Preliminary interview with PI for combined masters/PhD program

I have received an email that informed me to submit a video interview. I am preparing for that. Good luck everyone.

Received email to check status on their app portal. Submitted application on November 19th.

To the poster below: I submitted the application on 25 Nov and was invited to the open house in Jan. It seems like the applications submitted before Dec have been reviewed and evaluated.

TTPB: Congrats on getting the invite! What's your research area?

Informal PI interview

Interview from POI listed on my application

We regret to inform you that your application for this graduate program was not successful. Each year, many good applicants are declined admission to the University of British Columbia. Common reasons for declining applicants include unavailability of appropriate faculty advisors and/or funding for the applicant, an applicant's less competitive academic record, and simply the limited number of spots available in graduate programs. Due to the significant number of applications we receive, we are unable to provide applicants with specific explanations for being declined.

To the posters below who received an interview invitation: when did you submit your applications?

I agree with the previous poster about the Columbia Psych. BTW, I emailed one of my POIs, he said that given the situation of COVID-19, they will probably accept only 6 new grad students in 2021 Fall (and he is one of them who won't take new students), so I don't expect any good news even though I did apply LOL.

Note: No one has been admitted to Columbia Psychology yet (interviews have not happened), so I would disregard the poster below saying they were accepted.

Received notice late at night! Interview for Biological Science - Biochemistry and Chemical Biology
