UCSD: The first interview I got by end of Jan. POI was very interested in me. However, he turned me down because he found better candidate. However, my application is still under review since the school did not reject me yet. TAMU: Interview after acceptance since I did not receive any funding. I contacted various professors for RA positions but most of them told me come to the campus first and discuss the issue. Finally reached one faculty. The POI was very interested in me and agreed to offer me RA position.
Georgia Tech: First, I was waitlisted after 4-5 days I submitted the application. I felt this was strange. I continued waiting for any contact email from faculties. I lost my patience and started to contact by late Feb. I contacted the POI by early March, trying everything I can do. The POI told me he will review but heard nothing for almost 3 weeks. I contact him again by end of March. He said he forgot and asked me for an interview.
