I'm pretty sure all invites have been extended, the program coordinator sent a mass email with itinerary and lodging options. Sorry :(

Has anyone heard from University of Toronto or Simon Fraser? (Apologies if this is a US only thread!)

Thanks!
 
Does anyone know if all University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) clinical interview invitations have been sent out?
 
Has anyone heard from John Jay College of Criminal Justice?
 
Does anyone know if all University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) clinical interview invitations have been sent out?

If you look on the first page of this thread, someone posted that they received an invite from UA on Dec. 16 for Jan. 27 interview, but they listed it as for the geropsychology concentration. If you look on grad cafe, someone posted about receiving an invite on Jan. 12 for a Feb. 10 interview, and they are apparently in the psychology and law concentration.

Based on these, I think each concentration in the clinical program might have their own interview date and therefore send out invites individually.

Sorry if this is too off topic but when is a good time to email the POI/program to inquire if all invites have been extended? I've seen a few go out for a program im interested in and think that Friday was the deadline for interview notifications (just speculation).
 
Has anyone heard from the legal psych program of UT El Paso?

You don't really benefit from sending emails asking about this. As a faculty member it is awkward to answer these sorts of emails. What were you hoping to gain from the response? If they've all been sent, it won't move your position. If they've not been, it's not going to move your position...

Mostly for planning purposes. This entire process is incredibly expensive and the earlier I know I'm not being considered is the quicker I can re-allocate funds...But I understand it can be awkward and why I wanted to throw it out to the forums. Thanks!

A bajillion years ago when I applied, I saw on SDN that one program had extended invites and rejections, and I hadn't heard back myself. When I emailed, POI was thrilled to hear from me -- they had extended me an invite but had been calling the wrong phone number. The program wasn't a great fit for me (and I don't know why they didn't try emailing me?), but if it's really going to affect your plans, maybe emails the dept coordinator/admin asst. If you're just getting antsy, wait it out.

Thanks! I'm not gonna lie and say that a little bit of it isn't being antsy. But I have family friends who would love to house me and I wanted to give enough advance notice (if the program cannot provide housing) and not impose on their plans too much (and travel fare, etc etc)
 
Hi, all,
See below for a timeline from CUDCUP that might be useful to folks!

Thanks for sharing. :) And just to remind everyone, this calendar doesn't list all schools, and it can be inaccurate (it didn't match up with some of my other invitations which I prefer to keep private.). Hope this provides some encouragement of sorts to other folks waiting for invitations. C:

Good call; I didn't make the list and can't vouch for its accuracy. It was forwarded to me to post in the hopes that it might be useful and informative.

To add to this, Auburn's interview invite deadline is listed as the 8th, but I received an email from them saying interviews would be extended between the 9th and the end of January. Super helpful calendar, but I would guess the "interview invite" deadlines are a little less accurate.
