Yeah for some school's religious studies program, classes are very small with maybe an additional 1 or 2 students each year, and obviously if the school is named, we know who they are. haha.
MudMaa Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Congrats on the invitations so far. I am curious if the invitation came from an individual or if it came from a more generic admissions email? i.e. trying to assess how worried to be about it getting lost or sent to spam if it does come. Best of luck to you!
maum2 Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Hi everyone, I can finally access the comment box! (I joined GradCafe a few days ago, but it was strange—there was no comment box. Fortunately, I’ve now fixed the issue!) I received an invitation email on January 31st and had my interview last Friday (2/7). jmsquared and Ken05379707 1 1

Just curious to know when did you receive the 'application complete' email before you received the interview invitation?
user5049167012 Posted February 11 Posted February 11 sooo jealous of everyone getting interviews. Not feeling optimistic the more time passes. I wonder how many applicants they had this year

I wonder how many applicants they had this year the recommendation letters can be used for 3 years. Are you applying for the first time?

userhk Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Wonder if anyone can log on to "Preparing for What's Next". Seems like an invalid meeting ID?

This was my first interview, so I didn’t have any point of comparison. I’m not sure how I did, but I did my best to answer the questions. The atmosphere felt structured, and time passed quickly, making it difficult to assess my performance. Just my idea. 🤔 jmsquared and Ken05379707 2
maum2 Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I’m curious to know if anyone has been dropped from the interview process in the past few years.

D.S. Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Hi guys, I finished my interview. Questions were unpredicted, so be prepared to improvise. But it’s possible that it was just my case. I can't assess the process either. Best of luck to all of you! jmsquared 1

Just curious, were the questions revolving around current situation, motivation, compatible match and future prospects?

jmsquared Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Hi all, I did an interview also and can’t say exactly how it went but know some are curious. Here’s some general tips: Key Advice: Prep as you would for any interview & review your app materials Relax - it really is just 15 mins & thinking clearly is key so you can be present and answer thoughtfully. Have questions ready for your interviewer at the end. This is for you AND them. If you need more info on something or have a concern, just ask (& maybe practice asking so you do not forget to in the moment). There’s another “prepping for what’s next” call on Feb. 26 so def attend that if possible as the grad assistants chat abt the interview process too. They also have blog posts. If you’ve made it this far, they are interested. Be confident. Good luck! Ken05379707 and QWER___2 1 1
