one-way interview

To the UW ECE Ph.D. poster below, who got an interview invite: If you don't mind, can you share details about your profile and the area you applied to? Thanks.

Interview request from POI

I sent an e-mail to the program rep. They confirmed all invites have already been sent out.

Did not contact any POIs before submitting my application. 3 strong LORs. Very excited!

Dear [my name], Thank you for submitting an application to the PhD in Human Centered Design & Engineering degree. The review process is underway and we may reach out to you in mid-January to schedule a virtual interview to give the applicant and faculty member an opportunity to meet and discuss research goals before offers are made. Due to the unprecedented number of applications we received, COVID-19 constraints, and faculty schedules, we may not interview all eligible candidates. If you do not receive a request to interview, your application is still under consideration and receiving the full attention of our faculty reviewers. Requests for interviews will begin after January 6th, and in most cases after January 14th. Thank you for your patience. Offers of Admission will be made in early February and we will be hosting virtual preview day events in early March. Happy New Year! Please be safe and well. Sincerely, HCDE PhD Committee

Your interest, commitment and motivation can speak louder than your stats imo
