It seems they usually send out interviews around mid-January in previous application rounds but I haven't seen any USC interviews post this year. Could it be that those who received interviews just aren't posting on Grad Cafe? Feeling breathtakingly nervous... Same here; haven't heard anything back from USC By the way, has anyone applied for the McDonnell fellowship at Washington University(WUST)? I wonder how much the fellowship application/decision influences the actual PhD application/decision... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CsyJ Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I was also wondering if anyone else interviewed with the University of Washington(Seattle)? I did a Zoom interview with two POIs in Korean studies; seemed more casual not like a committee interview but they asked some in-depth questions about my writing sample...They were very nice though. Towards the latter part of the interview we just spoke in full Korean. Had a good experience overall! Best of luck to anyone else who is doing interviews!

The fellowship is a subsidery one, it does not affect the program application. But the materials submitted to the phd application can be retrived by McDonnell academy for reference.

onf Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Congrats to those who got the third-round interview! I didn't hear anything from Princeton, so guess I'm rejected😢 (Kinda expected though..) I also applied to Chicago, Cornell, UC Irvine, UPenn, and UC Santa Barbara but haven't heard anything yet. Just want to know whether they usually have interviews or not. Anyway, good luck to those who received the interview invitation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same here, I applied to around 12 schools in America, but didn't heard from them ever since Dec, it's grinding experience... Feel like I am going to collect rejection letters in the next month.

Guest Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 @onf For sure! I'm in Japanese Studies. I applied to U Michigan, Stanford, U Penn, U Chicago, Harvard, Toronto, Cornell, and UC Irvine. I've had/will have interviews with U Michigan, U Penn, Harvard, and UC Irvine, and I haven't heard anything from the rest. I received the UC Irvine invitation a week ago.

Guest Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Thank you so much! Also, I saw that some folks were asking about Stanford. Just as a heads-up, I just got an interview invitation from them via email. Best of luck to everyone waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everysingleday Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I was sexually assaulted by a colleague as a student at Stanford EALC. Please be careful when you go out drinking with colleagues and always report incidents to campus police even if pressured to do otherwise. Always feel empowered to say no or excuse yourself if someone's comments or behavior is making you uncomfortable. No one has the right to touch you without your permission. Best of luck to everyone, and I hope you are able to thrive and succeed in your new programs. Aikodesu, Annie2024, Awn and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 @everysingleday Thank you for sharing that, and I am so sorry someone did that to you.

FirstTimeApplicant24 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Hi all! This is my first PhD application cycle, I want to say good luck to everyone still waiting, and congrats to everyone who has received good news already. I wish I found this thread earlier, so allow me to share my experience so far: I study Japanese modern/contemporary lit and film, and I applied to Stanford PhD, Berkeley PhD, Columbia PhD & Harvard PhD. So far I have been accepted to Berkeley, informally notified by POI last week and formally notified via portal on Jan 29. I have had two informal meetings with POI’s from Harvard in early January, and just completed final round interview with admissions committee. I have no clue when I will hear back about the results, but one POI said they generally start notifying by second week of Feb (about Feb 10). I have yet to hear anything from Stanford or Columbia. Hope this fills in any blanks on others timelines. Best of luck to us all! smcfsfy and form7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie2024 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Hi, does anyone know the result realse process of Cornell-Asian Literature, religon, culture PhD program? I saw someone reported the rejection but my portal does not update the status. Don't know it means good or bad (do they release the rejection in different rounds)? BTW, I haven't heard any interview information of Cornell. Did anyone have the interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

form7 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hello all! Rejected from Stanford! So much pain! I saw that some people got interviews for UCLA and Columbia, or received their acceptances/rejections. Radio silence on my end, no interview requests or anything. I know I have to wait for confirmation but I can't help feeling negative about this...
