Interview invites should be out. Has anyone gotten an email for an interview?

Not yet. The application status is saying it's under department review

I was having interview with my proposed supervisor in November and then we discussed and refined our research proposal. After that I submitted my application. Anyone having same experience?

No meeting before application was submitted. However, I was asked to meet for a formal interview now that applications are being processed.

Hey friends! Wanted to ask if there is a rough timeline that we can anticipate to see movements on our portal post-interview?

Have you done your interview? If yes, when was it and with whom?

Interview requests should have been out. Outcome is about 1-2 weeks after interview. Funding outcome will be in mid-March

Hello! I was interviewed mid-December and haven't heard yet (I'm hoping this is not bad news). How long has everyone else's wait been? I have a bit of a weird profile so I think that makes it tricky!

I submitted my application before 2 December Deadline and still didn't hear back from them. On portal it's showing under review.

I think you should hear back by the upcoming week or so. It shouldn't take long now. I am curious if anyone else has had interviews?

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with your other applications.

Mine appears to have changed to "decision pending" overnight. Have no idea what that really means!!!

My previous experience of the Faculty is they review applications / send offers on a rolling basis.
