I got an email to set up at Skype interview with Cognition & Perception at NYU yesterday. Congrats to you folks--I'm wondering if you were questioned at all in your POI phone call or if you got offered the in person straightaway?

FeelTheBern Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Hi @overdetermination , Congratulations on receiving the interview! The POI called my SO yesterday evening and just told him about the program and gave a few details about the interview weekend. At the end of the phone call, he asked if he had any questions, but that was it! Before receiving the phone call, my SO had no previous interview or any previous contact with the POI who called. Hope that helps! Edited January 4, 2016 by SkyLy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavlovianlove Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Got good and bad news today. Good because I saw an email from a POI from the University of Illinois at Chicago telling me I was "one of the few applications that stood out" to her and she wanted to set up a Skype interview. Bad because the email was from 13 days ago, Dec 22. I stopped checking my email on Dec 20 because I assumed schools generally do not send out invites this early and because I wanted to regain my sanity by staying away from electronic communication for 10 days. Then I got the email on the 22 asking for an interview between then and Jan 1st. Replied the email to get an automatic response stating that POI is travelling until the 8th. I can't describe how confused and mad at myself I feel right now. Anyone have any idea how bad this looks? Ignoring an email for a Skype interview for 13 days? Does this hurt my chances?

Well, this is definitely not an ideal situation and probably looks a little bad from her perspective. But who hasn't missed an email before? As far as damage control goes, what did you say in your reply? Were you contrite and offer an explanation? (IE: "I am so sorry to have missed your email, and I sincerely hope we can reschedule. I was focussed on spending time with my family over the holidays and failed to see your message.") Hope you can work it out! pavlovianlove 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsy16 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Try emailing the DCT and explain the situation as well. I wonder why she didn't send a follow up or try to call you when you didn't rely to the first email. Hope it works out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you can work it out! I agree with this ^. I'm sure it'll be fine. Expecting an applicant to schedule an interview over peak holiday season (pre-Christmas through the New Year, which it sounds like was what she was asking for) is iffy even under the best circumstances. I had a couple POIs request interviews over this same time period, but they also gave me early January as an option if I couldn't make ~Dec 20 - 31 work. So, I'm confident that she'll be understanding -- and remember that getting contacted for a phone/Skype interview at all means you're basically shortlisted, which is very good news! Let us know how it goes, and best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, just curious but who is your POI for this? You can PM me if you'd like! Also, they'd probably understand that it's easy to overlook emails during the holiday. Don't sweat it!
