Are you an American or International applicant? 

Good luck in the interview.

[sloth_girl]

Good luck with interviews! Just got done with mine. Nothing to stress much over, but it means you are on the short list, so congrats!

I did my interview with UW Madison as well. The professor told me that they are likely to (since the schedule may anyway change!) let us know the results at the end of the month.

I wonder if those who did not get an interview can consider themselves as rejected at this stage?

Also, does Columbia even do interviews? Most schools don't do them from what I've heard. 

Does anyone know of a list or previous thread on here that says which programs hold interviews?

I interviewed at Wisconsin in January 2018 (the professor I was interested in working with has now left), and I think that those who didn’t receive interview requests were rejected. I could be wrong, though. 
 

This year it’s a little different too, as it seems interview requests were not sent out all at once, as I believe they were (mostly) in 2018 (i.e., all CP requests were sent out on the same day, unlike this cycle).

I think that's a really strange approach, sending the interviews in batches.

I think Madison Emory plus SD?

[Romcomulus]

Has any one heard from Texas A&M? I see 2 acceptance posting (one claiming the decision was made the 7th), but my portal remains unchanged. Thanks

Vanderbilt does, or did last year.

Welp today's the 15th, good luck to everyone who had admissions deadlines today!

[horololo]

Is there any international applicants here? I heard that many universities that typically do not conduct an interview with an American applicant conduct interviews with international applicants. Any news?

Hello, those who have received update from Columbia, what was your subfield?

I thought Columbia came much later. Spam?

Anyone claiming Columbia and UT Austin admits?

International applicant here. I haven't heard any such information. Most of the schools that I applied to clearly mention that they won't be conducting interviews.

Columbia still seems about a month early compared to previous years. There were a number of trolls posting spam decisions from Columbia last week that were all removed, I assume this is more of the same.

Yeah! Also for UT Austin. They were out around the end of January last year.

Has anyone heard from Upenn? Also, does anyone know if they usually conduct interviews?

Has anyone received interview requests from Rice or Indiana?

[uchenyy]

I don't believe that Indiana interviews. Did you get a request?

No, I still haven't received any word from either. Thanks for the info.

Perhaps Indiana will send out decisions next week.

[Dwar]

I think in general starting next week we will see a lot more decisions. It seems that most schools that get back to students in Jan do it after the 20th. 

[arslanok]

I heard that Ohio State is sending out decisions. Has anyone here who applied there received any word?
