Note

TTPB: I'm not sure *exactly* what odds of getting in after interview are, but my guess is 46%. Here's my estimation: (1) For a similar infosci program, there were about 5x acceptances last year as posted acceptances on gradcafe. (2) Since there are 6 interview posts for this program this year, let's assume there were actually 6*5 = 30 interview invites. (3) Another poster said there are 14 places this year. (4) That leads to a post-interview acceptance rate of 14/30 = 46%. I think 46% feels somewhat right. That would mean the odds of getting an interview are 10%, and I think that tracks with previous year selectivity.
