If you don't get an interview, but also don't get a rejection .. does it mean you are probably on a waiting list? Just wondering! I applied to UVA (Curry School of Education), UNC Chapel Hill, Catholic University of America, and some others... I have seen people say that they got a rejection e-mail but I have not gotten a rejection. Does that really mean anything?

I think some schools email rejections as a courtesy, but most just wait until you are "officially" no longer in consideration, which for the most part is after the incoming class is secured. If the school requires an interview, and you did not get an invitation (assuming they have gone out), it's highly unlikely that you would receive an offer. This is just my understanding of the situation.

Could you confirm that the interview is 1/15? Or is it 2/15?
Sorry for the late response!

My phone interview was held on the same day that I was contacted (January 15th). On-site interviews are not required for this program, but accepted applicants will be invited to their Welcome Weekend that is tentatively scheduled for the last weekend in February (maybe 2/26-2/28). I will edit my original post to make that more clear! :)

haven't heard a peep either, but it looks like last year, they sent out all of their invites by the end of January.

I received an invitation to interview at Washington State on 1/22/16. I'm not sure if they are finished issuing invites or not. Hope this helps.
 
I haven't heard anything either for rejection or acceptance to any of the universities I applied to. I guess no news is better than "No" news at this point. Hate the waiting game.

Hello everyone, interviews be rolling! I was wondering if anyone has heard from:
Marquette University (Clinical)
Penn State University (Cognitive Psychology)
UT Austin (Clinical)
St. Louis University (Clinical)
Drexel University (Clinical)
University of Arizona (Clinical)
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Cognitive Neuroscience)
University of Utah (Clinical)
USC (Clinical Science)

Some are not clinical, I understand. But any word from these?? Driving me nuts that it's almost the end of February and I haven't heard from any. I'm hoping no news is good news, but it seems that Marquette, UT Austin, and University of Utah are out on GradCafe...

My POI at Utah invited me to interview last week. They supposedly had meetings over the last two weeks to discuss applicants, but I'm not sure if all invites were issued.
 
I saw on TGC that someone heard from the clinical program at UMass Boston. Did other people hear from them today too? If you don't mind, please inbox me your POI. Thank you!

According to The Grad Cafe, all Drexel invites have been sent out. I'd go check out the Grad Cafe to check the others on your list. I think I saw something for USC on there last week or the week before.
 
Good morning all!
Us East-Coasters are pretty buried in this snow! Winter is definitely upon us!

For those who are interested, I contacted Wyoming this morning to see if all interview invites have been extended, as this is one of my top choices. If you haven't heard anything yet, stay the course! The gal I spoke with stated that we should hear something in the next week or so if we are to be invited. Good luck everyone!

Now I'm imagining 'lil Bub at an interview, doing that growly meow at a professor, talking about why she wants to be a psychologist.
