cuteDr22 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Invited to Penn State. Same weekend as UPitts . Do you think I can ask for a skype interview? I want to keep all my options open.
pepmochaa Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 cmykrgb: I applied the 28 as well. Fingers crossed for both of us! cmykrgb 1

spiffscience Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Just got a call from an unknown San Diego number and with absurd enthusiasm ran out of the library (#finals) to answer. It was a telemarketer. Hang in there, pals. sivis, Neuro15, RussWestbrook and 12 others 15

Congrats!! So I think IGP just reviews 50 or so applicants every Monday and sends invites on Tuesday. I wouldn't worry too much at this point. Maybe in 2 weeks though..

I saw one name on the survey list for IGP, but in the previous years during their second wave a lot of people reported hearing about interviews, not just one. Congratulations to everyone who is already hearing back! I'm jealous haha. I haven't heard back either. I submitted my app 11/28. 12 minutes ago, Katyya said: Omg I did too haha. Congrats!!

Its truly a rolling process. Stay strong guys !

Katyya Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Does anyone else have finals and don't care about doing well in anticipation of interviews? spiffscience, neuroundergrad and Actin 3

Katyya Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I'm not even sure how I'm getting through next semester potentially knowing that I'm already in grad school. Plus I'm already missing first 2 weeks of school for interviews and waiting on 6 more schools so what if I miss the whole semester and fail LOL
AGradStudentHasNoName Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I'm gonna quit my job and hike the pacific crest trail before grad school starts. And if I don't like that I'm gonna go ski bum in new zealand. Suckers! Of course I can only do this because I have been working for a number of years and have some money.

I would love to have the money to travel and do something like that. Enjoy it!
cmykrgb Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 saving moneys from my research job to travel too. If i don't get in, I will just try again next year and potentially have even more money to travel! (but actually some place please accept me)
sivis Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I think I developed a Pavlovian fear/anxiety response to my phone's email notification...it's still so early too DGD4L and spiffscience 2
MCF10A Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I plan to travel too if any program will kindly take me in this cycle. Fortunately I saved some money in my bankroll by playing poker (impossible to make any savings from my $26k/y RA job)
AGradStudentHasNoName Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Where are you guys (or girls) planning on traveling? Also lets start suggesting ways to pass the time while waiting for interview invites. I'll go first. 1. play pokemon sun/moon 2. play fallout 4 3. look at cat gifs 4. work? so hard to motivate right now... Edited December 13, 2016 by AGradStudentHasNoName lkjdslfjs

It is so difficult to care during the spring semester once you have been admitted to a graduate program. I suggest taking the easiest course load possible and avoid classes that meet on Thursdays and Fridays.
