Psy Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Can anyone tell me how often do universities (esp for the follow schools: stanford, princeton, harvard, brown, duke, virginia, washington u, uc davis, nyu) offer interview for international applicants. I can imagine it would not be a common case for an on site interview considering the cost, but beside that, do they arrange for phone interview, or skype interview? and suppose I am not invited for any interview, does it mean that I am screwed =.=? I am so worried now seeing everyone reporting interview in gradcafe while getting nothing for myself...
billycafe Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I think it doesn't matter if you have not received any invitations yet. According to my information, some I/O psychology programs just start reviewing the applicants packages. What programs did u apply? I am also an international student and we are from the same country. I heard that international students are invited to have skype interviews in most cases if interviews are necessary. But I prefer going to U.S. if allowed. I think face-to-face chat would be more effective and efficient. Best luck to us.
Can't think of a name Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 They will interview you over the phone/Skype. I'm an international and I was interviewed this way.

onomatopoeia. Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I'm an international applicant too and was interviewed via skype. They did extend an offer to go down for the visiting weekend but I don't know if they will subsidize my visit yet. All these funding cuts not doing us international students any good... Anyway, it's still January only so lets all remain hopeful.
