I'd like to know this as well! I think they made some phone calls Friday and interviews were starting this week...I hope thats not all of them though!!
VCU Clinical offered two dates for interview 2/3 and 2/24. I'm interviewing this week. I assume that they will make decisions soon after. This is part of the reason I chose the later date. I would probably be ridiculously anxious by now!

I actually just got a call from Pace. So they aren't done yet!
I also got an acceptance e-mail from WSU Counseling last week. It was via e-mail, from my POI. There was no interview. I'm also waiting to hear from CSU though, nothing yet.

has anyone who applied to gallaudet heard back?
I interviewed at two schools so far, one school had us interview with two separate faculty members individually. Both of them asked what other schools I applied to or interviewed at. It didn't seem like it was prying but more in a curious way. They spoke very highly of the other programs and one had even attended another school that I had applied to. That being said, I don't think it would have made any better or worse of an impression if I had said that this was the first place im interviewing. It certainly didn't seem to me like the question to worry about.
I got a voicemail from them on friday but only actually spoke with them today.
I just spoke to someone from pace's admissions department about the combined school/clinical program. I was told that if you haven't heard back from them yet it doesn't mean anything, as they will be sending out invites to interview even up until april! I'm not sure how that is possible since I thought we were supposed to choose which program to attend by then, but that is what i was told. Hope this helps!

I have an interview dress question and I wanted to get some feedback. I was unavailable for one of my school's interview weekends and they were willing to let me come another day (so awesome). I have a packed schedule (full of interviews with POIs/other faculty, meeting with grad students, etc.) so I imagine it's really similar to the real interview day.
Seeing as I'm the only applicant, what should I wear? Should I wear my suit (like I did at other interview weekends with lots of applicants)? Should I wear my nice business casual clothes (I wear this for formal dinners with faculty/grad students)? I like wearing the suit when there are a ton of other applicants but I feel like it might be out of place for this occasion since this is a normal day for the rest of the grad students/faculty.
Thoughts? Also, I'm female so I feel like I can get away with not wearing a formal suit. Oh, this is also an extremely competitive program and probably my top choice.

Syzergy -- I had two days like this (on one day, I was the only one; on the other, I was one of two). I wore my suit to both, and so far the results have been favorable - but this is by no means proof that the suit is necessary! As long as you look put-together, the most important thing is that you feel thoroughly awesome and confident in what you're wearing. Good luck - you'll do fantastically (and the fact that they're letting you come separately is always a promising sign)!!

My motto: it's better to be over dressed than under!
Hey at the school where I am an undergrad, we had an applicant interview on a day that was not "the interview day" and she was the only one. Yes, she did look out of place next to everyone else in their jeans and what not during our lab meeting but none of us were like O this is awkward.... She wore a dark suit with a green blouse/top. I know the graduate students in lab appreciated the fact that she was dressed up because it really showed that despite this not being "the interview day" she was taking it seriously and with the same respect as if it was. Yes you will probably feel out of place (maybe I am just projecting how I would feel) but after a little while you will get over it and realize people are looking at you thinking wow not who does she think she is showing up dressed less formally.

I applied to Seton Hall and have not heard back. Another user suggested that in previous years they have sent out invitations in late February.
Is the person who got rejected from UT Austin's clinical phd program on this thread? I haven't received any updates on the website or by email, and I'm jonesing to officially take them off of my list if we have the same POI.
I heard back from Temple's School Psych-- Interview 2/29.

PCOM and Chestnut Hill are apparently still reviewing applicants and have sent out their round 1 interviews. LaSalle, I received an interview from a couple days ago and it seems as if they are still sending their invitations out. Hope that helps!
Anyone wondering about U. of Pitt, just got this from their FAQ graduate psy website:
How will I be informed of my admission status?
Applicants will be contacted by a member of the faculty regarding their admission status.
All applicants will be notified of their admission status by March 15.

Hi applicants and interviewees! Congrats on your interviews!
As someone going through the internship match for the second time, I just wanted to urge you all to check out the internship stats - particularly match stats to APA accredited internships - for the programs that you're considering. I've been at an APA accredited PsyD grad program since 2007 now and I don't want anyone to waste time/money at a place that might not help them achieve their goals.
I lurked on a thread like this in 06/07 and I didn't understand the topics people were discussing as they didn't seem to apply to me (they actually didn't... POI, what?). But I didn't know to ask about what I didn't know, so here I am, stalled in my therapy/therapist career. PLEASE private message me (this may require you to join sdn, please do, inventing a name is fun ), if your particular concerns don't seem to be discussed at all on this thread. I may not be able to address them but I can maybe help out some of you.
Good luck!

It's a site kind of like this one where people post their admission updates. Just google "the grad cafe"

So I'm in a bit of a predicament...I received an acceptance from a school which is high on my list and have an interview at a school in about 1.5 weeks that I would probably not pick over this one even if I received an acceptance from them. I feel like I should email and inform them of this and to ask if they can remove me from the interview - just want to make sure I don't upset them and that I go about it the right way? Has anyone else been in this situation and how did you handle it? Should I even go to the interview?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I am in a similar situation, but after speaking to a few people about this, I made the decision to go to the interview for various reasons. One, you should focus of making an informed decision--what if you went to said interview and were blown away by the place and program once you visited? What if there were more opportunities to publish, more fitting clinical populations to work with, or a lab that you felt more comfortable in? Second, even if you're 100% sure that you would never attend the school that you still need to interview for--assuming that you applied to programs based on fit and similar research interests, realize that this particular POI may one day be a collaborator, or a colleague, or a person you come across at a conference. Therefore it's best to at east put your best foot forward, make an appearance, and make a good impression of yourself so that SHOULD you need to work with them someday, they will have a positive memory of you.
I hope this helps!
Congratulations, and good luck!

I received an acceptance from my top choice and opted to withdraw from my last three interviews. It was a tough choice but I asked myself if there was anything they could offer me that would change my mind, and the answer was no. I was in a unique situation since one I had interviewed at last year and another was working with a current mentor of mine. If there is even a chance that they could win you over, then I would encourage you to go. However, I wouldn't recommend going just to go. You are potentially taking up a spot for an applicant that really wants to go there and it creates more work for everyone involved in the process. Just as you are trying to find the best place for you to go, professors are trying to find the best student for their lab. I wanted to respect their search just as much as my own (and that of the other students that really do want to attend those programs). When I withdrew, everybody was very nice and appreciative.

I agree.
I thought this initially too, but after speaking to my adviser (who is faculty at a very reputable Clinical program), he assured me that this was not the case and assured me to go. Most professors have a back-up wait list as well--and there is the possibility for individuals to still be accepted even if they haven't interviewed. You are only taking someone's spot if you wait until April 15th to make a decision. Again, everyone is different an has their own reasons for doing what they do, I just provided my take on the situation.

I also heartily agree. To hold a interview and/or spot that you have no intention of taking is disrespectful not only to your future cohort/classmates/colleagues, but to the faculty. Even if they would accept someone without an interview, you will be denying them the opportunity to interview someone who they may just end up working with for the next 5 years.
Hi All,
I received an individual email offering an interview for La Salle's PsyD Program on 3/16/12. I spoke with the receptionist earlier this week too, and she said they were still going through applications and would be offering interviews through next week...so if you're waiting, don't give up hope!

Thank you for that info!
Offer of acceptance today from Colorado State University's Counseling Psychology.
I received an email and a phone call.
It sounded like today was their first day of notifications, but that's speculative.
No interview.
Good luck all! Thanks for the support and community.
