3.9 gpa for MA at columbia

Hey y'all! This forum has gotten me through some seriously hard times the last two years, so I thought the least I could do was post my results. This is my second time applying for Brown PhD (and third time applying for Brown overall... I applied ED as an undergrad and also got the ax), and between then and now I went on to do a master's and continued developing my research. My application and writing sample both changed quite a bit. I was devastated last year when I got rejected, but it never hurts to try again. If you don't know, the admissions committee (i.e. the specific and randomized group of faculty who happen to be reviewing applications that year) changes every year, and you never know who is going to be on it. Plus, new people join the faculty all the time. If it didn't work out this year, there's a big chance the people reading your app just happened to have a mismatch of research interests. Don't give up!

Accepted to 1+3, combined MSc and PhD in Science and Technology Studies at the School of Social and Political Science. Unconditional offer for MSc and conditional offer for PhD (required to complete MsC).

Invited to the graduate recruitment events on 2/2 and interview on 2/3

Email from the program administrator offering three interview time slots for the end of the week and the beginning of the following week. The interviews are 15-mins over zoom with the "Graduate Student Committee" that manages admissions. I inquired who comprised the committee and received the names of three faculty members, none of whom are the potential advisors that I mentioned in my application or statement.
