Do you mind my asking if this was a personalized or mass message? I'm still waiting to hear from Temple

It was a standard form email with my name and the name of my POI stuck into it. It was not written by or sent from my POI, but it's possible that my POI just made her mind up before others and this fellow is sending these emails out as he gets information. Given how soon the interviews are, I expect people will have to hear in the next few days. Best of luck all!!!

University of Pittsburgh hasn't contacted anyone for interviews yet. a lady at the grad admissions office said that most POI's will call for interviews and they should be starting to make those calls soon. she didn't really clarify how soon though... 😕
Pre-interview call from Washington University in St. Louis last week. I don't know if all POIs made the calls, but in-person interview invites should be sent the end of this week or beginning of next week.

How were you notified: Email
Who notified you: POI
Interview Date: February 8th and 9th
Additional Info: $350 airfare covered, hotel provided, tour of neuroimaging facilities
*I'd also like to add that I am a very non-traditional student who does not come with the requisite stellar undergrad GPA, in an unrelated field no less. What I do bring to the table is a clearly defined focus and strong research background in techniques I hope to employ in my own research.
I feel that if I can get an opportunity to interview at my top choice school, so can each of us.
Okay, enough Pollyanna. Good luck to everyone!

Hear, hear! I am another non-traditional student so it is great to hear of your success. My GPA is quite good but I scored abysmally on the quantitative portion of the GRE, which has had me fairly concerned regarding having any invites extended for interviews. Needless to say I was incredibly pleased to hear back from U of Oregon, and am in the same boat as the rest of you trying to stay sane throughout this whole process.

In the same boat. It looks like last year people noticed their application status changed to REVIEWED before getting emails about interviews.

I was wondering if anyone had gotten an interview invite from University of Florida Counseling Program. I had a telephone interview with my POI, she said I would be notified last week and I havent heard anything. I am guessing it is a no. I tried to email her but have not gotten a response. thanks for the help!
I was wondering the same thing! I have been obsessively checking my email today and have not heard a peep! (and it's already almost 4 PM here)

Nothing here! I've been freaking out all day - I just want my phone to ring and my inbox to light up...my advisor has already joked with me about my OCD-related checking compulsions.

Glad to know it isn't just me.
Gradcafe isn't working for me... =(
I'm getting really nervous about GMU though. Ugh, looks like I'll be getting no interviews this year.
Don't get down yet! Nobody has reported invites from there, so you still have just as good of a chance as anyone 🙂
Thanks for the confidence! It's just hard to keep my head up during this whole process sometimes. I haven't heard from 3 of my 9 schools, so I guess I should keep hope.
EDIT: as in, 6 of my 9 schools have already extended interviews and I was not included =(

Hey Guys,
For those of you who have completed clinical phone interviews, could you share what kind of questions they ask over the phone? I'm so paranoid to be interviewed over the phone...
Thanks!!

Forget those schools! You don't want to go there anyway! 🙂
Sending positive vibes your way - it takes just one!

I feel the same way. This would also be great for counseling psych phone interviews as well.
Their website says on or around the 16th. I'm guessing tomorrow or Friday. Keep your head up!!
I have had two phone interviews for counseling and both have been pretty different. One was pretty structured and asked pretty basic questions such as:
"Give me 10 adjectives that describe you" (this one threw me for a loop!)
"why do you want to come here"
"what kind of research are you interested in?"
"Why do you want to work with me in particular?"
"what are your long term goals as a psychologist?"
My other interview was much less formal and was more of a conversation (this one went much better for me, but I think this was because I was a better fit for this program). She asked similar questions to the ones I listed above. Focus on being able to clearly state your research goals and you'll be all set! 😳 hope this helps
That may be a silly question but I cannot find that info for the life of it. Where on GMU's site do you see that?
I saw it on the website monday, but I actually can't find the information today either! So annoying.

Cool, thanks...totally missed that.
It does not appear to be a mass email as my name was at the beginning of the email, albeit spelled wrongly (common mispelling), leading me to believe that it was hand-typed.
thanks!! maybe there's still a chance then...
I emailed the grad coordinator (Jamie Longwell) for psych and got the bad news. Good luck.
Hi, was this a mass email?
