Since last week I have been talking to PI from the solid mechanics area through zoom or teams. I was contacted by email

Ignore the tag 'Interview.' Is there anyone from Earth and Planetary Science Ph.D. program here who applied to those schools and heard anything (Interviews, acceptance, rejection, waitlist)? I applied in early November and still haven't heard anything from any school, and it seems like they ghosted me.

Any international applicants waiting for the interview invitation? I saw a few interviews here but should not be all of them. Is it still any chance to get interview invitation in this month for international students?

Have anyone else received the video assessment invitation from Purdue Krannert? Is it a requirement for every applicant this year?

Those who received an interview email earlier this month, did you get an additional email specifying your interview date?

Contacted potential advisors beforehand
