So, I don't think it's common. It means it will be challenging to me, given the high calibre of the people I should work with.

I received the second confirmation... so I'm in! I still have my other application... I just sent an email to check the timeframe in order to make my decision!

thank you both for your replies!
this application in particular was 'project specific'. I received today the letter and I was accepted. but I still need to know the outcome for the linked-scholarship.
However, the info you gave me are very useful because I have also another application that is slightly behind in terms of timeframe ( I submitted my own proposal with my potential supervisor). This second application is not linked to a specific project or specific scholarship. It's good to know how it works and to have an idea of the timeline! I really don't want to bother too much the admission office asking for constant updates! so I bother this forum instead :P

Hi!

I did a video PhD interview on Skype. I've been told via email, later that day that my interview went well [I can let you know that your discussion went well ]. However, they also added that [any recommendation for the scholarship is subject to approval by the Graduate School in the Business School and confirmation of a supervisory team].
Now there's the easter break and they told me that I will have an update next week.

I am happy for the positive feedback, but I don't fully understand if I most likely have the position, and it is only a matter of signatures or if they are just polite and they'll let me know! Probably it's because I am not a native English speaker...
I did the interview on Tuesday, and got the answer straight that day and update the day after. I had to reschedule the interview because I am also working, and finishing my MBA, so I guess I could have been the last one that they interviewed.

What's your opinion?
I am quite anxious to know the outcome and cannot think of anything else!!!!!

Thank you!!!
Ele
