Not sure if this is an official interview though. She just said she saw my application, would be glad to co-supervise me and wanted to chat to learn more. But regardless, I am assuming this is something positive? Definitely, Congrats! weast, Riceberry, TinCanBaby and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda300 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 This thread is so helpful. I've been searching for a discussion channel like this all over the web. I applied to Rice, Usask, Manitoba and USF. All but Rice (PhD) are for MA programs. However, I'm yet to hear from any of these schools. Did anyone apply to any of these schools?

So much anxiety rn. Hello, everyone. This is my second cycle of applications. Last year, I had applied to 4 schools and got rejected by all of them. This year, I graduated with a master's and have been preparing my applications for the cycle. I have applied to 11 schools (UCI, UCLA, UCB, UBuffalo, UNC, Cornell, Northwestern, U of Maryland, U of Minnesota, IUB, UT Austin), and intend to submit applications for one more (Brandeis). Socio-cultural track. I am worried, in some schools which had early application deadlines, my writing sample had some grammatical errors. But otherwise, I'm trying to be positive for this cycle. (Also the other side of me is making me believe that I blew up the application due to those grammatical errors lol) I think it is too early too expect responses from schools. Hoping everyone really gets through the best place they want to be in. Fingers crossed, for all of you. Good luck, guys!

Riceberry Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Anyone applied to Chicago had a heart attack when they send out the email about "application under review". Man, I hate it when universities starts of their email with "Thank you for applying to....."

I also struck out last time, so I'm hoping things are better for the both of us this time around. To be honest, what I've heard from my mentors is that it's very rare that an admissions committee/PI reads your writing sample all the way through, because of the sheer number of applications they have to read. It's more of a rough skim so they can get a general idea of your ability to articulate your research in a cogent manner. So I think you should be good Kankabatir_tirey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAAAYYYYY Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hi people! Just saw an update on the results page--someone got an interview invitation from Michigan Ann Arbor. Has anyone else heard any good news from them yet? Nairel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoping something good works out for both of us. To everyone, I saw two new posts on the results page. Anyone else got any information on Cornell? One person (international applicant) got in. Their result post says 'accepted via phone'. Congratulations to them!! I haven't heard anything from them in a any medium, phone or email or anything. I know this probably could mean a potential reject or waitlist (still keeping hopes high lol) for me, but I'm just curious if anyone else has heard anything from them.
