I've been wondering the same thing myself. As of today, I haven't heard a word. At the interview they told us we'd hear a little before or around the first week of March, right?

Congrats! I just "interviewed" there last weekend. The program wasn't for me, but still a good one!
Email from the DCT for University of Memphis Counseling PH.D on 2/27.
May I ask who your POI is? And do you know if they are still making calls?
Accepted, Clinical Health PhD Program- by phone.

I think during my session there were some careful statements approximately like "we'll start making decisions in March" along with, "why wouldn't we wait until we interviewed all the candidates" along with "APA requires we have all acceptances post-marked no later than Aptil 1st." Seeing some of the other programs seem to be doing "rolling" notices, I was wondering if they are doing cuts of their pool. I guess we continue to wait. sigh.
Congratulations (classmate?!)!

sweet! that's such a good program -- congrats!
very likely! it's a great program and in my top three. it's so wierd how you can go from "if i get in this year" to "i need to wait to hear back form my schools so i can fully examine my options". i'm so glad to have this opportunity, it feels almost ungrateful to not accept right away, but i did apply to several other great programs too...😀
Congrats all!
Don't forget SDN when you get whisked away to your programs. 😀

I received an email from the secretary today that I was an alternate on their "limited list of alternates" -- it was "signed" by the DCT.
Also accepted to CMU's clinical psych program via call from my POI.
This is so exciting, thanks for starting this thread! I was accepted to Sam Houston State University's Clinical PhD program on 2/13 via phone call after interview, and accepted to Pacific Graduate School of Psychology's PhD program today 2/28 via snail mail without an interview. Good luck everyone! 
I haven't been accepted anywhere yet (but my interview isn't actually until next week), BUT my friend has been accepted to both Temple and Southern Methodist University (the latter of which is unaccredited in case you wanted to know). Both Clinical Psych PhD programs.
Hi, I just recieved an email from the Fordham (Clinical PhD) DCT stating that I had been placed on their wait-list. What does that mean? Are they just keeping me as a long-shot backup plan, or is there a real chance that I might be accepted?
There are plenty of people that get accepted off of waitlists. What it means is that they've offered to someone else, and if that person declines they go to their waitlist and offer to the first alternate. You still have a shot at being accepted.
I have a similar issue. I received an email today from my POI at one school saying I was still on the waitlist, but she thought I would get in anyway...why not just offer me the spot now then? I hate the politics of this whole thing. Again, I think that programs have limited money, so they can't offer all the people acceptances they want, but have to wait for people to decline the offer.
Do you know anything about the financial package here? now that i'm in i'm having the 'how do i pay?' breakdown... 🙂

They can only make as many offers as they can realistically afford. If a program wants 6-8 students I think they generally will make 10 offers.
What Loyola campus was this for, Maryland or Chicago? Also, what program. Im assuming Clinical Ph.D. but I dont want to add wrong information. Thanks!
Has anyone heard back from Southern Illinois clinical Ph.D. yet? I am just curious, because they made it sound as if we would know something this week.
For everyone that's mentioning they are waitlisted. Did you interview first or are you being told you are on the waitlist without an interview? Just curious.
Has anyone heard if DePaul has extended acceptances?
I've been wait listed for 2 schools - and interviewed at both of them first. Kind of freaking out because I'm not a big fan of this waiting game.. but I am grateful to have made it this far. Hopefully something works out - I'm starting to get nervous!!
I was waitlisted via e-mail on 2/28 for the northern illinois clinical ph.d. If anyone is going to turn down do so soon to calm the nerves of us waitlisters! hehe
In addition to the two others I see on here, I've also been accepted to ferkauf's clinical health ph.d program on 2/28 via phone call

who did you want to work with?
i know! i just got my admit letter and it has NO info on aid -- anyone else have any insight? the website itself says students get aid through various sources, such as scholarships and fellowships, but it's pretty vague...

NIU's waitlist generally moves fairly quickly and they typically do accept at least a student or two from it each year. So, don't give up hope yet! If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me (I'm a current student and I was initially waitlisted there).
G'luck!
I just received a phone call from my POI from LIU-CW Post Campus Clinical Psy. D program with the amazing news that I have been accepted to their program for next fall!!!!
WOO HOO!!!!
WOO HOO!!!!
Sorry for not clarifying, it was Loyola (Chicago) - Clinical PhD.
