jusrain Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 It kind of gives me the impression that the more slots people are available for, the more likely they are to be interviewed, which I really hope isn’t the case since I’m only available one day (by chance, otherwise I work full time). To quote the email: “The department will not be able to interview all of the candidates at this round of the admissions process, so not all of you will receive a request for an interview.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would honestly like to believe that they're not going to reject people on the basis of being less than 100% available to do an interview with such short notice. That would be extremely shitty of them. As long as you opened up a couple of slots, I can't imagine it being a problem, not to mention a whole day. But, I mean, I'm just working off a basic assumption of minimal human decency and fairness. I sincerely hope you get an interview! All we can do now is wait.

I checked the system out of curiosity and nothing had been updated on the online portal. I will say my offer came with an additional source of funding on top of the base, so it’s possible others are still to come, if that’s a common occurance. For reference, I study cultural productions of modern and contemporary women across the African diaspora, with a Postcolonial and intersectional lens.

j.alicea Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) @Matthew3957 Thank you! Just got the call today around four from a poi- he said funding info and official acceptance letter would be sent later this week. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll hear something soon.
