Anyone received an interview request yet?

 

[soupisgoodfood]

Wondering about this too (I applied to Critical Studies)

[mari11]

My application was for art, last year I believe interview requests went out second week of May? Not sure if that is typical

[soupisgoodfood]

It seemed that way in most of the previous posts about the program. This is my first time applying, so I have no first-hand experience. 

Have you heard anything yet? And do you have any friends who also applied? 

[mari11]

I haven't heard anything back yet, and I do have a couple of friends who applied who also haven't heard anything... It's a tough wait!

[soupisgoodfood]

You can say that again! I spend an. . . alarming amount of time refreshing my email now 😅

[mari11]

hahaha same!

[soupisgoodfood]

Have you found out anything yet? From the posts of the last two years, it seems like Whitney often notifies tomorrow morning. 

[mari11]

not yet, but i will post on here if i do!

Any of your friends hear anything?

[mari11]

i only know a few that have applied but so far none of them have heard anything

[soupisgoodfood]

Damn. This is so stressful lol. When did they notify of rejection and acceptances last year?

[mari11]

I think beginning of June?

I've heard of some hiccups with this being the first year of the new ISP directors/space, so it's possible they're a bit behind on interviews, but my opinion is to assume rejection if no invite by this Friday – all decisions still probably early-mid June.

[mari11]

thank you for this! helpful to have a little insight 

[mari11]

this wait is tough, kind of wish they had a notification for when interview requests have been sent! how is everyone holding up?

I’m very stressed about it lol.

[soupisgoodfood]

Have you thought about reaching out to the program, Mari? 

[mari11]

I'm very hesitant to do that, but I wish someone would! 

[ih8cinema]

Don't think it would hurt if someone really wants to – they had a rough indication of when responses would go out under the "notification" section of the ISP webpage in previous years but now there's no mention of timeline at all

[soupisgoodfood]

ih8, do you remember if they mentioned the timeline in 2023 too? 

[ih8cinema]

Fairly certain last year the website mentioned decisions in "June" and now it doesn't

[soupisgoodfood]

Ahh, I see. I also noticed that it says on slideroom "Please allow at least two months for the Review Committee to read applications". Do you know if that is new too?

Not sure about that. All we can do now is wait, stay distracted 😊

[mari11]

Last year invites went out 5/12, but who knows this year, so I think you're right, distractions and waiting it is (;
