Has anyone had any communication with them since interviews (3-4 weeks ago!) to get an idea of when they will let us know, more specifically? Thanks!!

Not sure if you're asking for clinical or counseling.
In case it's for counseling, I received an email that said to check the website for application status earlier this week. And it looks like others who were accepted/rejected/waitlisted got the email at the same time, according to the grad cafe.
I was waitlisted.
Hi, I just got an offer from Fordham! Hope you hear something soon!Ah. I was actually curious about clinical. But best of luck to you!
I think these are all good questions, but there is no standard answer for any of them. It all depends on the school. Each has its own inside politics, especially when funding is concerned. One of my professors has changed his mind 3 times since November about whether or not he is taking a student. I have heard of cases when professors say they are taking one but then give up the spot to give funding to someone else. So no one except who is currently in the program can likely give you good answers. It is debatable, but in my personal opinion, it is okay to follow up with the program after 2-3 weeks since interview asking about the status of your application. You could email a coordinator, DCT or even the professor. At one of my interviews, we were given the date when decisions were going to be made, and I emailed to inquire the day after that.I'm waiting to hear back from 2 programs. One program was just this past Friday, so I'm not too worried about that right now. The other, however, had their last interview weekend 2.5 weeks ago. 5 days following the interview, I received an email from my POI indicating that "admissions decisions will be communicated shortly." That was 2 weeks ago. I realize there is still plenty of time, but I have a few questions.
- This program extends offers via the Graduate School, according to what I've seen. To what extent can that cause delays (albeit considering the other issues below)?
- To what extent can a POI being technically dubbed affiliated faculty affect admissions speed (i.e., is it reasonable to assume they attend to full-fledged faculty first)?
- To what extent can a department having at least one new faculty hoping to admit more than one student affect the admissions process for other faculty members (FWIW, I am not worried about funding whatsoever with this POI, but just the order of the Graduate School's operations)?
- To what extent can having a Master's, and therefore being much more flexible in terms of what assistantships or teaching assignments you can take, affect the process? In other words, would it be reasonable to assume they might attend to Master's applicants' offers after those of younger applicants because the latter can only be assigned to certain assistantships?
I agree. Its a game to some extent, and most programs will want to keep you as an alternative and so will indicate that you are high on the list. So may actually have a list, and others may change it over time...I think schools can do whatever they want. I wouldn't want to tell someone they were low on my list because that could make them lose interest, especially in a situation where they are considering multiple offers
I asked my POI where I was on the wait list and he told me he doesn't disclose this...before I had asked him this, I spoke to the DCT regarding the same question and he said "blah blah these things are very complicated. but you are high" Do some schools actually have policies about not telling people where they are on the wait list? Or is this just my own personal hell?
I've totally been calling this process E-Harmony with grad schools!Definitely feels like dating. Wondering if you said the right thing/wore the right thing, waiting for them to call afterwards, analyzing any e-mails from them haha.

Thanks for the laugh!That makes sense, considering nobody seems to want me. Rejected from one program, haven't heard a peep from two others which I can only assume is bad mojo jojo. Let's form a cadre of folks who don't make it to interview: call it the deadbeats...
This process is excruciating and forces all my bad humor to the surface to bandage my emotional fears and insecurities.

Anyone hear from City College or Drexel post interview? According to TGC some went out last week. I didn't ask when I might hear back but I'm thinking of giving it another week before I call and ask if I should officially move on with my life.
Has anyone ever emailed your POI for feedback as to why you were rejected? If so, how did you phrase the email?
Very interesting... I am also an international applicant (Caucasian), and I would be pretty baffled by this email. Although I can see how an experience of an international student can be similar to one of a minority population. I would probably just say "thank you" and leave it at that to avoid further misunderstandings.So I received this very nice e-mail from the DCT at one of the programs I've been accepted to saying that if I had any questions I should feel free to contact her and that "being a fellow woman of color" she would be happy to answer any and all other types of questions not directly related to the program. While I think this is very nice and considerate of her, I'm international, but I'm not "a woman of color". What do you guys think, should I just say thanks and ignore the fact that I'm Caucasian? Or should I thank her and subtly tell her that although I'm international, I don't think I'll have any big concerns related to this? Or any other ideas?

I mean, if you want to get technical, white is a color too
Hahaha It is exactly representative of my dating life.. a bunch of first dates but nobody willing to commit Thanks for the laugh!

so one school interviewed me 2 weeks ago, and said they would let me know by the end of February. I haven't heard from them. Is it too early/bad to send an email asking for an update?
Has anyone heard from the Yeshiva combined School-Clinical program post-interview?
I haven't heard back either.No :/ I'm still waiting to hear back too!! They are done with interviews so I'm hoping to hear back this week.
I feel like even if it's a rejection they'd respond in a nice way.The dating analogies are way too fitting! So torn between waiting & hoping versus initiating contact.
Interviewed at my top choice week before last. They said decisions would be made last week. Not a word so emailed POI Friday. Still nothing! What would be an appropriate waiting period before another email or call? I'm hoping it's a good sign (or at least better sign than a flat out rejection).
Don't mean to crush your hopes, but in my experience, no news when there are supposed to be news (i.e. promised answer on a certain day, or saw acceptance posts on forums) typically means waitlist in the best case. But you are correct, its better than rejection, and people do get accepted off waitlists all the time. I would probably wait another week at least before contacting POI again. You could though contact graduate coordinator or a DCT.The dating analogies are way too fitting! So torn between waiting & hoping versus initiating contact.

Anyone heard from Pace U's school clinical program? My app status still says "In Review".
Has anyone heard from City College of NY clinical psychology PhD?
I got rejected awhile back.Has anyone heard from City College of NY clinical psychology PhD?
Sorry to hear that. Post-interview? I haven't heard anything after either of my interviews and others have so I'm assuming that's not good news for me.I got rejected awhile back.
Pretty sure someone only posted they got wait listed though?According to "the grad cafe". Acceptance Email went out to six 6 students from DCT on March 3rd.
