Could you let us know your field? I was not expecting them to interview all potential candidates. I don't recall reading it on their website, and my POI (19th century) never mentioned this being a step in the admissions process. Good luck with your interview Edited January 24, 2020 by Lllok
coolperson54321 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) @Modconartthanks! it's still early so they might still be sending them out! The interviewers are probably different for most people so they might need time to figure that out. Congrats on Michigan though! Edited January 24, 2020 by coolperson54321 Modconart 1

Good luck with your interview Thanks! My field is early modern. No one I talked to while applying mentioned an interview so I thought there wasn't going to be one. In the email they said they are interviewing "a short list of candidates" so maybe it is a thing now. Edited January 24, 2020 by coolperson54321
renforall Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 @Modconart Hopefully Yale will be sending requests over a few days. Won’t be too surprised if I don’t hear anything, as my POIs here were the only ones that didn’t respond to my introductory email. ? And congrats to the Berkeley admit! That was quick! I’m still wondering about their interview process. It seems that not many folks were contacted for a conversation? Modconart 1
brooketrout Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Could Berkeley admit PM me? I also interviewed with my POI recently.
Modconart Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 congratulations to the Berkeley admit(s)! @renforall same !! My poi only reached out after reviewing my app... but radio silence since.. ?
coolperson54321 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Will the Princeton interview person please stand up ❤️ Edited January 24, 2020 by coolperson54321
LeonardoF Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Have anyone received interview invitation from Harvard, UMASS, Cornell ?

renforall Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Not holding out much hope for Northwestern at this point. This one stings a little extra. ?
snowmann Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) A long time lurker here! I've read through previous topics, and it seems like Berkeley has been interviewing their top candidates (more or less formal interviews, I guess). Since I heard nothing from Berkeley, I should just assume that I didn't get in. I thought the writing-the-applications part of the process was the hardest one, but I think this waiting game is the most mentally demanding part of the PhD applications process. I've been re-reading my SOP and thinking I wish I had written it differently and stated my research interests in a more strategic way So many regrets, but I should stop going back and regretting...

Lllok Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Who was rejected from Princeton already? Could this person's POI have meant that the department's decisions have been sent out for the DGS's approval? It's still awfully early for results to have been sent already, in comparison with other years. Edited January 27, 2020 by Lllok IphigeniaInAulis 1
nealolaen Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 This waiting game is too painful. In a class this morning, my friend sitting next told me that I started to write "PANIC" on my iPad for so many times. AND I WAS NOT EVEN AWARE OF MYSELF DOING IT. I couldn't focus on any other things anymore, and I hated myself being completely impatient with the results and immature with this process. I just hope this slow-torturing can end as soon as possible. Or I should just block grad cafe for good. I guess, Que sera, sera. My best wishes for everyone reading this post and/or in similar situations. renforall 1
renforall Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 New Penn interview—anyone claiming/willing to share field and POI?

I'm doing photo-history/contemporary. My POI mentioned to me that they are not yet at the point of having their admissions review, so I imagine more interview requests will come! Edit: This seems very preliminary. Edited January 29, 2020 by ncan360 Fast_Talking_Dame and renforall 1 1
RATS! Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Hi everyone! Princeton was me. POI (med/byz) reached out. I wish I could speak more to the process. Really sorry about the delay. I hope all of you are finding ways to cope with this dreadful period. (I'm not!!!)
