On a related note- does anyone know if programs communicate with each other so that interview dates don't overlap? Should we be wary of RSVPin to each interview invite as it comes in?

I applied to 10 schools back in 2007. I got 2 interviews out of the 10 and both happened to be the same weekend. I split my time between the two, went to one interview on Friday and the second on Saturday. I feel that I missed out on a lot by doing that, but had no alternative. I ended up being wait listed at both schools and then eventually accepted off the wait list by my second choice program. Good luck to all !
 
I'm new to the forum, I have applied to 11 Counseling Psychology Programs this fall:

Indiana University
University of Iowa
Boston College
University of Kentucky
University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee
Western Michigan University
Southern Illinois University-Carbondale
University of Missouri-Kansas City
New Mexico State University
University of Akron
University of Memphis

Everyone hanging in there okay waiting for interview invites? My constant obsessive checking these forums has slowed down a bit because of the holidays, but I'll probably pick the terrible habit back up after the first of the year.
 
haha I'm in the exact same position. And I totally agree, I should definitely postpone my anxieties till after NYE celebrations.
 
Good luck to everyone! I remember how stressful this process was when I was applying,

Also, one of my friends who is applying this year received an interview from VA Tech a couple weeks ago. I don't remember the exact date she heard and I don't know the interview dates, but I do know that the interview is for the clinical program and she was notified by phone from her POI.
 
Just got an interview by email directly from my POI for Stanford's affective science PhD program (this is a non-clinical, experimental psych program)! So excied!

I noticed that on Grad cafe someone mentioned interviewing with SUNY Stony Brook. Just wondering if anyone here has had an interview with them. Thanks!
 
I have followed this forum since last year when I applied and had 4 interviews but was waitlisted at each school. I figured this time around I could use some moral support from others going through this process! So far, I have received an interview invite from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I was rejected from Oklahoma State and waitlisted for an interview at the University of Southern Mississippi (these are all counseling programs). I applied to 19 programs total, so, here's hoping for several more interviews. Good luck everyone!! 😀
 
I also got an invite to ASU via email on the 27th, they offered a phone interview if unable to make it for the 15th or 18th interview dates. Said info on travel and housing accommodations would follow in a few weeks!
 
that's exactly what i've been worried about~ that one person...but aside from that i haven't seen anything. makes me wonder if that was just one pi?

Looks like we are in the same boat. But it should get hot in a week or so....did you accept the invite at UW-Milwaukee? If so, I'll see you there.
 
I applied to the following programs, has anyone heard from any of them?

Clinical Psychology
George Mason
University of Connecticut
University of Iowa
Purdue (West Layfette)
CUNY Grad Center (John Jay)

Counseling Psychology
Boston College
SUNY Albany
University of Oregon

Clinical-Community Psychology
Univeristy of South Carolina

Community Psychology
Portland State University

From past years it looks like the next week or so will be when invites are sent...
 
I applied to George Mason and UConn and haven't heard anything yet. I'm not sure what to think because they have sent out invites in December in past years...hoping they're just behind the normal schedule this round...
 
Hi guys, I applied to Michigan State for clinical psychology. I see on gradcafe that someone was invited for an interview and that they sent out a mass email of rejections. I did not get either. What could this mean?

If for some reason my application was not complete, would they still email me to tell me I was rejected or not email me at all?

Thanks!

Same here. I will probably call tomorrow and ask the latter question.
 
I really think it's still way too early to be contacting programs, even if you see invites posted on GradCafe. PIs might be extending invites at different paces, there might be other factors you don't know about, etc. It is JANUARY 3RD. I know it's hard, but I would advise waiting. Programs are inundated with calls like this.

If that was directed at me, I totally agree. However, my application actually shows as not having been processed and I've had to play phone tag with admissions over it and they don't seem to know why--so that question is applicable to my situation, unfortunately.

St. John's University
University of Texas Southwestern

I was feeling pretty good about getting the IU invite but then got sad when I found this list and found two schools that I applied to that have already sent interview invites (in mid-December). C'est la vie, I guess.

It looks like somebody heard back from FSU by poi. Have a bunch of people? I've gotten one interview and i'm hoping it's still to early to have heard back from the rest! :I

For FSU, it seems like it's just one lab so far. I haven't heard anything from my POI and I haven't seen any other posts on tgc or here about FSU interviews. Fingers crossed!

Do you mind sharing the interview date?

we find out about interviews soon, within the next 10 days. This initial phone conversation was a quick way to find out, I believe, how serious we are about an intensive 5 year research program.

Thanks! It does seem like one person but I am starting to lose hope on that one!
