phd2020 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Any suggestions for telling a school that you aren't available to interview the weekend they suggested because you already accepted another interview offer for that weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask them if they have alternative interview weekends and if not, ask if they'll let you do videochats. I ran into this issue when I applied and the school I was less excited about offered me the option of doing Skype interviews with faculty I was interested in. mitochondria_1 and phd2020 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, phone calls from schools have always been with an area code from the university's city/town. They should not be calling you from a number without a caller ID (and if for whatever reason they do and you don't pick up, they should leave a voicemail).

They scheduled the interview weekend to align with a conference at their school so I don’t know if they’ll be open to a different weekend but asked nicely. I’m still very interested in the program so I just hope they don’t misinterpret it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerdyneuron Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 does anyone know how the committee does the initial screening process? Like do they actually read through all the personal statements, LORs, etc or do they initially look at GPA and weed out the outliers first & then read the essays/LORs/etc?

Some school's like CalTech do it based off number (GPA, GRE) first but generally committees put applicants in an absolutely must invite/recommended/absolutely do not invite pile and go based off that.

A professor I talked to mentioned that they receive around 400 applications. By the time they are being reviewed in the committee there are only around 200 left.

Last year, by the same time (Dec 16, or the first 2 weeks of December), more schools have sent their interviews compared to this year. Although a lot of schools sent on Dec 17/18/19/20. gaultiero and LilAstro 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
