Comp Sci PhD Admissions: How often are Skype interviews requested? I am applying to several computer science PhD programs, and several professors who I mentioned in my statement of purpose have reached out requesting Skype interviews. My question is: how often are these requests made? Should I be very encouraged or is this standard procedure for almost all qualified applicants?
Time is one of the most valuable resources for professors – I know no one who just offers interviews for fun.
