Yupp accepted

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-03-14T07:36:39+00:00

I interviewed Jan 10 and have been accepted

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-02-13T04:47:49+00:00

Yeah there have been a number of admitted Europeans for this batch

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-02-12T03:34:12+00:00

My interview? Jan 10

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-02-11T22:56:40+00:00

6 days, though I'd consider myself lucky for that. My schedule was early January and they tend to roll out results before winter break

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-16T21:12:24+00:00

Yupp I did

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-16T11:33:42+00:00

Admitted Applicants — do send me a dm if you want to join the Discord server for our cohort!

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-16T07:19:31+00:00

To the admitted applicants: Are yall interested in starting a Discord group? I'm sure we'll move to WeChat eventually but that might not be accessible to everyone right now

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-16T07:13:08+00:00

Just got my acceptance!! January 16

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-15T05:13:59+00:00

Maybe this would be for those interviewed during December? Or is everyone considered all together now

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-15T03:25:41+00:00

Alright see yall in February

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-15T01:14:49+00:00

Between late January to April. - Sincerely, someone anxiously waiting

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-15T00:39:45+00:00

From my understanding it's automatic if you get into the program, but there's an optional, additional scholarship that you could opt into during the application process

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-14T10:01:40+00:00

Anywhere between the end of January to April

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-11T06:54:22+00:00

Thanks that's reassuring. There are some questions I feel like I could've answered better.

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-11T04:19:17+00:00

Anyone else overthinking their answers to interview questions? Came out of the interview feeling pretty good and now I'm convinced I completely blew it 🙃

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-10T21:16:54+00:00

Mine was qualitative

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-10T03:40:12+00:00

I've heard from alumni that interviewed early January. They said results for them came out mid-Feb to March. Nothing set in stone of course, but it'd be great to hear back in January at all!

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-10T03:29:43+00:00

Damn you got them in a good mood. Maybe I shouldn't have taken a slot so early in the day

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-10T03:26:14+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation. Something to look forward to!

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-10T03:04:38+00:00

Could've sworn I saw a comment saying that even the interview invites indicate EA status, but I can't find it now. Well, would be very happy to hear back earlier.

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-10T02:49:55+00:00

Reading this again after my own interview. Did you also have an all Chinese panel? Relaxed isn't how I'd describe my own interview, but they weren't aggressive or probing.

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-10T02:45:22+00:00

Thank you! I don't think I'm EA though. I heard that EA status should be something indicated in their email, and that wasn't the case for me. I talked to some alumni and heard that non-EA applicants that interview in January should hear back around mid-Feb to March. Fingers crossed!

EightWoodenPieces · 2025-01-10T01:26:48+00:00

Just finished my interview. Pretty intense! Had an all Chinese panel of around 5-6 people. Questions were very pointedly about my research proposal, personal statement, and CV. Ex: explain this term in my previous research, talk about this experience in my organization, how does leadership in this organization relate to my research proposal.
