congratulations! Then does it mean that we do not have any chance to get accepted if we have not got an invitation to an interview?

I contacted with him before application and he agreed to supervise me. Then I didn’t contact.

Hello! Just noticing there are some replies to this thread. I had my interview just before the holidays, but from last year's thread, i think (tho not certain) that there would be more interview invitations in January. Fingers crossed, and happy to connect!

Hello, congrats! I heard some interviews went pretty chill while some were somewhat intense so it totally depends on the interviewers. I had one chill panel member but the other two were grilling a bit.
Yes, feel free to text!

I can't figure out how to text you directly. But I wanted to find out what/who makes the interview panel. I thought it was only the potential supervisors that got to interview you.

It’s a bit complex! But I just texted you. If you cannot find it in case, we could try something else.
Re panel, the email that was sent to you about the interview should have mentioned who will interview you that was the case with me unless it differs with each candidates.
