The same question here. Does this program require an interview? 

I'm wondering about this as well. Haven't received an interview, so I'm wondering if that's a rejection...

Has anyone else applied to University of San Francisco? Does everyone receive an interview invite?

I applied by the priority deadline and got waitlisted.

If you don't mind my asking, did you get waitlisted with or without an interview. I received an interview invitation and am trying to figure out if everyone is interviewed (or if I'm on the cusp for consideration).

Thanks!

I did the interview. Based on my understanding, an interview is part of the admission process, and most of the people should get one.

Isn't UChicago and Northwestern's decision timeframe mid-March? Wondering if that means we'll know next week... anxiously awaiting!

I specifically received an email from UChicago saying that they will release the results by mid-March.

I do not think that everyone gets an interview because that would not be a good use of time. During my interview with USF, my interviewer had said that the interview came after sorting through applications. 

When did you have your interview? I just had mine this morning and was told that I will hear back from the admissions office by the end of March.

Thank you! You definitely have an outstanding background!

I just received my interview invite as well :) 

Do you mind sharing what kind of questions they might ask during an interview? Are you planning to take Duke's offer?

For those of you who have gotten into NYU so far, have they mentioned anything about scholarships or funding?

No mention for me either.

The questions were very general, regarding my background and career objectives. Don't sweat it. It would be an informal conversation where they wanna know more about you. Nothing technical.

all the best. let us know how it goes!
