goliath 9 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just a heads up, I recently learned it's an expectation to send thank you e-mails to the profs you interviewed with, at least that's what other interviewees told me YouCantBcereus, Gram Neutral and pot8o 3 Link to post Share on other sites
PASD693 5 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hi all- I'm interviewing at Columbia Systems Biology (C2B2) this week, and this is the first of two interview weekends. Does anyone know if programs like these wait till after the second weekend to extend offers of admission? Or is it a rolling process? Waiting is hard... As a general plea, if anyone knows somebody who's interviewed at Columbia for this program and could connect me to him/her, I would really appreciate it :). Good luck to everyone interviewing this week! Link to post Share on other sites

They didn't happen to let you know which weekends they're planning to have the interviews did they? Link to post Share on other sites

Especially when you have two interview weekends. Always mention something specific which you'll spoke about in the interview (which reminds them of you), and say a thank you, and keep it short and sweet. Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely do this. Give each interviewer a short and simple "thank you for your time," and make sure each email is slightly personalized. If something memorable happened during the interview, bring it up. Like for one of mine, my boyfriend's father was his attending.

No they didn't say, but I think they had one round of interviews already. So maybe they might reach out to more applicants, after they meet the first set of interviewees..lets see ?

daniolabtest 7 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Shiiit, just checked my alternate email and found out I had an interview invite waiting for 9 days. Ended up responding just now, I have interview conflicts so may not get to go, but if I do does anyone know if this would be detrimental to the decision? Link to post Share on other sites

I asked about them but I'm a bit concerned about the perception and availability. I guess I could foot the flights and hotel myself if it makes it possible to visit? Link to post Share on other sites

Keep it short and cordial. No one has time to read a lengthy email about you gushing over the school. My template was along the lines of "Thank you for taking the time to interview me at [X school]. It was a pleasure meeting you and getting to discuss [insert: general school stuff, specific research stuff, etc.]." laxgoal100 and Superres 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Earl 17 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The most consistent/frequent question I had during interviews was: What other schools are you interviewing at? Every faculty asked this!! Link to post Share on other sites

I think they want to gauge what their chances are of recruiting you (i.e. if you're applying to more than one school in the area, you're more likely to live (semi) permanently there; if you're applying to schools outside of their ranking, they'll figure they're just the safety school; etc.) and what other schools they're competing against for cheap research slave labor....ahem, I mean graduate students. 2 hours ago, AngryRobot! said: Very good suggestion.
