دوست عزیز بستگی به دانشگاه و مقطعی که میخواین بخونین داره.
دانشگاههای ایالات متحده اکثرا من ندیدم مصاحبه بخوان. شما اگر استادی پیدا کرده باشین خودشون اگه بخوان قرار مصاحبه باهاتون میذاره ولی این مورد هم باز کم پیش میاد و واقعا باید استاد روی شما نظر + داشته باشه تا بیاد مصاحبه کنه بعد مثلا برتون داره. این مصاحبه البته unofficial هست! یعنی استاد هست و شما و به پروسه اپلای ربطی نداره و مساله فاند مطرحه.
یا نه، بعضی از دانشگاهها مثل بعضی از دانشگاههای ترکیه بله بعد سابمیت و پذیرش باهاتون قرار مصاحبه میذارن و اگر قبول بشید اعلام میکنن یه ماه بعد.
بازم تاکید میکنم بستگی به کشور و دانشگاه داره.

بااحترام
