Hi, I know that there are often two processes after a PhD interview: the school will decide whether (1) you get a place; (2) whether you get funding. From your experience, did you hear back from your potential supervisors first whether you get a place or did you get to know both at the same time? It's been almost three weeks since my interview and I haven't heard anything from the school. The chair of the interview did say to me that the first process will be quick and the second will take up to 4-8 weeks. Does this mean I won't be offered a place?
