But if it's more of a casual chat, then maybe they're interviewing all finalists?- 309 replies
