PvZ 2 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Hi all, I received an email from Notre Dame's PhD program asking for "a short conversation." It writes that "We don't view this as a interrogation, as we already are impressed by your credentials." Since it has never occurred to me that an interview is required (I thought most polisci programs just communicate offers directly!), I wonder if a conversation as such is usually a casual one or one far more formal than it is said to be. Has anyone been interviewed by Notre Dame? What might be the chance that someone gets rejected after an interview as such? My subfield is political theory. Thanks!
jazzrap Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Hi, Would you mind telling me if you are an international student?
milox Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I also had an "interview" for Notre Dame, but it was actually a very informal chat, not longer than 15 minutes. Still waiting for admissions decisions! My subfield is CP. Edited February 8, 2014 by milox
cupofnimbus Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Has anyone else received an interview request? Is this only happening for international students (if I am reading through the above comments right)? /fret
PvZ 2 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 Hi cupofnimbus, I do not know if this might be helpful or if you have already been aware of, but I have the recollection that several weeks ago someone as an "A" reported on the Results Search of being interviewed. All the rest reporting there are "I"s. Besides, there have been very few entries of "interview" until now.

When I posted my first acceptance, I did not know it.
