Not yet! But they mention at least 10 weeks to review the application and may call for an interview.

No update. Saw on another platform interviews were sent out, so likely means if no interview, a rejection is on the way.

What platform was this? and it depends on the supervisor if interviews are to be done?

When can we expect to get any decision tentatively?

From my understanding, supervisor interviews are apart of the process and evidence of being shortlisted. Other folks I know in the program confirmed this. So I have accepted it as a loss sadly.

No news. I'm the individual who posted the interview on grad cafe. They reinforced the 8-10 weeks at the end of the interview. This was my 15th application over several years and my first interview. Keep trying. My best recommendation is to find a supervisor, read their work, make note of the limitations that they identify in their work, and find a way to overcome one or more of their most significant limitations. This strategy has resulted in another possible acceptance this cycle. Alternatively, reveal that something important is being overlooked. This interview was the result of revealing that a trauma-informed perspective would be valuable. Turns out they have a large interdisciplinary team, but no healthcare professionals. I'm a nurse. I inadvertently introduced a new perspective. PERSIST!
