Thanks for your help! That's definitely what it was. She only asked me one question about my interests and the rest if the time was just talking about her research and me asking questions. I got an invite at the end but im unable to make either date. She mentioned that an interview isnt necessary to be admitted but I'm still planning an informal visit.
Congratulations on your interview! Honestly if you are sure you may receive an interview then change the date now so you don’t seem like you are being flaky later. Because you don’t want to ruin your chances at this school because even if you get an interview at the other one it doesn’t guarantee you’ll get in. Plus this program may quickly become your top after you interview you never know . So if you are going to change it do it now so they have time to make arrangements because February is right around the corner. Rather be safe than sorry. Good luck !
Yes I know people who have heard!
I haven't heard back from UNT but I think the invites may have all gone out. I'm hoping they haven't yet though!
I'm so down! So very true...
Are you objecting to the cost, the difficulty, or both?
The issue is that you only applied to six programs and you geographically limited your applications to the Northeast. Even the most competitive applicants can hamstring their chances by doing this.
I agree we need to petition the Gre out of here lol
Those are the WORST. Thanks for the mini heart attack!
Don't count yourself out just yet... A lot of schools haven't sent anything yet! If it gets to be mid-February and you still haven't heard, it's probably a good idea to start thinking ahead. My advisers encouraged me to apply to 15-20 programs and to apply all across the country. If you're geographically limited because of family obligations, etc., then maybe try applying to more programs in your area that have good variability in terms of competitiveness (a couple "safety" schools, a couple "reach" schools, etc.).
I'm waiting to hear back from GW as well. All my application says is that it has been submitted. Hope to hear back soon!
I received an email yesterday from Loyola MD for interview invitation (PsyD). Your post is a little dated, so I'm hoping you did as well 🙂
I dont think it was entirely accurate. I think it provides a good time frame when things typically come out but I dont think theyre following that exact hard deadline. I did contact someone from admissions there before xmas and they said if you havent heard back by the end of the first week it's safe to assume you didnt get an interview.
The way you get your invitation isn't really all that consequential, programs just have different administrative procedures for these kinds of things. What matters is how the program is structured and how you wrote your personal statement, e.g., if you indicated multiple POIs, you might be interviewing with all of them at some programs and only a subset of them at other programs.
