Dear tjk,
my

about that.

As Impatient! said, it is 99% an RA offer.

I don' t have great communication skills (especially with people I do not know) and a couple of weeks ago I was contacted by email by a Prof., for a telephone interview.

I loved her research, but it was in a field different from mine (I have not even mentioned her, as possibile adviser because of that, despite my great interest for her studies) so I was more than happy but had your same perplexities about the phone interview itself.

I can assure you it is a formality (i received my official admission a couple of weeks after her email, and even before the phone interview: we had some other emails, b4 that)... BUT do talk to him/her on the phone: (s)he has already decided that (s)he wants you in her/his research group, and 99% your admission letter is already written

just wants to be sure you are motivated and wants to know you more.

Hope this helped to make you less nervous about that.

No need to worry, they do want you

but talk on the phone, otherwise they would think that you dont want them (despite your application

).

Good luck, sure everything will go better than well

P.S.: I would not say my phone interview was great ... but I know I am going to receive full aid + RA with the cited Prof ... So relax and wait for great news !!!
