But isn't it weird I got the invite together with the interview invite?
How can they be unsure if I haven't been interviewed? Or is it usually done like that?
Seems like a 'hunger games' event. Lolz
Honestly,
My personal view would be that they went through your application and thought:
ok so we will get a better idea of who this guy (or girl) is through the application, but we would also like to have a feel of how (s)he interacts with others.
I imagine if you're not in a position where you have a lot of interpersonal contact, they would default invite you?
but then again, I'm speculating, no one but your Adcom would be able to tell you that.
Best of luck though, it's closer than you think.
I keep thinking the 17th is far away, and then I think: next week I'll be in Singapore for work, the week after, I'll be in Saudi Arabia, and ...
then it's Assessment day week

and 2 weeks after that it's decision time.
time flies. I honestly feel as if summer just ended. and we're nearly Christmas.
