Rutgers clinical interviews are this weekend, and there were pre-interviews already. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if you were going to hear, I think you would have by now. 🙁
I think you are referring to the PhD program, while the original poster was asking about the PsyD. I think the PsyD interview date is Feb 27, and I haven't heard a peep about invites going out.

I spoke to a woman at the PsyD program who said that invites will go out "mid February" so I think we have a little more time on this one.
Yeah, it looks like invites went out around the 14th last year for a similar interview day. This is a shot in the dark: but does anyone know how flexible Rutgers PsyD is in providing alternate interview days/phone interviews? I applied there and am very interested in interviewing with them (should I be given an interview), but already have an interview scheduled for the 27th.

Interview: March 2nd
The secretary from the department emailed me back and said invitations going out this week. Based on the TGC's forum from previous year, rejection letters are sent via postal and invites are via phone calls. Maybe it'll be the same this year? Who knows. Good luck!
Who was the secretary that sent out the invitations? This is weird because I just received something yesterday--a formal letter in the mail and an e-mail invitation from a grad student. I am just wondering why they send out invitations 2 weeks apart? It is for the same interview day too.
I wouldn't give in to melancholy just yet - their interview date is still 3-ish weeks away, no rejections, and for me personally I haven't heard anyone getting invites from my POI.
Hi, I'm a 4th year student at IUP. I just checked with our training director. Most invites have gone out but there are a few that have not gone out yet.
Hang in there. I know how stressful this process can be. Good luck to everyone!
Thank you for your response! I've gotten several interviews, but IUP is my first pick. Oh well. Thanks again for your response!

Hey - I'm in the same boat. I have an interview on the 27th already and when I called to ask when we would hear about interviews I asked the woman about this and she said that it is possible to make other arrangements such as a phone interview or coming to interview on another day. However, she did say that "attending interview day on the 27th is important because it gives the school the best opportunity to get to know you in a number of different formats." Then she added that "every year at least one person has gotten in who was not able to attend interview day..."
Oh, this is great news. Thanks for sharing, Cogdissonance! Now let's just hope that we both hear some positive news from Rutgers PsyD next week.
Hey all!
Thanks for all the kind advice you guys gave over my little problem a few days ago. I just got word today that the program whose interview I could not attend is kindly arranging for me to visit them on an alternate day this week. 😀 Everyone was totally nice about it, and I don't feel like it's ultimately going to hurt my chances for admission.
Bottom line: Like many have said on here before, it doesn't hurt to ask these schools if you have a problem or conflict. The worst that can happen is that they'll say "no". Either way, you learn a little something about the vibe of the place. And, best case scenario, everything will work out. Good luck everyone!

Are you applying clinical, counseling, or school psych at Fordham? UB's combined counseling/school psych had interviews last weekend. Not sure about clinical.

I applied for the school psych at Fordham. UB didn't send me a rejection letter...I wonder why...
I'm a student in the school psych masters at UB. They normally wait until they make admissions offers to send out letters. Not sure why because we are of course sitting on the edge of our seats. When did you hear from Fordham? Who contacted you?

Interviews scheduled for the weekend of March 2nd
It appeared to be a mass email
I would like to hear of any applicants who applied to St. Louis University to let me know if they received any information yet. I received an invitation to log into a chat regarding financial aid for February 9th and wondered if anyone else received this information?
Only had two full out rejections, two implied rejections, and the rest of the programs leaving me hanging with no interviews but no rejections either.
But yes, anyone with information regarding St. Louis University's clinical psychology program, please update? Thanks.

it was a massive e-mail. I heard from them today at 9:00pm. The admissions committee director sent the e-mail. So does this mean that I lost my chance at UB? I am sad, I really wanted to have a chance there. What about Amherst? anyone heard from the PhD program there?
Thanks! Are you also applying for school psychology? Where have you applied?
Have you checked your application status at UB? Have you been accepted anywhere? Good luck on your interview!!!

The UMass Boston invites are out. According to the first page they went out Feb 1st.
I've been wondering about St. Louis, too. I got the financial aid e-mail from them a few weeks ago, then i got another one from them tonight that's an open house for all grad programs. got excited because I thought I got an interview
but nothing besides that so far. still waiting for st. john's too!I was referring to West Lafayette, which is who the previous poster said they contacted.
I received the email on Jan. 19 and the interview is Feb 9-10th.
I applied for the Dec. 1st deadline, interviewed on Jan 6th, and was accepted a week or so back. However, I am fairly certain they are still reviewing applications -- it really seems like they do things on a rolling basis!
That is incredibly weird that they would tell us that they only do phone interviews. I contacted the Psychology department too. Would you mind PMing me your POI?
I'm waiting on this too!!! i'm about to contact the coordinator to see whats going on, im going crazy!

I got the financial aid email and the 'open house' email from St. Louis too. So I'm not crazy- the latter email is too broadly worded and unspecific for it to be the official interview email right? In which case, I wish they'd stop sending us irrelevant information...those emails are a letdown.I've been wondering about St. Louis, too. I got the financial aid e-mail from them a few weeks ago, then i got another one from them tonight that's an open house for all grad programs. got excited because I thought I got an interview
In other news, got a personalized phone call from my POI at University of Houston yesterday, followed by a personalized email invitation to interview on 2/24 and 2/25.

Yes, I got those emails (re: Financial Aid Chat and open house) too and I got excited but they just might be sending those to everyone. Because when I emailed them they said they are going to be making decisions by next week.
Yeah I applied for PhD, PsyD and master programs in School psych.
I just started hearing back from some of them. I am so nervous about university of Massachussetts Amherst. Has anyone heard from them yet?
I was going crazy too! Fordham sent me an e-mail back in January that they were going to e-mail feb 7 those people who qualified for an interview. I was waiting all day! And the email came at 9pm. I was sitting at the edge of my chair. But we got it at least lol.
