I'm waiting to hear from Catholic, Fordham and Miami too. I saw in grad cafe someone heard from their Miami POI a little while ago, there could still be hope.. good luck!
Haven't heard anything from Boston U either. Has anyone hear from Stony Brook or the SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program?

I noticed that a few people have suggested waiting to contact departments for a little while longer in regards to applications, interviews, etc.
This is my second time through this process and I am not feeling to good about it. I dont want to do anything that might harm my chances but if interview weekends are coming up very soon or interviews have already been finished, is there any harm in sending an email to the departments?

I would wait until Monday of next week to start contacting places... For a lot of schools, this is the first week back from holidays. Although, I am noticing a lot of clinical programs have sent out interview invites already. Counseling seems to be slower.
Congrats! I applied there too. Hopefully, I get good news soon.
I applied to U Miami and got an email about my interview about a week ago. However, I believe this email was only for the Health Track applicants.
I applied to Fordham as well and I haven't heard anything yet. Good luck!
I've received phone pre-interviews at both Florida State (today, from POI) and Michigan (December, from POI). Still waiting on my other schools.

The first post of this thread has now been updated to say that all Yale interview invites have been sent out. Where's this info from? Not that I was counting on Yale, but still, I'm curious.
I also applied to Catholic and Temple and have yet to hear back from either of them, if it makes you feel any better.
I still haven't heard anything from UPenn and BU either. Nothing yet for you since you posted this? Or anyone else for that matter?
I'm waiting to hear back from them as well. I've also applied to:
University of Oregon
University of Washington
Rutgers
Harvard
Duke
University of Missouri
Duquesne
University of Rochester
I've heard back from Oregon so far. Has anyone else heard from the others?

For anyone waiting for a decision from the Idaho State University Clinical program, I spoke with the department this morning and they told me notifications will go out on February 1.
Orange44,
Congratulations! Who was your POI and did you apply to the regular clinical program or psychology and law?
Trying to plan ahead and be able to coordinate interview dates. Does anyone have information on any of these schools:
Vanderbilt - have all invited gone out? Which POIs have people been contacted by?
University of Denver - anyone know what dates the interviews will be held?
UPenn - when will the invitations go out? and are the phone interviews first?
U of Minnesota - again, have all invited gone out?
I wish they would just be open with us so we could know, either way!

I had a phone pre-interview with my POI at UPenn on Friday. He said the admission committee was meeting this week, so I'm assuming invites would go out end of this week or next? He didn't give me an exact timeline. The interview dates are Feb 22/23 or Feb 28/Mar 1, according to an email the department sent out in December (there was an error in the application regarding those dates). Hope that helps!
I also received a pre-phone interview invitation to take place this week from UIUC for their Clinical-Community program, from the Director of Clinical Training.
Do you mind if I ask you who your POI is that contacted you? Just because then I'll know if my chances are slim or not...
They have started inviting people to interview the end of last week. I don't know if they are still contacting people.
Good luck!
Thanks so much for the info!
Oh no! This is one of my top choices! Was this invitation a mass email or is the secretary emailing applicants individually? This is my second time applying, and I didn't get any interviews last year, so I am super nervous that I haven't heard back from any schools yet this year.
Was Uni of Oregon for Counseling or Clinical PhD? I'm waiting to hear re :Counseling so fingers crossed you applied to clinical!
For those that asked about a couple other schools, I made some phone calls yesterday and here's what I was told, from those that answered:
- Columbia TC is sending out emails in Feb.
- NYU Steinhardt couldn't give any info re: timeline for invites
- Widener is still reviewing apps/gathering materials for a majority of applicants
- Uni of Denver will send out emails in "mid to late Jan" for interview in "mid to late Feb"
I'm still unsure about:
- UT Knoxville
- UT Austin
- BC
- UGA
I received an email on the 4th from Chicago School of Professional Psychology for an interview on Feb 11th, applied to Clinical Psyc, PsyD, Chicago campus, general track.
Oh, and that is all in regards to Counseling PhD programs, not clinical. Hope that helps! And if anyone can clarify re: U of Oregon, let me know!! GOOD LUCK ALL!!

I spoke with a lady in the graduate office at Pitt. Professors have not started sending out invites for interview but will soon. She said they will most likely call rather than email. Interview weekend is Feb 15 and 16.
Individual email and it's still very early **fingers crossed**

Best of luck!
