I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Georgetown University (Washington, DC) in May 2017
Interview
I got the interview in May 2017. Usually, it would be before April. It was a group interview with the committee of the Ph.D. admission program. They asked me several questions, some are related to the field, some are not. It went smooth.
It was good, friendly, personable and enjoyable - looks like a good place to work, in a beautiful city. the fact that this has to be 30 word minimum is a little ridiculous and that the whole program is locked unless you add it.
