KWIKKI Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 I did not have any interviews. I assume this is a rejection... It was my dream school!!!! So sad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoviariel Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Either rejection OR waitlist OR too good to get an interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWIKKI Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks for being positive, but their website says: Have a telephone interview with a program faculty (after submitting the application, those candidates who pass the first round of selection will be interviewed at the request of the program) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAhopeful Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I was contacted and an interview was requested approximately 5 days after the submission deadline. I was told in the interview that there were only 3(!) spots available this year. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWIKKI Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yes, I know that. I contacted the program director before I applied. Well, I thought I had good chances... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAhopeful Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just got an e-mail for an interview with UMD. Anyone else hear from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voulez-Vous Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I applied to both MSU and CMU. I was rejected at MSU but they encouraged me to apply to the German department there instead, which I didn't do. I have heard nothing from CMU, but I never had a good feeling about it. I had a lot of trouble with their online app, and was told this was the first year that they had done the applications online. I always love being a guinea pig - NOT.

KWIKKI Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 I agree! Their online application was terrible! I had to contact their coordinator every time I had a trouble. Besides, my recommenders could not submit their letters, because the link they got was broken. I was very angry when I found out that I could not track my application after submission, although their FAQ section said that I could do it...
