Gram Neutral Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 For anyone that applied to Northwestern DGP, they told me today that their admissions committe would be reviewing applications soon, so that means they haven't even started, so don't sweat that one at all.

Caffeine Junky Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I saw that someone posted in the survey that they received a UPenn CAMB interview, has anyone else received one? I'm dying to know if they're going to start going out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariposa2 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Is it customary for students who hope to interview at several institutions to respond affirmatively right away to interview invites as they arrive and resolve conflicts as they might arise by re-scheduling with institutions whose requests come in later?

For my two interviews so far they required a response within the week so I didn't have much choice. I'd imagine they would want a quick response so they can give spots to other qualified applicants.

Sarahjc Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) I'm waiting as long as possible to confirm interview invites so I don't accept an invite to a school lower on my list only to find out it conflicts with my top choice. My mom (who's in business not science but still in change of hiring people) has told me repeatedly it's much better to keep someone waiting for a response than turn around and decommit from an interview. It could bar you from ever working there for the rest of your career (sounds dramatic but apparently it happens in the business world). Skype interviews are available if you really can't make it work but seeing as you will be living there for five years, that's far from ideal. I've only confirmed one interview of the four I've been invited on and I'm waiting to confirm the rest until I hear from the schools sending invites this week. My guess is that after this week, no more invites will be sent until January because of the holidays.

This is not technically true. I tried to visit the schools I applied to back in September, as I knew that when I started my masters I wouldn't be able to make it to the US. I've been invited to interview and it's on the same day as one of my exams so I don't see myself flying 15 hours for an interview then when Skype exists. Also, the school was offering to reimburse $1000 for flights - which is great, but considering the cheapest flight I can find for then is $3500 I don't have that kind of money to spare. So sure, if your schools are cheap to get to and interviews are relatively straight-forward to attend you should. Equally, don't feel bad for not attending them. One of the schools I cannot attend an interview at is setting up a skype tour of the department, and is getting a current grad student to walk around with a go pro to show me around. There are ways for getting around things! On a happier note, congratulations to everyone getting interviews, and for those who havent heard anything yet - keep breathing and try not to get too obsessive over the email checking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
