electric_burrito Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) The only programs that do interviews are Notre Dame, Emory, Vanderbilt, Rice, and maybe a couple more outside of the top 40. If you applied to one of those programs, and you haven't received an invitation to their interview weekend via email, you are most likely not being considered for a spot. I can confirm that Emory have sent out all of their invitations as of last week. I'm pretty certain Notre Dame has also. Not sure about the rest. Edited January 20, 2015 by electric_burrito
IncomingPhD2017 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 The MIT HASTS program also has an interview process. Not sure when they send out emails for it, though. I think in years past, they haven't sent out their notifications by this point; seems they do things a bit later than most.

Congrats!!! I hope to hear back from then soon! Did they send you any info on funding?
JohnWK Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 anyone hear back from cal states yet? ughhhh the anxiety...
Cbjackson Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Many of my applications were due on jan 15th... Do we have an idea of what the turn around time for decisions will be? Its only been a week but I am super anxious! I've been lurking on this page non-stop & keep checking my e-mail lol! Edited January 20, 2015 by Cbjackson

Its only been a week but I am super anxious! I've been lurking on this page non-stop & keep checking my e-mail lol! I feel you... I have this page and the admissions results one bookmarked on my phone... Anyways, expect to hear back from the January 15th apps no sooner than the end of February. Maaaaaybe 2nd or 3rd week if they don't have a lot of applicants, but yeah, late Feb beginning of March is when they usually have them (I called most of the programs and that's what they said).
MaxWeberHasAPosse Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Talked to the Grad Coordinator at UT Austin. She told me that all admits were sent out on Friday. Edited January 20, 2015 by MaxWeberHasAPosse
sidelinestory Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Congrats!!! I hope to hear back from then soon! Did they send you any info on funding? thank you!! and yes they did include funding information in the letter hopefully you hear soon!!
sidelinestory Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Admitted to UIUC! congrats! nice to see another UIUC admit on here!

Ahh okay good to know! In a bitter-sweet kind of way. Lol the anticipation is too much. Best of luck
sluggerotoole Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 MaxWeberHasAPosse - I also talked to the grad coordinator there and heard the same thing! I guess that's my first rejection then!
ritsukot74 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I just got off the phone with UCSB and UIC!! UCSB is making their decision in the next week or two, and UIC is making their decision at the end of January.
anonymous_soc Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Hi, any one heard from Chapel Hill? Negative. Don't believe they've been sent out yet.
Nonyabuisness Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I haven't heard from chapel hill. Applied to UIUC havent heard back and getting nervious, I really wanted to go there.
Overcattio Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I had skype interview with Charles Kurzman, director of graduate studies at UNC at Chapel Hill, yesterday. I guess this is because I'm international student. He said decision will be made by the end of this week or next week!
sociology_anon Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Received an email from Rice last week inviting me to interview with them next month for their Ph.D. program! Still haven't heard back from UT yet :/
460178985 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Is it a good thing that more and more schools begin to interview…
ritsukot74 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I haven't heard from chapel hill. Applied to UIUC havent heard back and getting nervious, I really wanted to go there. I know UI-Chicago is doing rolling admissions, so maybe UIUC too??
ritsukot74 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Is it a good thing that more and more schools begin to interview… I so agree with this!!
460178985 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I so agree with this!! I don't like interview
ritsukot74 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I don't like interview I don because it allows professor the opportunity to ACTUALLY get to know the applicants. SOPs are so restrictive, and grades and GRE scores are oftentimes misleading.
