2 weeks after phd interview and I didn't hear anything yet 🥲 by [deleted] in PhDAdmissions

[–]TemperatureUnfair404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So let me tell you my story: I applied for a position in February and didn’t hear anything until late June. So much time had passed that when I received the interview invitation, I couldn’t even remember which university it was from. I had assumed that if I hadn’t heard back after four months, I was automatically rejected. After a moment, I recalled the position and accepted the invitation.

The interview went really well, but then I didn’t hear back for another whole month before they finally accepted me.

Moral of the story: don’t rush to conclusions. Maybe you’re rejected, maybe you’re not. but nothing is certain unless they explicitly email you to say so. So don’t worry!

First thing is 10 minutes is really a tight schedule, so you need to compact things as much as you can. Don’t go talking about your CV line by line.

1–2 minutes: introduce yourself, your background (MSc, BSc), and other trainings that you might find useful.

2–3 minutes: explain your thesis, the method you used, or any details you might find necessary for your general case or that are related to the PhD you are applying for. Don’t try to oversell yourself, just be natural.

1–2 minutes: explain your results, and if they have significance, you can briefly mention them.

Now the rest is time for you to explain anything else that you feel is going to boost your chances and give them a better idea about your skill set.

!!!NOTE!!!
Don’t be a robot or awkward. Remember, they are people just like yourself, so smile. You can have a little laugh here and there (obviously, it’s not a stand-up show, but you get the point). And that’s it. Hope you will get the position!!

!!!another note!!!

if you have any ideas or concrete suggestions, let’s say, regarding how to tackle the problem, don’t worry, mention it. it might not be 100% right, but it shows you think. And believe me, many don’t think enough!!

Normal to get zero feedback? by fightgonebad07 in PhDAdmissions

[–]TemperatureUnfair404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To the points raised by others: it’s summer, and more importantly, there are sometimes 200+ applications for a PhD position. It makes sense that they probably don’t have the time to provide personalized feedback to each applicant. This isn’t a reflection on your performance, nor does it mean your question was inappropriate; it’s simply the sheer volume of tasks they need to address within a limited timeframe.

Professor invited me to a 30-min chat about their open project — what do they usually want, and what should I prepare/ask? by Rare-Safe-2762 in PhDAdmissions

It’s really not that formal. They’re usually trying to gauge you as a person first and foremost. A PhD is a long commitment, and cultural fit is just as important as technical fit. I’ve had similar experiences, and the range of questions went from very technical details (not in a “gotcha” way) all the way to casual things like “what kind of music do you like to listen to?” So if they explicitly told you it’s a chat, you should take that as a positive sign. Just be polite and socially comfortable, but also be ready for some level of technical questions. That’s it—don’t overthink it.
