I spent half an hour explaining just one research project, so I didn't get a chance to talk about my interests and experience. That interview took place two days after Christmas and I haven't heard back since. Expand oh that's interesting. Do you mind telling me what program that was for?

The department is now sending offers to psychology and cogsci applicants but not yet to linguistics applicants. That makes me even more anxious.

Dwr Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 No email from UC Berkeley, but no decision on the page either. Still, I suppose this means rejected?

Expand You could try emailing someone in the department and asking if all interview requests have been sent out. I did this twice, and the professors seemed open to explaining the current situation.

bachelorette Posted January 18, 2017 Author Posted January 18, 2017 Hey, everyone who heard from Berkeley so far... could you let us know your concentration or the POI (if that is kosher)?

Expand Same for me - I haven't gotten an email about interviews. I just emailed the department and I'll let you know if they respond! Also wondering about UCSD open house invites, given that I see one of them on the results page, does any one know if all of them have been sent out?

2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Does anybody know how many people generally get invited for interviews and what percent are ultimately accepted?

Expand I asked that question during my interview and my POI said about 80% of the interviewees will be accepted. But, I think it will depend on schools

Expand I can't give you numbers, but I can tell you that linguistics programs aren't the richest, so if they're going to fly you out for an interview, chances are pretty good you'll get accepted. If it's a Skype interview it's harder to tell, but still keep in mind that these interviews take time out of everyone's day and they wouldn't talk to you if they weren't actually interested in accepting you. That said, I don't think anyone can give you odds; it probably varies to some degree by school. 2017 and Lukebw 2

Expand This percentage may vary by departments. When I was interviewed, I was told that the percentage was about 50%. As I haven't heard back from them three weeks after the interview, I reckon that I do not belong to that fifty percent of applicants. 2017 1

Dwr Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) I have got an email from McGill. Any tips for handling the interview? Edited January 20, 2017 by Dwr issue resolved
2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Can anybody claim the Michigan invite on the Results forum?
zihei Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Well, UC Berkeley said during my interview that they'd send out decisions by mid-February. I'm nervous, I haven't heard from any other school.
