mei-meimeltdown Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi everyone! Today I had a skype interview with one of my potential schools. I think the interview went well, but it left me confused on what happens next in the admissions process. I was invited to attend recruitment days at the beginning of April and was wondering if anyone could help me out with some tips on what to expect. I also was wondering if the admissions decision comes before or after the recruitment days?? Pls Help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAZ Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 First of all, chronologically, the admission decision must come way before the March/April Recruitment Day (it is not an "Open House Day" or an "Interview Day," but exclusively for the admitted students who have committed or are close to commit). Are you formally invited by the department to attend the Recruitment Day, or your POI just mentioned it in passing and welcomed you to take advantage of it? If the latter, it really depends on the tones. If your POI said it with a grin, (s)he probably hinted that you have been shortlisted and he is confident in your acceptance. If he was half frowning and half pondering, he was simply thinking ahead and finding out a possibility for you to meet him/her and visit the school free of charge, once you are admitted. mei-meimeltdown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMP Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Who invited you? The POI? Ask for clarification-- have you been admitted? You should be receiving a letter from the DGS or the Graduate School that you have been accepted. Also the letter should also include some line of "financial support available"-- which means you really are in! mei-meimeltdown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mei-meimeltdown Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 THANK YOU I was invited during the skype interview by the Program Coordinator. Unfortunately, I couldn't really decipher her tone so I am hoping there will be a more formal invitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
