I applied to Penn, but have not gotten an interview. Seems to be uncommon to get an interview request from Penn looking at the results, but who knows how accurate that is.

gandma Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) @SocialResearcher Wasn’t me... If it helps, their website states: Please note: Interviews and campus visits are not part of the admission process for all PhD applicants. Contact will be initiated by the program after files have been reviewed. Edited February 8, 2018 by gandma SocialResearcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWjdg Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Most schools don't do interviews, generally speaking. Interviews are mostly done if they are unsure about an applicant or have a question or to about them. So interviews, depending on the school, can be a good thing or "less of a good thing" scenario.

However, the Chair of the SSA Program wrote me a personal email copying the two POIs I spoke with, encouraging me to apply again next year because she enjoyed reading my application and just didn't have space for me. I am 0 for 2 thus far! These 2 were my reaches though, so hopefully I'll hear a YES from the 4 soon. SocialResearcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty content with the decision, I just dislike lazy responses - especially when I've talked to faculty there personally. Thewait 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisasterBin Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hiiii everyone, Does anyone know when the University of Michigan and the Boston College will announce their results this year? =,= I am a little bit afraid to write an email to inquire at this nervous period...

Thewait Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Well, just got an email from UT Austin that I was Waitlisted. At least it wasn't my third straight NO. What are the chances of getting off the waitlist? I still have 3 final hopes. Please send positive vibes. Really trying not to get too discouraged since these first three were the Big 3 (top tier programs). On 2/12/2018 at 6:06 PM, SWjdg said: I didn't warrant a special email I suppose.

Definitely a good thing, and mainly top applicants will move around schools so surely the waitlist will move around some. 16 minutes ago, Thewait said: Thewait and SocialResearcher 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes to both of us! Hi Monster, Nice to meet you! I applied for the joint program between social work and anthropology. I am guessing that they have not released the results because there is no post on the result search page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
