sublime Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi everyone, I got an interview for a social psych PhD program. It's one of my top choices, so I am very excited. Does anyone know, in general, how many people get invited to psych program interview days vs how many get accepted? Also, what can I expect from the weekend? Looking forward to your responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digits2006 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 That is awesome! If you don't mind me asking, which school is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialpsych Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 It can be anywhere from about 15% to 80-90%...sorry, that probably doesn't help much! As for what to expect: a lot of one-on-one meetings (probably back to back) with professors (POI and others) and possibly current students; several information sessions about life in the program; a tour of the campus, and possibly the surrounding town; and at least one nice dinner/party with time for mingling. Congratulations, and good luck...you're officially on to the fun part of this whole process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does one prepare for recruitment weekend (deciding what to say/not say at interviews, wear, bring to campus and host's home, etc.)? Thanks!

socialpsych Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 How does one prepare for recruitment weekend (deciding what to say/not say at interviews, wear, bring to campus and host's home, etc.)? There have been about a bajillion threads on each of these topics. As a start, see: -- I think this and the threads linked from that thread should address most of your questions.
