Haven't heard as well, but I think they probably intend to schedule interviews for the next week. What I wonder about interviews: are they for classification or elimination or confirmation or all of the above mixed?

mstama123 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Claiming the most recent MSU admit! I got a personal email from DGS, and they haven't sent out form letters yet. So to those of you who haven't heard yet, don't give up hope! Edited February 2, 2017 by mstama123 dagnabbit and krapp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea. They mentioned that they may get in touch in the first week, hence thought I'd just check in.

Any idea what they tend to cover during the interview? Anyway will keep you posted in case I hear anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just re-read the email, my best guess is they will be reaching out to collect more information about research interests, career goals, etc. Now I'm all nervous about that! Yikes.

I got several acceptances and rejections and wanna share these. * Accepted: University of Arizona(TA or RA / 15000$ per year for 5 years + one-time 5000$), Rutgers(TA or RA / 25000$ per year for four years + summer mentoring offer 3000$), SUNY at Albany(funding not yet decided and will come out in the next few weeks), U.C. Davis(funidng not yet decided and will come out in the next few days) * Interview: USC(had a Skype interview last Friday but  pessimistic about the result - there has been no notification yet), Michigan State(will have a Skype interview this Friday). * Rejected: GWU(via mail to check the portal), Emory(via mail), Austin(via mail to check the portal) * Counting as rejections: Northwestern, UCLA, U.C. Berkeley And, I am wondering 1) if those who got admitted to Davis were notified of any information about funding. 2) if there is anyone who is having an interview or already has done it.   (Is this for some kinda double-check after actual decisions have already been made or for dropping the candidates from their short-list?  Congrats on all of your acceptances! When did you hear back from Rutgers? I'm still waiting and haven't seen any updates on the results page (so haven't given up hope yet!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibica Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Someone earlier had mentioned Duke maybe making their decisions this week (something about a shortlist). Do y'all think we may still hear back before the weekend? philpot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakeshott Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 5 minutes ago, HermioneWannabe said: More than 3 :-( Columbia and UNC will be the death of me. Oh, yikes. Here are two things that make me optimistic though: It seems that in previous years decisions have trickled out. So hopefully this year is similar, especially because this is a bit early for them and so having *all* decisions ready to go out now would be quite a change from previous cycles! The more decisions that appear in the results section *without* anyone claiming them here, the more I suspect trolls might be at work. It wouldn't be that unusual for 1-2 people who don't post / read the message boards to post in the results section, but it would be a bit of a surprise if that number goes up to 4-5...Does that make any sense? At any rate: Good luck to us all!  zapatos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
