happy holidays everyone,
I'm an international applicant and I've applied to Drexel Uni., Kent State, Eastern Michig., Uni of Montana, UMASS Boston, American Uni.and Georgia State Clinical PhD programs. Has anyone ever heard interview calls from these schools? Thanks to all.
I've applied to several of those (Georgia State, Eastern Michigan, U of Montana). As far as I know, none of those three have sent out invites. However, the program director at Eastern Michigan sent out a mass email a little ways back saying that they would send out invites by 1/19 for the interview on 2/17.
Georgia State sent out an e-mail saying that campus shuts down for a few weeks over the holidays, and, more or less, to hang in there as nothing's going to be happening until faculty returns.
As someone else mentioned, University of Montana's deadline hasn't even passed yet, so they should be a while; their interview is typically one of the later ones, in early March, and it seems like the faculty are in charge of contacting their respective applicants, so invites will likely be spread out over several days. Last year,it looks like some did pre-invite phone interviews, and some didn't.
Lastly, I did my undergrad at Kent State, and they (at least a few years ago) definitely had individual faculty get in touch with their applicants, too, and I remember them having a ton of variablity in terms of when invites went out (as in, late december through mid/late january).
Hang in there--and hopefully we'll be getting good news soon!
