WhitH Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've been reading alot about pre vs. post acceptance interviews, and I was wondering how you know which one you've been invited to. I've just gotten an invite to a 3 day "recruitment weekend" and it got me thinking about what that means. I realize that the significance of interviews varies by school, so can everyone please share what they know about specific schools? Like for which schools is an interview just a formality, verses which schools actually use it as a final step in the admissions process? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroB2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It really depends on the programs and schools that you apply. I know Columbia CUMC phd programs generally reject more than 50% of the interviewees after interviews. And some other schools generally accepts more than 80% of interviewees.

liastra Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I strongly advise treating every interview like it counts as the final step. Last year I applied to 11 schools, had 6 interviews, and got accepted to 3. It's very easy to be weeded out and not accepted, even at those "80%+ schools." The minute you let your guard down and stop trying, someone will step over you and take your spot. The 3 interviews I tried the hardest at, were the ones I got accepted to. Funny how that worked out. mrmolecularbiology, Vincenzo and mop 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
