0 ftppny Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 @Parast Hi! I did apply! Have you heard anything yet?
0 yclyoyo Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Hello! I applied too. Have you received the interview notification?
0 Parast Posted February 10, 2020 Author Posted February 10, 2020 I haven't received an interview request yet. Have you guys?
0 ftppny Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 hi i was sent an email thursday to schedule an interview and did the interview on sunday. I'm not sure if they do multiple rounds of interviews but I do know they admit students without interviews. Hope that helps
0 jujujamani Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Thanks for starting this thread! I also applied but have not heard anything so @ftppny got me nervous O_O. Good luck everyone!
0 Parast Posted February 12, 2020 Author Posted February 12, 2020 Hello everyone. I have design background. What about you guys?
0 hgskskoo Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) I have! Business background and interviewed in the past week with one of the co-directors Edited February 14, 2020 by hgskskoo
0 yclyoyo Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I just saw that someone got the interview invitation 5 days ago. Hope that we all could have this chance
0 Linkboi Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Hey everyone, they typically perform interviews with candidates that they have uncertainty regarding their English skills...I'm not international but nearly all my friends who applied to MDE or like programs and were international had an interview of some sort IF there were concerns about language skills. With that said, some friends that were from Asia but had substantial schooling in English speaking countries or had recommendations that could speak to their speaking skills did not. Again just what I have seen.
0 Parast Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 That is really promising, thank you. But it's still really hard not hearing back from them.
0 ftppny Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 @Parast I think that @Linkboi made a good point, I applied as an international student so it def could be a reason why I was interviewed. I wouldn't worry too much! I'm sure you have a good shot! Best of luck! I think we hear back in the next 2-3 weeks?
0 hgskskoo Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Same - I interviewed and my second language is English yet I was exempt from submitting TOEFL. And the interview itself was more general so not sure if it's be a deciding factor. So don't lose hope yet!
0 Parast Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 @ftppny Best of luck to everyone. They said that they release decisions in the first week of march.
0 ftppny Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 @Parast thats coming up real soon but feels like a lifetime....

Actually I interviewed as a native english speaker with GRE scores higher than the median on the site so I doubt it was for only english-testing purposes. Not only that, my interview email from the GSD stated that invitation was based on exceptional credentials, the interview is to narrow down the applicant list, and furthermore during my interview it was explicitly stated that I made the “short-list” of applicants thus they are using the interviews to learn more about those select individuals and it is indeed a deciding factor.

Aw - my email read the same so I thought it was just a general invitation quote.

I can firmly say individuals that did not interview were accepted last year so take it for what it is. hgskskoo 1
