2009-2010 Grad School Interview Invite Thread!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Interview invite to Penn State's Clinical PhD program! Woot woot! 🙂
 
Just a heads up to those of you who may have applied to University of Central Florida. I work as a undergrad RA in the psych dept. and have heard that invites are going out tomorrow (1/13). Not sure how accurate this is, but they will prob come soon.

Thanks for the heads up! I think that just made me a little more nervous, as I am very interested in working with one of the professors there. Eek!

I have applied to UCF and I am interested in working w/ 2 professors there. Let's hope we hear something!😀
 
I would really appreciate Denver POI information if anyone is willing to share!

Thank you!
 
I would also love to know the POIs from the Denver Child Clinical Interviewees, if you are comfortable sharing.

Also, futureapppsy2, what would you think about including the number of ppl who received invites as well in the info? I don't know if it's too much work... but it would be helpful to gauge if a program sent out a bunch in one day vs spread them out....

Congrats to those who got invites!

I've decided not to do that out of respect for people's privacy. For example, I'm pretty sure cross applying with only one other poster to a program; if I got an invite and posted the "number of invites recieved" info, and s/he didn't that would "out" me to him or her, either for getting me getting an invite or me not (several of these have come from people who don't post here). Hope that makes sense!

If whoever got an invite from Michigan (Clinical) could PM me their POI, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and congrats!!
 
Anybody know if GWU gave out all their PsyD invites today, or will they continue to extend them tomorrow and later this week?

DITTO!!! GWU Psyd was my number one and I am DYING!!! GEEZ... I'm really wondering if this was it, or if they have more invites to extend. Any info would be appreciated!
 
I saw the University of Georgia and Florida State University were on the list of invites. Anyone know if I should officially narrow my list from 15 to 13??

Ugh, when should I expect to hear something?🙁

What's keeping my hopes alive is that there are 4 interview dates. There's no way they could've called THAT many people today, right?

OMG, that's true. Plus, last year they took two days to call. BUT - it doesn't make it any less nerve racking! I was not expecting to see GW on the list so soon since last year was two weeks later. *Sigh*

Yeah, seeing that on the list kinda startled me. I wasn't expecting anything from them for awhile (not that I was expecting anything at all).

Oy. My first experience finding a program I've applied to pop up on "the" list. Must remain calm. Confident... Focused.......

If we lock this list will it all just go away? :lock:

Both University of Georgia and Florida State University have sent out official invites from the department by now (on top of POI contacts) (FSU even sent it again by snail mail). There is always a chance that they could ask someone else last minute, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. [Keeping in mind that, for example, UGA's day is next weekend and Fl. first week of Feb.] Sorry :/.
 
If anyone who received invites to these interviews would be kind of enough to PM me your POIs, I would be so grateful!!!

These are two of my top choices...I'm freaking out!

Thanks for the update. Still keeping positive, it only takes 1 🙂

I think you're right. And good advice...freaking out will NOT make it go away .. even though it makes me feel better :laugh:
 
I would love to know POIs from the UDenver and Michigan Ann Arbor folks, but if you are not comfortable sharing I completely understand. :luck:
 
Hello,

Noticed that the U of Memphis update says "invites given 1/22" - did you mean to write that invites were given on 1/12, or that they will be given out on the 22nd?

Also, if they were given out today, could whoever got invtes PM me their POI?

THANKS!!
 
I wonder if DCTs might span these interviews out over a couple of days? I hope? Anyone on the East Coast get a Denver interview?


I am east coast and waiting to hear from Denver. You think it was spread out? The DCT emailed, too. Agh.
 
I feel like I'm playing the lottery and I'm waiting for my numbers to come up...

Unfortunately my palms don't itch😛

D'oheth! Fixed.
 
1). Whomever was invited to interview at University of Missouri-Columbia's Clinical Program, could you please either post on the thread or send the date of the interview to futureapp? I'd be most appreciative!

2). Was the invite to Penn State's Clinical Program for the adult or child track? Same thing (post on the thread, send this to futureapp or myself)!

Thanks and congratulations!

hmm i just recently received an email from the POI at florida state clinical phd saying he was just starting to review... kinda odd, dont wanna get anyone elses hopes up... Maybe I could also hear from the FSU people by PM?

Thanks
 
hmm so if the two Vermont people dont mind PM'ing me, if they dont feel comfortable telling me who their POI was if I could at least tell them my POI and see if that was a match. 🙂

I am pretty sure my guy is either a) slower or b) not doing prescreen interviews...

I appreciate it and cheers to all on the good day... mine was not so fortunate 🙁

Ah - odd but not entirely weird. If some interviews were rejected by applicants (i.e., they couldn't come) or some professors decided that they may be taking fewer students - that could have freed up some slots for another professor to take more on. And I guess they'd still have some time to do a review of applicants comfortably (although less comfortably for people who'd have to buy last minute plane tickets).
 
Just a heads up to those of you who may have applied to University of Central Florida. I work as a undergrad RA in the psych dept. and have heard that invites are going out tomorrow (1/13). Not sure how accurate this is, but they will prob come soon.

Just as an addendum to this, we (I'm a first year) were told that faculty were meeting tomorrow to make final decisions, not necessarily extending invitations. Expect them as early as tomorrow but also in the days to come. (In other words, don't lose hope if you don't hear tomorrow).
:luck:
 
Vermont people, please PM me as well and let me know who your POI is. Thanks a ton!
 
Hi anyone who was given a UCONN invite can you please pm me with your POI. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
 
Yipes -- missed the U Michigan update. Many congratulations to whomever snagged that! :bow:

If you'd be so kind as to shoot me a PM re: your POI I'd appreciate it no end!
 
Hi, can the person who received the UMichigan invite send me a pm regarding who's their POI? I would be extremely grateful! If you don't feel comfortable with that, can I at least tell you my POI and you can just tell me if it's that one? Thanks.
