Chicago, ILPosted Oct 2015 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process for UChicago took longer than I expected, and the timing was part of what shaped the experience.

I first went through a phone interview, then moved to a full-day on-site format where I met with six faculties for about thirty minutes each. Between those one-on-one conversations, I also joined a class and seminar, so the day wasn’t just interviews—it was a chance to see the academic setting firsthand.

The questions stayed connected to my fit for the PhD track: my background, my plans for study, and how my interests aligned with faculty work. Each meeting was relatively focused, and by the time the on-site day ended, I felt like I had a strong sense of what each faculty member cared about
