Received an interview invitation from Paul Cummings via E-mail around Mid-Feb, was waitlisted roughly two weeks after the interview and received an offer late-April. Decent funding but unfortunately have to decline. ND's CW department is definitely one of the most professional I've met from this season they are SO SO NICE. Good luck to those who are still on the WL! | ||||
