Interviews?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Someone posted that Georgia State was going to call/email to extend invites...Did anyone hear from them?

Also, does anyone know the status of the following schools:
University of Rhode Island
NY State-SUNY, Stony Brook
NY State-SUNY, Albany
University of Vermont

I haven't heard from URI yet, I called last week and they said invitations for interviews had not yet been extended. I spoke with someone at UVM who said they already sent out all invitations for interviews.

In case anyone is waiting to here from GW, I received an email this afternoon about interviews.

I've been waiting on UPenn too but I saw on another forum that someone got interview invitation. The person was contacted via email not from a professor but from the director of the clinical program. Oh well..

Anyone heard from UNC-Chapel Hill or Northwestern-Feinberg??
Looks like invitations are winding down..

I've been invited by UPenn as well, and yes, the email was from the director of the program. Have been biting my fingernails ever since. Has anyone else been shortlisted?

when did this happen?
 
I'm waiting on UPenn as well and seeing that they've started to contact applicants, I guess my chances are getting slimmer and slimmer by the hour.

Other programs I'm waiting on:
SUNY - Stony Brook (clinical)
Univ. of Washington, Seattle (clinical)
George Washington Univ.
Univ. of Pittsburgh

I'm waiting for a rejection from Boston Univ (you'd think that once they've sent out interview invitations, it's only polite to inform applicants who've been rejected) and a reply from Penn State, where I went for an interview last weekend.

Thanks! It's tough enough waiting for an interview, but I think waiting for a yes or no without an interview might be even worse. Best of luck 🙂

Marny, I just got a call (director of admissions left a message on my answering machine) for an interview March 2nd at Queens for Clinical Neuropsychology! I had heard they might start interviewing this year since they are seeking apa accredidation. She said I would be getting an email as well. Hope you'll be hearing good news too!

I got an interview invite from Yeshiva University's Clinical Health phd program today as well 🙂

Penn sent a formal email on Feb. 8 notifying applicants that they were on a short-list.

Although I read on another forum that Penn may still be extending invites? http://pub43.bravenet.com/forum/show.php?usernum=3692451787&cpv=2


thanks for the info! I really had my hopes up with penn 🙁 my bf is already accepted there and it's the only school we could have went to together. anyways, congrats for it and good luck at the interview!

Hi everyone! Yesterday was a super fabulous day as I got an offer from VCU Clinical and GW Phd Counseling. Still havent heard from a bunch of others, not even sure if any more interviews are being scheduled. Good luck to all of you and hang in there!

I interviewed and was accepted at that program last year (Yeshiva). Just keep in mind they are not APA accredited and offer no funding. I was really excited about it until I found that out. It was really dissappointing.

yes, thanks. sigh, both programs I applied to in New York (my preferred location for grad school) are not apa accredited yet and don't offer funding. CUNY, however, is a lot cheaper and I know they are very seriously seeking accreditation.

In other news I got an interview offer in the mail today from Nova Southeastern's Clinical Phd program. Nova also costs a fortune I know!
 
Has anyone heard anything from University of Miami's health clinical division?

Invitations have already gone out for the first round of interviews on February 24. After those interviews they will decide whether to have another interview day in March.

Did you hear this from staff or faculty? I'd be surprised if they had another round of interviews.

Did you get an interview? Did anyone here get an interview at UMiami's "Health Clinical" program? It's the mystery of the week...

I heard this from the director of the clinical health department. I'm on the alternate list.

Hey, do you mind if I pm you?
 
Anyone heard from USC ??? Clinical and BCS
or.. know anything about the alternate process

I have a lot of schools that i havent heard from and I am just wondering if for some of them if that means that I am an alternate.. or do they contact you and let you know you are on the list?

any news from UPenn? anyone receive rejection letters? and if so, were they emails, mail, or phone calls? I saw another thread that said people that havent received a rejection notice (they didnt specifiy what kind of notice) are on a "limbo" list... anyone have an idea about this ???

thanks!
 
It seems like we have been less active posting about new invitations.

Well, I guess I have two programs to ask about. Has anyone heard from University of Rhode Island (clinical) or Georgia State's Clin-Comm joint program? At this point I'm just looking for yays or nays on these two. Thanks everyone.

Sara, If you have the time, I would really appreciate any info you can share about the interview at Yeshiva. Thanks!
 
I heard from URI yesterday. I received an email and a call from whoever is coordinating the interview day. It is on March 6th. Sorry!

Hey congrats Cajal!!! I got the call, too. They sent me an email Friday to call and make an appointment so I guess they hold the interviews on an individual basis. Do you have any more info on it?

I also got a call this week for Geogia State University Clinical, their interview is on March 3rd.

Has anyone heard from University of Houston?

It was really informal. I wore a suit and heels and I met with the director of the clinical-health program in his office for about half an hour. He asked me why I was interested in health psychology, what I was doing now and about my general interests. It wasn't hard and there were no trick questions. Then he asked if I had any questions for him. I felt we had good rapport, and it was an easy flow of conversation. It wasn't part of an interview day. I just had my hour long appointment and that was it. He took me to the admissions office where they gave me some literature. Then a student came and took me to the student lounge and chatted with her and some of her friends for a while. Then I left. That was it.
I pretty much wrote them off once the DCT told me they weren't accredited and then especially once the student who spoke with me told me they don't offer any funding and you pay them ^$20K a year to be farmed out to other sites for practica. They are also really open to students there doing research with faculty at other schools. And they run on a departmental model, not a mentor model which seems sort of ridiculous to me. basically, you may end up paying $20K a year to go to a school where your faculty member isn't affiliated and you get your clinical exposure elsewhere. I was pretty put off by that.

But you should go and make your own opinions.
 
yeah that sounds just like the environment at northeastern,i also was turned off for the same similiar reasons (ridicolous expense, lack of accrediation, poor departmental cohesion)

Congrats!!
Do you mean the interview or the program itself? I don't have much more info about the interview itself right now, but I'll let you know if I hear anything.
About the program - I've been taking classes and working in a lab there for a while now. If you have any specific questions, let me know.

I meant the interview. They didn't give me much info in the email. It seemed like they might have us interview with 1 or 2 people. It sounds like a nice short day. Who's lab are you in?

Hi, I applied to the developmental programme at USC and had two phone interviews with them in January. They say that they have submitted my name for fellowship application, but I have yet to receive anything in the post from them. I have gotten several e-mails though. Perhaps they have just contacted me earlier as I am overseas and could not attend interviews in person.

Has anyone heard from the University of Virginia's or the University of Wisconsin - Madison's developmental programmes? Thanks!

I received an acceptance from University of Wiscosin's Human Development and Family Studies Dept. Is that where you applied?

Well, I didn't apply to that department specifically, I applied for the PhD in Psychology with developmental as my preferred area. Did you find out about your acceptance by mail or through the website? Sorry to be so nosy, but my status is still pending. Thanks!
 
Don't try to contact UNM-Abuquerque regarding interviews unless your'e feeling really lucky! I just called to see if they've yet extended invitations and the secretary I spoke with was incredibly disrespectful. She wouldn't give me any information other than the fact that interviews have not yet been extended. That's all well and good, but her tone of voice was quite condesending... kinda makes me wanna scratch that one off my list!
 
Anyone heard from Georgia State and Sourthern Methodist University? No matter if its rejections or Invitations for interviews?

In regards to Upenn, Arizona State, Northern Illinois University, Bryn Mawr...I know these schools already gave invitations for interviews out but has anyone got a rejection letter or know if they will be having a 2nd rounds of interviews.


University of Arkansas interviews was this weekend. It was GREAT! I love it there and I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks!
 
Was anyone at the University of Arizona interviews this weekend?

I just joined and I have to say my heart goes out to everyone. This is not a fun time of year, the waiting and the hoping. I just keep telling myself, everything happens for a reason and where ever I end up will be the best choice. Just gotta keep believing!

If you applied to the clinical program at Georgia State, then the clinical (non-joint) interviews will be on March 3rd and March 17th.

I spoke with the department secretary and did not find her at all disrespectful. She probably has to field many calls each day in addition to all her other job responsibilities. This is a hard time of year for everyone involved in the application process.
Anyway - invitations have gone out from UNM - at least from some faculty. Their interview day is 3/10

By the way, the interview dates are for all of the clinical programs.
 
Hello everyone! Just when I thought all the offers had been extended... 😛

I just wanted to post that I received an interview offer to Nova Southeastern University in the mail over the weekend. The interviews are being held on either March 17 or 20. Is anyone else going?

(Cajal, congrats on the interview. Which day are you going? I look forward to maybe meeting you! 🙂 )

Have all the invitations for the clinical interviews at Georgia State been sent out? If yes...that makes 7 out of 9 applications who has not given me word and I'm just waiting for the letters of doom to crush my mailbox (and me). It's real hard to accept these rejections... 🙁
 
I know it greatly varies from school to school, but what do you all think is the normal waiting period between an interview and hearing a decision? Some schools tell you when they will contact you again, but some said "in the near future." So when would this be usually? I really can't wait until all this is over!

Honestly, I think the non-joint clinical interviews went out last week. For the clinical-community track, they are still inviting people to interview. I'm not sure what is going on right now with the clinical-neuropsychology track. .
 
does anyone know the status of the GWU clinical interview offers? any info is appreciated, thanks!

The interview dates are Feb 27th, Monday or Mar 3rd, Friday. I received an email from the director of clinical training last week. Hope this helps.
 
For those who received an invitation to Northern Illinois University & Bryn Mawr... Did the interviews take place already? Did anyone hear if there would be second rounds of interviews?
 
Has anyone who attended Penn State's interview weekend heard back yet?

I attended the interview at Penn State and haven't heard anything yet. Did you go for the adult or child track? I was child, and I wonder if they make offers at the same time for both tracks or if the whole thing is done separately. Did anyone tell you when they would be contacting you? I just kept being told "in the near future."
 
I went for adult, I'm not sure how they do it. There were alot of kids there on saturday's presentation with Dr. Cantonguay, was that both Child and Adult?
