Guys, you wouldn't believe it, but I have just got e-mail that I have been accepted into the PhD program in Counseling Psychology at Oklahoma State University!!! 😀😀😀😀 I got the spot from being the 2nd alternate on the waiting list !
I am so happy and I am scared at the same time. I have been dancing and now I don't know what to do next! 🙂)))
Congratulations to everyone too!

I know how you feel I've been waitlisted at two schools, rejected from one, and haven't heard anything from another....but still hoping....

Thanks, I'm so happy for you as well!
Yeah, after the inital high wears off, you're kind of like "Um... so what now?" 😀

Congratulations Cara!!! Yeah I know what you mean, it's like -o.k. this is great but now it's time to start thinking about moving, finding a new place, etc. All exciting but LOTS to get ready for. Best of luck! 😀
I was accepted to LaSalle and declined, so there's an extra spot from the waiting list. Goodluck!
Yes, I know!
One hour after I got the news, and after I was tired from jumping to the ceiling with joy and calling my family and friends, I started to contemplate if I would be smart enough to be in this program! 😳 It is so outrageous and so funny at the same time. It seems I will never be peaceful with myself and will be constantly questioning and doubting mysellf non-stop! I need to set goals for the coming months: first goal will be to meditate every day to acquire calm and peacefulness which left me approximately 5 months year ago, when I started the whole application process!Yes, I know!
Hey this is my first post, just had to agree with your feelings of being unsure of being good enough. Maybe that has a little to do with out preference for psychology... analyzing doesn't stop even at us! haha Congrats!
My adviser told me that this "imposter phenomenon" is pretty common, where people think they got in by accident. You worked hard and deserve it. They realize this and they think you will do well at the program, and that's why you were accepted.
Haha, I am totally already experiencing the "Impostor Phenomenon/Syndrome" right now. It's nice to know that I'm not alone in feeling that way!

WARM CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
You both went above and beyond experiencing the anxieyt/stress/and test of patience that goes with applying to these programs. Much credit to both of you for riding it out with great results.
Cara - Unreal. You're TOP choice to boot! You could not have asked for a better situation.
And Minichka - We're both future Counseling Psychologists! I really do hope to see you someday at a conference and chat in person. I'm absolutely thrilled this worked out for you.

Aww, thank you so much! I know, I'm so shocked that I got in only my first time applying, and my top choice to boot!
LOl After I got accepted into my top choice I had a dream that the DCT sent me an e-mail telling me she had called the wrong student and would have to forfeit the offer she made me lol... two nights in a row...needless to say I checked my e-mail everday until the official admission/stipend letter came in the mail.

Oh, so you had that thought as well? The good news is that the emails they send us list our undergrad institution in addition to our name, so it's very unlikely that it'd be the wrong person 😉
Thank you so much Jon! How nice it is to get such personable and genuine greetings! I would LOVE to be friends with other Counseling Psychology doctorate Students!
And meeting at conferences will be awesome! Lets keep in touch!A polite e-mail thanking them for their time and consideration but unfortunately you can only accept one offer and will have to decline theirs. You don't have to tell them where you attending and if they ask you, which many did of me, then it is still your choice to tell them. I only told them after being asked because it is the polite thing to do. 🙂
I was offered admission to UAlbany's Counseling Psych program on Saturday and accepted on Sunday. It was the only program to which I applied, so I'm feeling pretty lucky tonight. 😀
Congrats!
I posted this in another thread, but in case you missed it....
I was accepted to the University of Groningen (social-organizational Ph.D.) and SUNY-Albany (social-personality Ph.D.). I have accepted my offer at Groningen, and will be moving to the Netherlands to get my Ph.D.! Grad school and European adventures all in one deal! 😎

Oh wow, how cool is that! Congrats 😀
Haha...I definitely do not speak any Dtuch (yet). As someone who learned French and Latin throughout school, tackling a Germanic language should be interesting. Still, the few classes I will take will be in English. However, as I will have a Master's degree, the need for coursework is minimal. Most people do speak English, but the default language, of course, is Dutch. So I'll try to pick up the language (at least a read proficiency to read signs, menus, and everything else in Dutch.

Aren't all offers supposed to be extended by April 1st? How is it that there are still offers yet to be extended?
People can still hear off of waitlists obviously, as it's not required to decline offers until April 15th. April 1st is only for initial offers, and even then, I think it's more like a guideline than a strict rule. In fact, it's possible to still hear after April 15th if you're waitlisted and someone else just lets an offer lapse or tells the program at the last possible minute or backs out later.
They are "suggested" time frames. The variance is often due to programs going down their list of offers in the event the 1st choices decline the offer.
Waitlists, I imagine?
Ok, so what if you haven't heard at all, haven't been waitlisted, just haven't heard. How are you supposed to confirm at another school by the 15th without having heard from all your choices?
I got into the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, my top choice....fully funded with an amazing stipend. I got in off the waitlist..
I also got into Howard University....
I also got into Howard University....
Congrats indeed!

Your first year might be asking a bit much, but trust me, it will wear off by your 2nd or 3rd year 😉 Especially if you end up with a supportive and caring class.

Isn't it strange how there has been hardly any activity on this page since April 1st? 🙂 / 
I think that's probably because the people who usually had things to say in this thread have already gotten into their schools.
