Hi everyone! I had my interview! For mine, I was asked about 5 or 6 questions. It ended up lasting about 30 minutes and I was able to ask a lot of questions at the end! As @smileylikeme mentioned, it is like a conversation and they just want to get to know you. Good luck everyone!

Where did she get that information from?

Where did she get that information from?

She asked at the end of her interview when she would hear back and thats what her interviewer told her.

I’m not sure 🙁 I had my interview in October so I feel a little discouraged. Just hoping they send out more decisions soon!

Yeah I think you’re fine! Let’s just hope for the best 🙏🏽

 

[SarahRabitoy]

Do you guys think they are going by

Do you guys think they are going by last name?

I don't think so because my last name starts with R. I think they release the first round and then see over the 14 days who accepts and then release more depending on space. I believe they only admit 40 each year.

Just an update. I had my interview on December 3, and I called into the department to ask when I'd be hearing back their decision and they said most likely before Christmas or the first week of January. They also said the admissions committee is coming next week, so for those waiting on a response, at least this is known. At least that's what I've been told directly from the office. Good luck to us!
