YES! That happened to me. My Duke invite ended up in my spam folder. Definitely check it!!
Wow... that would suck!! E-mails are tricky. When did you recieve the invite to Duke?? Was it recently?

My call was an invitation. I was afraid it was an interview. When I get calls, I worry that they are "cold" interviews, and not invitations, so I don't really want to answer the phone, but I am being brave and doing it anyway. I am not prepared for phone interviews at all!
Hey that's awesome...I went there for undergrad so feel free to shoot over any questions!
I heard from U Wisconsin-Milwaukee (clinical) and was invited for their interview day 2/16! 🙂
Did you get a phone call or email?
I'm crushed about GSU.
Just got an email invite to Uni. Wyoming's Clinical PhD program. Interview is 2/23.

Bummer on Duke, though I really didn't expect to hear from them anyways. Let me check the spam folder one more time.
I know some people have heard from NU-Feinberg. For those who have not, have you checked to see if the application website shows a decision for your application yet? It sounds like the NU-Evanston people who were not offered interviews have a rejection as their admissions decision on the website. I was wondering if NU- Feinberg did the same thing. I have not heard from NU, but I do not have a decision link on my application yet. Like many others NU is top on my list, I hate this waiting...
Hey Ella. Congrats, they seem to have a great program. Did they ask you to pay the application fee yet? Their 2-part system kinda confuses me.
what are people's thoughts on staying with a student host if that is a possibility? I was going to stay with my brother at one school I have an interview at but now I am thinking if I don't stay with a student I am at a disadvantage. I think I might be analyzing this whole process just a little too much but it's so competitive and I don't want to do anything that might hurt me.
Woh that's awesome!!! Congrats😉
It's best not to get too caught up in it. But I think you are best off staying with students. They'll help you get a better feel for the program, answer questions you might have about Professor X, and hopefully assuage some of your anxieties going into interviews. Also, these will be you colleagues potentially, so it would be good to see if you mesh well with them.
My two cents, after the interview, feel free to stay with whomever, but I think the night before it would be a good idea to stay with a current grad student.
I've heard that if you do NOT stay with a student, when offered, that it reflects poorly on you -- that you are too much of a prince/princess to need a hotel.

Does anyone know when Baylor is sending out invites? I've gotten 4 interviews and 1 rejection (from my safety school..wierd) and I just want a few more so I can feel confident about getting an offer somewhere!
Oh and I would definitely stay with the grad student if you can. I did at my first interview and it was so helpful..they told me about what each professor looked for and how to interact with each..do it if you can!
Also have not heard anything from Feinberg-just noting that my status page doesn't have a link to "view decision" either. Arrgh! 😡

Kazinka,
I think it totally depends on your situation at each interview. If you are the kind of person who would feel really uncomfortable staying with random people, or like another person posted, you have a really late flight or something, staying with graduate students might not be for you.
I will also mention that I've read a LOT about interviews (if I ever get one, I think I'll be REALLY prepared), and a lot of people recommend staying with students the night before because most of them will be really helpful and give you an idea of what you're about to go through, or what to watch out for.
Good luck to you on your interviews (whoever you stay with)!
Frankly, I don't know why more schools don't do this anyway- you guys know what I mean? Most of the online application formats are made with "Status" functions- I think it would make it easier and cheaper for most schools to notify you electronically- they might even be able to do it faster (i.e. before April!). This seems to me a much more efficient mode to contact applicants, especially for those schools who don't even send out rejection notices!
sorg, I too am extremely interested in ucsd/sdsu. do you know how far along they are in their process? Do you think they are about done sending invites? Did they just call you out of the blue, or had you already received an email?
how did you find out that you were rejected from temple?
it has no decision on my temple online application status... but i haven't gotten a call for an interview
any thoughts?
