Would someone PM me their POIs if theyve received an invite to SDSU/UCSD or UCLA? Thanks!
Is it poor manners to send your POI an email asking about the invite process? My POI was extremely responsive to emails before I applied, so I figured I'd ask here rather than just assume it's taboo.
To the person who asked about Harvard, I'm still waiting too. Not sure what to believe on TGC!

I contacted the program coordinator at Penn, and was told that the invitations are extended.Has anybody heard from University of Florida's or University of Pennsylvania's clinical psychology programs? Correspondence from both programs have been pretty minimal on this site and on the GradCafe results page.

In regards to the posts about Harvard:
A graduate student I work with was invited to both Harvard and Yale for interviews several years back. This may be information people with which everyone is already familiar; however, she mentioned that both schools do not technically have "interview weekends", but rather "visiting days". These are sometimes done on an individual basis (lab by lab), versus a communal interview weekend like most schools. So, while some labs who have guaranteed funding may be those sending out invites, others might still be "waiting in line". Both schools are supposed to send out mass rejection emails.
In addition, both POIs I applied to work with from Harvard and Yale were uncertain of whether they would have funding to accept a graduate student this year and said they "would not know until late in the admissions process," (how 'late' is now something I question...) but encouraged me to apply with that caveat in mind. I have not received any follow up information from those POIs, but will update if I hear something that might be of utility for others waiting.
Apologies for redundancy in the event that this is common knowledge info : )
Hi. Do you mind me asking who your POI is? Do you know if all the DePaul invites have been extended?School Name: DePaul
Date Interview Invite Received: 1/13/2015
Degree: PhD
Type: Clinical
Track: Child
Notified via: Phone
From: POI
Interview Date: 2/13 and 02/16
Told email from department would come later this week. Applicants get choice of interview date (either 2/13 or 2/16)
FYI, pretty sure BU is another program with some weirdness about which faculty actually get to take students, so it might be more departmental than personal.Just in case anyone is wondering, I called the clinical program at BU and was told that all interview invites were extended...sad...

I got an email from Suffolk in early January saying my application was complete and initial interview invites would be sent out February 4th, not sure if some POIs are sending them earlier, but I wouldn't worry about that one yet!HII!
has anyone heard from the University of Memphis or Suffolk University????

@HPB2015 The email said "I am pleased to inform you that you have made my short-list for acceptance into my lab and the clinical program at the University of Texas at Austin."
Maybe I am jumping the gun, which I very well could be, but she made no mention of dates for an interview, or an interview at all, and only asked for a phone conversation on Monday. If I have to alter my post after I speak to my POI, I will.

@Boothedog, I do believe Monday is indeed the interview, so congrats on getting an interview at your top choice!! Her wording could be improved, and short listing is pretty close, but just one more hoop to go through. (And there isn't necessarily an in person interview at every school, but there may be.) Good luck! (And if we're wrong, good on you!)
@JoePianist @HPB2015 I'm not afraid to admit I made a mistake. In my initial shock and extreme joy, I over interpreted the word "acceptance" and and wanted to share my news with the world!! However, now that my heart rate has come down and oxygen has reentered my brain, I can see what she intended...but I am still thrilled nonetheless!!
I have a friend who heard from Hofstra this week. I don't think it was their POI who called, but rather a grad student or admissions assistant. The interview date is way at the end of February, I believe (I think it says on their admissions page too). I have the same POI--I'll let you know if I end up getting a call too.anybody want to claim that only, lonely hofstra post on TGC? or anyone else hear from them?
