Still haven't heard from Temple - the 17th was a few days ago, but I don't think anyone has heard yet...

I don't think so either. I've also looked at Grad Cafe and the only thing thats on there is an invite for the Cognitive program that was sent out on the 17th. I really just want to know already! (as I'm sure we all do lol)
 
Hey all. I got an interview at the University of Denver Counseling program. Counseling, not clinical (don't want to scare people). Yay!

I got an email yesterday and the interview is on Friday, Feb 13. Is that a bad sign?
 
is it bad form to call admissions to ask whether all interview invites have been extended? That usually isn't smiled upon right?


I don't think so. You don't even have to give them your name if you don't want to, you can just ask if they've sent out invitations. Although giving your name is not a big deal at all (unless you plan on calling every single day until April 15 LOL)
 
Hey Everyone,

If anyone hears anything new from U of Oregon, please email me or the list. The suspense is killing me 🙂

:luck::luck::luck:
 
hi - could the people who heard from UCLA please pm me the POIs as well?

was it a mass email? Or an individual one?

As far as i understand it, the individual POI's at UCLA do not choose who gets an interview. This decision is made by committee. Thus, I would not expect a POI to contact a prospective student for this program. It appears that the department contacted the applicant in this instance... hope this helps.

and i cant forget .. luck for everyone...
:luck::luck::luck:
 
Could whoever heard from Stony Brook PM me their POI name? Thanks so much! 🙂
 
has anyone else on here yet to get ANY interviews yet?? i know that most of my schools aren't really sending anything til next week, but it's hard not to start despairing anyway when you see so many people who have been invited! 😕

I hear you! I feel like today for some reason has been the worst. I haven't heard anything and I feel super negative. Even though I know no one has heard from most of my schools.. It's depressing. 🙁

GOSH...same here...I'm just a regular Debbie Downer today. Everyone leave me alone!!!!!!😱

LOL it's nice to know we're not alone anyway... here I am sitting at my work desk, bored out of my mind w/ my job, wondering what the heck i'm going to do w/ myself if i don't get in anywhere! nice to know there are others out there, possibly thinking the same thing 🙄

I'm not in panic mode just yet because it's only January 21st. I called two of my schools to find out where they were in terms of sending out invites and they were both very tight-lipped, so I figured that was my sign to let things come as they may! Relax people...it's only your future you're waiting on.

Peace.😎

haven't heard anything yet either... i'm trying just to focus on the fact that none of the schools i applied to are listed yet, so they must be extending interviews next week and into february. in this case, no news is good news (but it's still hard not to ruminate about it!)
 
Hey...I still haven't heard anything either...people have heard from 6 of my 16 schools! Blarg. It is kind of demoralizing, its frustrating when you know you can do the work but just aren't getting any bites! Back to my sheet cake...
 
I just got this email from the dept. admin. at Loyola Chicago (I almost wet myself again when I saw the email address... the nerves are just shot!! This waiting this is terrible!!!) 😛

"The committee is meeting this Friday to determine who will be invited for an interview. If you are selected for an interview you will be contacted via email. We expect to send out email invitations early next week for interviews (interviews will be held in February).

Thank you."
 
Hello all! I just received an interview invite from the clinical PhD program at Southern Methodist University. Interview is on Feb. 14. I heard by phone from a professor on the admissions committee.
 
Has anyone heard from UNC Chapel Hill or UT Austin?

Not to be psychotic- but you emailed them to check right? I think I remember you posting that...

This process is making me crazy.

Didn't get that email...no worries though I guess. Did you email them first? I'm assuming not, since you almost wet yourself LOL
 
i didn't get that e-mail from Loyola Chicago either... Is that for the PhD or the PsyD?
 
I also applied to UT Austin and have heard nothing. With their early deadline I am surprised that nobody has heard on SDN. I emailed them on Monday to ask if they have extended all invites and nobody responded. Please post if you hear anything!

yea- didn't get the email either. almost had a heart attack when i saw you'd heard from them... but i guess it was because you emailed them first. thanks for sharing though when invites are going out. next week is going to be stressful...
 
I called some schools today and got some more info:

1. Duke: sending out interviews by Friday, interview dates are Feb 6 or 9

2. Northwestern: meeting today re: interview invites, should be sent out soon, interview date is Feb 13

3. St. John's: interview invites going out in March (!!), no interview date set yet

4. LIU: Interview invites going out on a rolling basis starting in a couple of weeks, interview dates are last Sat. in Feb and first Sat. in March

Three of my schools have already sent out invites (including my two favorites!) and I'm bummed. I still have 4 other schools to hear from in the next couple weeks so I'm trying to keep my hopes up. But for everyone else feeling a little blah, I'm right there with ya today.

Oh God, I applied to American D:

Thanks for the info. Did they say if it will be through email or the phone?

I was wondering: maybe we should make a thread with fun links and videos and games and stuff? Things that can keep us busy?

and yes, it looks like the weather is actually the same there as it is here! 😀
 
I spoke to someone in the Texas A&M psych department today. She said they haven't finished looking at applications yet and not all interview invites have been extended.
 
FYI...Got an email from a professor @ Eastern Michigan saying she wanted more information and that they were still reviewing applications. Their interview date is 2/13/09.

Thank you for posting info about TAMU. It is one of my top choices. I got an email from them on Monday saying that no interviews had been handing out and they would be doing so in the next few days/weeks, but that very same day somebody on here got an invite. I was so confused! Please post if you hear anything else. Thanks!

I AGREE! Let's make that two stars!
 
I risk sounding like an echo but could the person that heard from Stony Brook PMing me their POI? Congrats on the invite!
 
What kind of information?

She wanted to know more detailed information about my research interests. I gave her some specific proposals for future study. The email was quite short so I don't think it was considered an "email interview".
 
Has anyone heard from University of South Florida or anymore people heard from University of Central Florida?

I was emailed yesterday for an interview for USF's School Psych Program (although you're probably referring to the clinical program)...dates are Feb. 6th and 13th.....I also applied to UCF's clinical program and haven't heard anything back yet....
