How soon after interview do you typically hear word of decisions?

[axc]

After interviews I'd guess it wouldn't take long for decisions to be made. I had an interview toward the begining of this month but I haven't heard anything. Has anyone else had experiences like this? Or not like this?

[spunkrag]

It depends. Anywhere from the next day to a few weeks. I guess a lot of it is determined by where you fit into how they will dole out acceptance/funding offers.

Hang tight. I'm sure you will hear a decision you like soon enough.

It usually takes about 1- 2weeks after your interviews that you know about their decisions. Some school even take 3 weeks or more while others take only 1 week after. You will hear something soon.

I had an interview in January and didn't hear back anything at all until the first week of March. I wouldn't assume the worst. Hang in there.

I agree that it depends on the school entirely - I heard back 2 days after the interviews were over. I don't think it hurts to ask when you can expect a response.

Resurrecting this topic. Anybody have a personal experience to share? I had an interview 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything. Can't be a great sign . . .  :-/

I got my unofficial acceptance after six days interview with POI.

I had an official acceptance two days after a (last minute) interview.

I got a call from my POI last Thursday (that would constitute my interview, I suppose) and got the call offering me a spot the next morning. My contact actually told me that the committee was pretty much sold before the call, so the quick turnaround was natural.

 

I realize this answer sucks, but "it probably depends"; don't count yourself out (or in!) until it's definite.

I had an interview at one of my top choices two weeks ago and am still waiting... and turning myself crazy!!

 

I heard from another student that they are making final decisions this week- but naturally there is still a lull after that. And to make matters worse I emailed my POI after we met to thank him, etc, and he said that they will let me know "in a few months"...!! I'm hoping that this is a typo :/

I'm in the same boat. I interviewed three weeks ago and nothing. They told me they'd let me know "by the end of the month" - I assumed that meant January, I suppose it meant February? Lots of people say no news is good news but so far I have learnt from experience that this is not the case, so yeah - lots of restlessness and fidgeting for now.

same here. the poi told me he will be in touch very soon. by very soon what does he mean idk, it has been more than 2 weeks.. it is really stressful.

[DGChaos]

Same here. Finished my interviews and no news. I was informed that I will be notified the end of February or early March. Oh well..

I had an interview on Monday via phone. Other applicants to this program have posted acceptances. I haven't heard a thing.
