I’m not exactly sure how the final decisions process works, but do you know whether that person heard from a Person of interest or a different program representative? If it’s from a person of interest then yours might just have not gotten around to it yet, but either way there’s a good chance that the acceptances were not sent out all at once! I’m sure you still have a great chance for that program! And you still have a fantastic chance of getting into another amazing school this cycle too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed all of the programs last week (except for boston) and they said my application is still under review... I wonder what that means in the case of Harvard then?

I emailed all of the programs last week (except for boston) and they said my application is still under review... I wonder what that means in the case of Harvard then? I know people that are in Harvard’s PiN and, fairly assuredly, they send out invitations all on one day and their incoming cohort is a subset of those individuals. When they say you’re still under review, I think that’s just them being polite. A lot of programs don’t send out rejections until acceptances are mailed out.

Has anyone heard from them yet? I received my interview invitation from the UCLA NSIDP on December 20th, 2018. They requested confirmation of my attendance no later than January 2nd, 2019, so I imagine they probably are not sending out any more invitations.

blarn_4349 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Hey just a friendly tip for anyone who didn't know: as a former Bostonian, nobody calls it "Boston," it's always just BU. If it's ambiguous with another BU then I guess you would spell it out (I think someone called Baylor BU before?), but the more likely ambiguity is with Boston College or BC, so the "U" is important. Edit: and I also wish they would hurry up! It's good to have some insider information though ? Edited January 27, 2019 by blarn_4349 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about NYU as I didn't apply there, but I just checked Einstein's website and it looks like they have PhD interview days Jan 31 and Feb 14. I'd say if you haven't heard from them yet, the Jan 31 is highly unlikely, but you could still be invited for the Feb 14 date! It's not over yet! On 1/25/2019 at 10:49 AM, Keephope said: Yay!

And you still have a fantastic chance of getting into another amazing school this cycle too So she got an unofficial email from at least one PI responding to her thank you note after the interview telling her she got in, then around midnight she got an official letter from someone else, apparently. My advisor told me not to worry about it too much as they might just still be working out funding or a fellowship or something, but that's pretty much impossible advice to follow because I'm definitely still worrying about it lol.

_kb Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Hey! I have my first interview coming up soon and I just went and got some clothes to wear. I wear leggings and hoodies on a regular basis so business casual is not my forte. Berkeley specified in their email "As a rule, clothing is casual on campus, and you are encouraged to wear anything you are comfortable with while meeting graduate students and faculty." so I got a nice pair of slacks and some nice wool sweaters and blouses. Im wondering if it is common to wear blazers as well? I got one in case but I don't want to overdress. Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks!

If you're talking about Northwestern's NUIN program I know that they have only contacted a few people for acceptances - those people won't even receive an official letter for awhile. They plan to do most of their acceptances after their last interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the interview day (whichever is the main day that you'll be meeting with professors), I would say most people wear blazers - but there are definitely some people who also just stick with sweaters or blouses so if they specifically say casual, I would think you'd be totally fine skipping the blazer. On the other hand, you can always take the blazer off if you feel overdressed. _kb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
