Sorry to hear about the rejection. Where was the invite for, though?

I just spoke to a woman in the admissions office at UMass Boston. Apparently they never received my GRE subject test score, even though all the other schools did. Good thing I checked! When I asked if this would jeopardize my application status, she said that they were still dealing w/ GRE scores, so it wasn't too late. From looking at last year's thread, it looks like they sent out interview invites up until 2/8. In case anyone's interested!
(This is for Clinical Psych PhD, by the way)
For Emory it was like a 40 minute phone interview, they are still going to have in-person interviews in February as well.
As for the people who asked me to PM them...I just joined and I don't know how to do it! Someone give me some instruction...
Could someone PM me about the U of Washington invite they got?
Thanks
Sierra: If it helps, it looks like it's going to be that way for me as well. :/
And, yes, UW person PLEAAAASE PM us.
It's still SO EARLY. Most rejection letters won't go out for months, at least that was my experience. And it seems as though people are more apt to tell you their POI if you take the time to PM them your question, rather than asking them to PM you. That's been my experience, anyway.
Is it me or does it seem like there are more phone interviews this year than usual??? It seems like every other school is screening people over the phone first. I hope that doesn't mean that competition is especially fierce this year.
BTW, anyone heard fro U. of Utah out there??????

Yeah, I did notice that more of them are cropping up on this thread. It may not just be the competition through. The schools could be mindful of the bad economy. As we all know, the application process is expensive. I think they want to have some more information (even a phone interview) prior to handing out interview invites just to make sure that we have a decent match prior to interview day. It not only saves the school time and money, but also saves you time and money (granted, we would all want an interview invite rather than a rejection, but we don't want an immediate rejection after the interview either).
All 12 of the clinical programs I applied to do in-person interviews for finalists. If money is tight, plan very very carefully- applying to graduate school is VERY expensive! You have to pay for gre tests, gre prep books/courses, sending out scores ($20 per school), application fees ($40-$75 per school), transcripts, fedex/ups fees (a lot of schools still require hard copies), interview travel, interview clothing, etc. Not to mention I did a lot more expensive/unhealthy take out instead of cooking because I was so busy!I wondering if many school do just phone interviews? I begin applying next Fall and I plan on saving but I want to apply some places that are a bit farther away then a relatively short bus/driving trip, there is no way I can afford plane tickets IF i get interviews.
Heard back from my POI at Loyola-Chicago. Faculty there have been looking at applications but will not be making decisions about interview invites until Jan. 26.
Congrats to everyone that has received interviews so far. I was wondering if anyone else applied to/ heard anything from:
University of Nevada Las Vegas
Suffolk
Temple
I just got an email from the coordinator at University of Montana, saying that my application is complete and faculty review will begin on January 20.
Oh God, I nearly had a heart attack when I saw you mention Montana. Yeah, I received that email last month or so (I submitted my app pretty early), only it didn't mention Jan 20.

For anyone else who applied to Columbia TC, I emailed w/ the admissions counselor today, and she said that the Clinical psych program generally extends interview invites in February with interview dates in late Feb or early March. So if you haven't heard anything by end of January... it's not too late!!!
got scared for a minute, but I am relieved that they are not sending out invites yet!!! Had you emailed the POI inquiring about when they would be sending interview invites, and that's why they wrote to you?
That's great to hear... I applied there and I've been wondering about them so thanks for sharing!
Had a phone interview with my POI at Emory on 1/5, and was just invited by phone for an in-person interview Feb 5-7.
