Interviews

[Ckatz]

I was wondering if interviews are needed for acceptance. I see in the results search that many people have had interviews and I have not. Can you still get into a Ph.D. program without having an interview? Also, are emails to check decisions sent throughout the day or do the only get sent out at certain times?

It's pretty program dependent and also POI dependent. I have been accepted into programs w/ an interview and w/o an interview. I've gotten emails at all times of the day as early as like 2:30 pm until 9 pm my time.

Yes, in some fields. In other fields, no. I'm not sure anyone can give you answers to the questions you've asked without knowing more about your field and where you applied.

I finished applying for Statistics Programs on December 15th (Deadline: December 15th). If anyone has any information regarding this specific field, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you to the people who have replied already.
