venusofwillendork Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 hey @renforall not all hope is lost on USC! looks like they just sent out a new interview request-- so perhaps it's happening by area of interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renforall Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Both the Penn and USC interview requests listed today are from me. A great way to wake up, to say the least! For Penn, I sent a brief notice to my POI before and after I submitted my application. I've engaged a lot with his writing in my recent work, and the prospect of working with him is incredibly exciting to me. My area of focus is early modern, with a particular interest in Southern Europe from the 15th–17th centuries. My POI is currently on sabbatical, but I got the sense that this was more of an informal contact. I'm not sure what Penn's policy is for applicant-faculty interviews; it may be a case by case basis. Seriously hoping that others hear back from them as well! And yes, @venusofwillendork, that seems to be the case—so relieving! Was so happy to hear from them. My fingers are crossed for all of us. If nothing else, the one reaffirming factor is that we all understand how anxiety-inducing this process can be.

venusofwillendork Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hooray, @renforall!!! Your success gives me hope! That is fantastic. I hope the interviews/casual convos/etc. give you all the answers you're hoping for. Fingers crossed! Modconart and renforall 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoryschmeary Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Does anyone have a sense of the timeline for Yale interview requests? I'd be a bit surprised if one comes my way, but I'm still on pins and needles, nonetheless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusofwillendork Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 @theoryschmeary I haven't been through Yale's process before, but looking at the last couple of years in the results -- looks like interviews are requested in Jan 29-31, and we hear back between Feb 8-16! best of luck! theoryschmeary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right. Spoke to some current students and they had their interviews end of Jan and offers around first 2 weeks of Feb. (last year and the year before). renforall, theoryschmeary and venusofwillendork 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nochoicestan Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I saw that Harvard has sent an interview request (congrats to that person!) Anyone know if they send them to all shortlisted applicants? all at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolperson54321 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Does anyone know if Princeton does interviews? Judging from the history in this forum they only did interviews last year (and maybe this year) but not before that. ncan360 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POI said it is still incredibly early in the process, so our conversation is more of an opportunity to get acquainted. I'll ask about the review timeline to get some insight!

renforall Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Congrats to those starting to hear back from Yale! I'm running out of fingers to cross. An update on Harvard: interviews during the application process are not department-wide policy. Individual professors may or may not choose to speak with applicants who want to work with them specifically. Decisions then made by committee as a whole. So, another case by case scenario!

coolperson54321 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 That latest Yale one was still me, sorry! Just wanted to let you guys know they're sending out emails now. A 20 minute interview with two people who are not within your discipline. renforall and Modconart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an invitation from the DGS for recruitment weekend (March 12-14) which includes interviews with faculty and dinner with current students. The deadline to accept is Feb 12 so my hunch is that they will send a second round of invitations if not enough people accept. I am not 100% sure though, this is just a guess. @coolperson54321 congrats on Yale!! @renforall same here was really hoping to get Yale .. ah well it’s not meant to be I guess! renforall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
