JVoN Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Heyy so I know I should just let it go at this point, but is it common for a POI to not get back to you after an informal interview? I’ve only experienced them getting back to me either way, good and bad news. However, a top choice of mind hasn’t gotten back to me in almost a month. I’m not sure how normal this is, and I’m not sure if it’s worth reaching back out? Anyone else in this boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokePsych Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 some people do indeed ghost you. it can also mean you're on the waitlist. I had radiosilence for 2 months and then got an email from them I made it of the waitlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzarollgotbusted Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 All the PIs that I had informal interviews with except one got back to me with formal interview invitations. And I am seeing in the results that the program where that one PI is is already extending their formal interviews.. I had one informal with a PI last cycle, and she got back to me to let me know that I wasn't chosen for formal interviews before she submit her list to the department. So I'd say it also depends on the PI. I definitely find the one that got back to me much nicer, and I applied to the PI again this year, and got a formal interview.

I’ve received several informal invites, and all got back to me either with “fit issues” / rejections or letting me know at least a formal interview timeline. I know some interviews have been extended, or 1 that I know of. But I haven’t heard a peep from the PI I met with, nor any other activity. I guess I just don’t know if should reach out or not? The department itself said they’re still going through everything.. ah! It’s hard since this is a top choice of mine the waiting is always the hardest!

venus rose Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I would definitely contact them and ask them if they have selected the final candidate(s) yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
