I was accepted to Fordham's Clinical Psychology PhD program via e-mail on Friday, 2/29.
 
Waitlisted 🙁.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PEOPLE... all of those of you fortunate enough to get multiple offers, please turn down the less attractive one as soon as possible! Us waitlisters are dying inside!
 
Accepted to University of Louisville, Clinical Psych. Phone call on Feb 29th which I missed, but the DCT also emailed me to let me know on 3/2/07. 😀
 
Congratulations! If I may ask, what was the date on the letter? I am curious as to when they were mailed.

Zeldazelda - sure, the envelope was post-marked Feb 29th, same date on the body of the letter. I live quite close to the program and received it the very next day.
 
Waitlisted at Auburn - Clinical PhD. Please if anybody has multiple offers let the schools know if you are not seriously considering them. I have been waitlisted at 3 schools.
 
I see that one of you has been accepted by the UMAss Boston Clinical PhD program, and one of you waitlisted. I interviewed there and am anxious. If you don't mind my asking who is your POI? You could PM me.

Thanks and good luck all🙂

When did you interview at Indiana State?...I was supposed to go on Friday but missed it...I was told they would contact me about phone interviews...but if they already made decisions, maybe I should contact them.

Waitlisted Univ of Maryland (College Park) on Feb 27th by e-mail from POI. Waitlisted George Mason on March 2nd by e-mail from clinical director.

Both clinical psych PhD programs.
Still waiting to hear from the remaining programs. Good luck to all of you!
 
Was a mass e-mail, I think, BUT there's still the opportunity to be waitlisted & get in off the waitlist in the next few weeks or so. Good luck!

I received an offer via phone call this morning from the program director of the Virginia Consortium Psy.D. program. Woo hoo!
 
I see that the University of Maine accepted already. Is this for the Clinical Ph.D program and the Developmental-Clinical program??
 
Rejected post-interview for the second year in a row . . . 🙁

FYI - they are extending offers
 
Univ of Washington for Clinical PhD and Univ of Oregon also for Clinical PhD should be added to the list

To the person accepted at Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine, can I ask which track you were accepted into? (You can PM me if you'd like.) Thanks!
 
I just recieved an email from a faculty member at the University of Georgia informing me of my alternate status.
 
I just checked my online status and it says that I have been accepted!!!! My first acceptance. I am going to be a doctoral student this fall!!!! So happy!!!
 
Got accepted to Yeshiva's School-Clinical Child PsyD program today via e-mail 😀

Hi, when did you interview for the school-clinical child psy.d prgram at yeshiva? I was told we wouldn't hear until at least march 16th at the interview.
 
I know the acceptance calls went out already for Georgia State University. I interviewed there but still haven't heard back but 2 of my friends received phone calls from their POI on 2/27, they were both for the dual clinical-community PhD program. If anybody else received an acceptance from them and doesn't really wanna go there, please reject! lol, I wish all schools would tell you what is the status of your application. I'm tired of just waiting around, I wanna know if I've been rejected, waitlisted or what.

I interviewed on February 7th. My acceptance e-mail said that I could also expect a letter via snail mail within 2 weeks, so maybe that is what they were referring to in the interview.

So I am calling today to accept my offer to one school, but how do I go about declining the other? I feel way too uncomfortable to call that professor?

Any thoughts? What did you all do?

There's a "Declining an Acceptance" thread with suggestions on what to say to your POI.
 
Today I received a call from the program director letting me know that I was accepted 🙂
