Hey! I just recieved an interview request from Notre Dame for Nonfiction, I am wondering if anyone has interviewed with them/another program and has any advice? Really nervous & excited!

Ahhhh, that's so exciting! Congratulations!! You just gave me hope ND might still have a chance for me yet, because I was convinced that they'd sent out all their interview requests on the same day (I.e. yesterday, Monday). Maybe there's hope, ha!

I haven't interviewed with them yet (just hoping to make it that far in the process, frankly), but I live here in South Bend, and actually work on campus already, so I can (try?) and help if you have any questions about campus life or anything like that in general about the area. Feel free to DM me if you'd like, and best of luck with your interview!

No rejection from JHU still. I know it's a rejection - why can't you just tell me? Feeling situationshipped

If I get an email saying they enjoyed reading my application and want to schedule a call, what should I take that as?

It sounds to me like a sort of vibe-checky interview. Grats! ❤️
