Looks like they're slowly sending out invitations. Does anyone know what % of applicants are invited to interview? And how many are accepted from the interview list? Did you guys have papers? Are you masters students? I'm trying to figure out why I'm not getting interviews...I'm also Canadian so maybe that works against me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also heard some schools send international and domestic students invites separately. I received a BS this past May and took this year off to continue doing research & apply to grad schools (taking a year off after UG was huge for me, looking back at this time last year I would not have had nearly as strong research experience or accomplishments to show for them and would have been a much weaker applicant in my opinion). Publication wise, I have 1 third-author paper published, 1 first-author paper under review, and 1 first-author paper in-progress (briefly discussed in SOP but never mentioned in the publication sections of applications). Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps! You're right, they probably are, but that's why I applied mainly to private schools since they typically have fewer issues with internationals...Berkeley states on their website that they only accept like 1 or 2 internationals a year lol. I wish other schools stated this so I wouldn't waste my time ?. Edited December 23, 2020 by amory_blaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that feeling man trust me. This is my thrid cycle, and I still got rejected. I don't even have the courage to apply schools that I really like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely I would assume they’re done. Only reason they would change is cause covid but it doesn’t seem like th at would really impact anything.
