Invitations to Interview

Once completed applications are received, a preliminary screening of the applications for completeness and competitiveness. The Department receives 300-550 applications per year. Potential sources of funding for the applicants are also identified. Prospective mentors perform an initial review of applications and recommend which applicants will receive invitations to interview. Upon Departmental review and approval, invitations to formally interview are extended to applicants. It is rare for any invitations to be extended after December 31. Therefore, if you do not hear by the end of the calendar year, it is unlikely you have been invited. We wish all applicants the best!
