<p>so i just read on princeton’s website (the general grad school admissions page) that </p>
<p>“The Graduate School does not require or conduct interviews, although some departments may welcome them.”</p>
<p>…does this mean princeton doesn’t have people out for interview weekends before accepting/denying them? anyone know from a previous cycle, maybe?</p>
<p>How would you all recommend preparing for interviews? They asked me to send an email with the top 10ish faculty that I would be interested in meeting with, can I assume that those are the only faculty that I’ll meet? Should I just be familiar with their research? Thanks!</p>
<p>My understanding is that they will confirm your panel of interviewers before hand. As for how to prepare, a coworker who got in last year said that the interviews were partly the professor explaining their research and then asking you about yours and about what your interests are for grad school. I would read some papers from each professor. Try to have questions for them and have a fairly good idea what your interests are (these can change btw once you are in).</p>
<p>And it’s all from this one guy, and he posts <em>EVERYWHERE</em>. Not only that, but the posts are just, “Does anyone know anything about Princeton Molbio?!?! Why is no one talking about it, if it were awesome wouldn’t you be talking about it!?!? ohnoohnoohnoohno”.</p>
<p>I was wondering if anybody knew if UCSF BMS sends out interview offers more than once? </p>
<p>I looked at the grad cafe results from last year and the dates they first sent out interviews were the same as this year’s. I’m guessing the same will apply for rejections, which is early January.</p>
<p>For those that have received interviews, have the schools contacted you yet with a formal list (instead of a “wish list”) of the professors you will be interviewing with? Do you know the timeline that they usually let you know?</p>
<p>UChicago and Columbia asked me to come up with some professors I was interested in and that they’d get back to me with a specific itinerary later.</p>
<p>UT didn’t ask, but I still need to submit some paper work so maybe it’s coming.</p>
