除了schulich(York),还会有学校的电话面试必须由申请人打过去吗？

不可理喻，York居然非要我打电话过去，我写信要求他们打过来，他们坚持。真是从没听说过！大家还有谁碰到过这样的事情吗？

In principle, you should contact the school since you apply for the admission.

it will be nice for them to call you though.

我肯定是跟shulich联系的呀，因为通知我面试的就是他们，其他被shulich要求面试的同志也是自己打电话过去的吗？多谢大家的经验分享

most schools require so, such as UofM.

it is the general practice here. For an analogy, think of application fees. Why you have to pay for it?

and interview is part of your application.

After you get here, you won't find it strange.

if you want something, you have to pay for it.

yes, just because interview is part of my application, i have paid application fee for it. Why should i pay twice? the other 2 schools i've applied also interviewed me, one school directly called to me by appointment, the other school let me decided which one i prefer. i have thought that's the practice. who request it, who pay it. am i wrong?

是不是有同志觉得我追究这个问题有点无聊，嗬嗬，主要是学校这么做让我很惊讶，也很不爽，我交这么多申请费不就是用来干这些的嘛。按照商业惯例，你发起这个事情，你控制整个过程的时间长短，当然应该你打过来，对吧？而且之前，还真没听说那个学校非要申请人自己打过去的。

Schools may use different practice.

It is not a right-or-wrong question.

Without a interview, they can simply reject you. What can you do?

You will end up lossing a chance, application fee and just save a long-distance phone call fee.

You can make a right judgement. It is not up to you to decide on this matter. THat is the life.

I hope I made my point clear.
