2014-2015 Official Psychology Ph.D./PsyD Interview Invite Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Can anyone claim Pittsburgh post on TGC? I didn't apply to clinical-developmental, but would like to know if all the invitations are extended for the clinical program. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone heard from the University of Southern Mississippi? If so, did you receive an email from DCT or the POI. If POI, do you mind messaging me your POI? Thanks!

Has anyone heard if Rhode Island or American have finished sending their interview invites?

AU's first interview date is next week, so I suspect they've made their decisions. Sorry :-( Good luck with Rhode Island, though!
 
I just called University of Vermont and the Graduate coordinator informed me that all interview invites have been sent out as of today for the Clinical Psych PHD program all tracks. Yet I havent seen anything on here or TGC. :(

Has anyone heard back from Harvard, SUNY Albany, UC Boulder or Louisville for Clinical PhD? If you have could you PM your POI? Thanks!

I feel your pain :/

There were three posts around the second week of January on TGC regarding Vermont, but I heard the same thing about today being the last day for an interview invite from the coordinator as well.
 
I'm probably not the first to report either of these, but oh well.

Did anyone apply to University of Nevada Reno for the Clinical PhD?
I did. I very much doubt they've done much more than start glancing at applications, particularly given their later due date. Historically they've not sent out invites earlier than the end of the first week in February.

For those of you asking about University of Maryland-College Park, I contacted my POI today to find out if all interview invites have already been extended. My POI is no longer taking a student due to budget constraints. Not entirely sure if this applies to many of the faculty or just mine.

I received an invite for the Counseling Psych program about a month ago. It was from the DCT.

I have a wide range of interests (there are several faculty I could work with), but on the app, I specifically mentioned Dr. Kaniasty and Dr. Long. What about you?

This is so helpful, thanks!! Would you mind sharing your POI? Maybe PM? It's strange there hasn't been a peep form Maryland's Clinical on any of the boards.

I didn't mention anyone specifically however I would like to work with Dr. Johnson or Dr. Kaniasty. :)

Funny enough, I was "that guy" who said that Nova would be releasing initial invites this week and I haven't seen anything on TGC or here, so, has anyone received anything from Nova yet by chance?

I'd emailed American yesterday, and got a message back saying interview invites for 1/30 and 2/9 have been sent out but they may be sending more out later. We know what that means though
 
Has anyone heard anything from UCLA's Health Psychology program (non-clinical)? I haven't seen anything on TGC or here yet.
 
Anyone heard from Pittsburgh clinical?
 
Well UMD College Park clinical is a big no. You can check your status on the website.

Anyone heard from Pittsburgh clinical?

I heard back from the Joint Health-Clinical PhD program last week.

School Name: University of Pittsburgh
Date Interview Invite Received: 1/19
Degree: PhD
Type: Joint Health-Clinical
Track: N/A
Notified via: Phone call
From: POI
Interview Date: 2/20 - 2/21
 
Exactly! Has me constantly checking TGC, here and their website.
The neuropsych concentration (perhaps the department) did invites and required a response by 1/16. I'm not sure if anyone was unable to make it or if more were sent out the next week. Interview dates are 2/12-13 and 2/16-17.

I haven't heard reports of anything for just clinical. Seems like historically they call out around the mid twenties of January, guessing it'll be next week if it hasn't happened yet.
 
From Suffolk University, Has anyone heard from Neuropsych track interviews??
Have all the interviews been sent already?
 
Has anyone heard from the University of Montana, University of Virginia, or VTech yet? Thanks!
Virginia Tech informed me that they're done sending out interview invitations. They were done at the beginning of January.

I had applied to the neuropsych track and I received an invite. I suspect that they have all been sent, but I don't know for certain.

Could you please check on MySuffolk Applicant Portal if your status has been updated to "invited for interview"? Mine still says that no decision has been made yet

Is anyone planning on flying into or out of the northeast for interviews in the next few days? Given the amount of snow that's forecasted, just wondering how others are handling this!

Saw on TGC that someone got an email rejection from ASU clinical..did anyone else get this? I'm pretty sure I'm out of the running for an interview, but maybe waitlisted?
I did. I recieved an email on Wednesday with a rejection.

I'm leaving wednesday for two back-to-back interviews up there and I'm pretty nervous. No one has mentioned anything though, I think they are waiting to see what happens.

How am I handling this? With panic attacks mostly, haha. I'm trying to just see how it looks when the time comes that I have to leave. Worse comes to worst (I'm telling myself) I drive super slowly and allot double the time to get there. But if they aren't cancelled, I'm going to make it happen!

I was supposed to leave tonight for an interview tomorrow (rescheduled due to scheduling conflict) and my flight was already cancelled. I emailed to offer an alternative day or to Skype, so I'll see what they say. I really wouldn't worry too much. It's out of your control and the programs totally understand that these things happen all the time, especially in the middle of winter.
