The OFFICIAL 2009 Acceptance Thread

Of all the numerous programs I applied to... by this point I've heard SOMETHING (rejection, interviewed, wait-listed, etc.) from all but one.

I know 2 people mentioned interview invites some time ago... but has anyone heard anything else from UNCG?

I have already put them in the "lost cause" category... but honestly, it perturbs me a little that I've received NOTHING from them. I even sent a nice email just asking for a time-frame for info several weeks ago... and after getting a quick response of "I'll get back to you"... that's been it.

I'm trying to be understanding... but considering I applied to very diverse programs (large/small, remote/urban, large number of apps/small number, etc)... I find it a little odd that everyone else has been able to make some contact... except UNCG.

I didn't apply to UNCG, but I did apply to 11 schools and I haven't heard anything (not even rejection) from 7 of them. So trust me...UNCG isn't out of the norm, but the fact that you've heard something from most of your schools IS out of the norm, at least compared to my list. I'm assuming rejection on these 7, however. I think a lot of the schools I applied to ended up not taking students (at least for the prof that I wanted to work with). Stupid economy.
 
"just got accepted to the psyd at lasalle via snail mail!!"


Are you sure? They said they only send out info. regarding acceptance/rejection by mail, and they wait until march 15th after all interviews are through?



ha, yes im sure, i got in...oh, and snail mail is mail!,,,,i interviewed on the first day (i think it was the 2nd) and the letter was dated feb 26th...not sure if it was just a first batch or something but yes, im sure i got in!



Sorry I quoted the wrong person back there. I was asking I likeeepsych about La Salle MA or psy.D program
 
I received an acceptance from C.W. Post on Saturday, February 28th from one of the the professors that I interviewed with. So it seems like individual professors might be calling the people they interviewed.


Congrats!

Quick question...when did you interview? I didnt interview till March 1st so im hoping that there is just a little lag time. I still have hope!
 
acceptance at Xavier...recieved email yesterday...said there were two batches of acceptance letters being sent out and this is the first one....(so dont panic you might be in second group)
 
I wrote to CUNY and received an e-mail stating that "not all admissions decisions have been made." Since I haven't heard word of anyone being rejected or waitlisted, I think this means they just extend additional offers one-by-one as people from the first round reject them. Not 100% sure about that though. It would explain the small disparity in their stats for offers extended/incoming students.

Did you email the program director? I wonder if they'll send out rejections soon. I would love to know instead of this waiting...

I got a snail mail rejection from CUNY Queens on 2/24.. for the Neuropsychology Clinical track program.

Has anyone heard from, or know when to expect to hear from, the University of New Mexico? Interviews were this past weekend. Thanks and feel free to pm me.
 
Hey- I was accepted to UNCG on 3/5 via call from POI- so excited!!

Don't fret, though, I think schools are giving out acceptances kind of sporadically this year for some reason--I know at another school I applied to, it was posted on here that someone was accepted, but when I contacted my POI at the 2.5 week point he indicated that he had not made his decision yet but hoped to do so by the end of the week...

There is still hope, SOUPSOUP...I interviewed on March 6 with a bunch of people, and they haven't gotten back to us yet. Like I said, I was told a "couple of weeks". They wouldn't have interviewed all of us after Feb. 28 if they were finished with offers then.
Maybe they just loved LovelyRita so much that they gave her an instantaneous offer...congrats LovelyRita! 😉 (That happened to me at one school - they phoned with an offer the next day after my interview, even though it was at the end of Feb. - very early)
 
Hey everybody,

Has anyone heard anything (post-interview) from Denver, the Virginia Consortium or Baylor?

Thanks and good luck to those of us still waiting with fingers crossed...
 
I can finally stop lurking, and actually post on this thread! I received an offer from the University of Florida today (call from POI)! 😀
 
Capitals, I too am waiting anxiously. I hope we hear sooner than later but I don't remember when (if) they said they would be contacting us.:xf:

hey wildcat- I was told that they'd be meeting this week. Maybe they're on springbreak though? take good care & best. capitals.

Not a word yet from Denver, it's killing me! We got this stupid survey by e-mail saying they'll let us know their decision in the next two weeks. I can't take the pressure anymore! :bang:
 
Congrats! When were you called?

I was called late actually, like 9:30pm so I didn't pick up but they left a message. They just met yesterday so I think the offers just started going out. The official letter is suppose to come within a week or so.
Good luck!
 
Has anyone heard from Drexel? If you heard ANYTHING or are even still waiting, could you PM me with the name of your POI and what you've heard. I just wish I knew SOMETHING already!

I haven't heard from VA Consortium. I am the 1st alternate for Dr. Sanford and the 1st alternate for Dr. Brooks' lab for Baylor. Ahh. I got that phone call a few days ago.

I applied to University of New Mexico last year and never heard back, like ever... not even a rejection after April 15th... this probably doesn't help anyone but i figured i'd share anyway 🙂

Congrats on your acceptance. May I ask who your POI is? Did she/he call you when you were invited to the interview as well? Thanks 😳
 
Hey whataboutangela-I'm a bit too paranoid to reveal who my POI is, but he did call me when inviting me to interview as well.

Still havent heard from Drexel.. still waiting. Anyone know when schools have to extend offers by?
 
Candidates are supposed to ACCEPT an offer by April 15, so theoretically all schools should send out offers at least a couple weeks before that. But if you're on a waitlist, I imagine you could go right up to the 15th before hearing, since it depends on the people in front of you making a decision. And there can always be weird exceptions, like someone backing out after the 15th and a school making an offer to someone else at that point.
 
Accepted today via phone call from Director of Admissions. I'm super excited for this one.

Thanks for the info, secondround. Sorry if my q made you uncomfortable. I didn't mean it. I'm just kind of frustrated since UNCG became my last and only option and I really want to know whether I got in or not. Anyway, thanks again 🙂
 
Accepted to Spalding University PsyD via phone call from director. I only phone interviewed there as proof that some people do get in of phone interviews.

I got a phone call from my POI at Indiana State University with an offer for their PsyD program last Wednesday.

Still waiting on Denver PsyD and Stanford PGSP before I accept any offers.

I'm thinking ISU is my top choice of all the places I interviewed because its really hard to beat their nearly full tuition remission, nearly perfect APA internship placement rate, 8 person cohort, and being part of a university. But unfortunately its in Terre Haute, Indiana. The way I keep looking at it 4 years of no fun while in Terre Haute is better than years and years of debt. If I go to ISU I could take the money I've saved for grad school and travel, buy a car, live in a nicer apartment, or if your comparing it to Stanford-PGSP I could do all three. I liked the people at the school but if I go there I definitely plan on delayed gratification from that decision.
 
Accepted to Idaho State University!!! Email from Director of Clinical Training. Soooooooo excited 😀:laugh:😀🙂😱😀🙂
 
Aww, I saw your talking up the program in the "Underrated" thread. It sounds like you really liked it! Congrats 😀

Good luck!

I just got admitted to LIU! I'm almost positive I'm going to accept the offer. I'm THRILLED!

Oh my god, Spalding started making calls! I'm freaking out! I hope, hope, hope they call me! :xf:
 
hey wildcat- I was told that they'd be meeting this week. Maybe they're on springbreak though? take good care & best. capitals.

Nope, no spring break yet (starts week of 3/23). Last I heard from the DCT, they were still waiting on funding decisions, but that was about 7-10 days ago. The faculty typically meet on Mondays, so not sure if that means things will go out this week, or maybe after Monday next week? Can't really say, but I'd imagine they will be wanting to get all acceptances out before spring break. Sorry- I know it feels like forever!
