I'll be attending UCF for a PhD. in Industrial Organizational Psychology!!

So April 15th is finally here, Hope everyone got into a program and/or their top choice! Even if you didn't get into a program at all this year, it's not the end of the world. I applied to programs last year and was eventually rejected from all of them. I restudied/retook my GRE's and redid my SOP for the application cycle this year and got into my top choice! Goes to show you, just because you fail once doesn't mean you can't get it the next time... so try again!

Accepted my Offer at UCF!!! Go Knights!!!!

Thanks guys!! So glad to be accepted somewhere finally. The last few months have consisted of constant email checking and refreshing of the results page. I'm so glad that's finally over and I can have some peace of mind. The funny thing is, of all the schools I applied to, UCF IMO, has the best I/O program but they're the first to offer me an acceptance. Goes to show you, this whole applicant process can be so random.

Just got an offer from UCF!

It's interesting to see the stats of applicants who are in a similar situation as I am. I've been trying to figure out what criteria(s) programs find to be most important in deciding who gets an offer immediately and those who get wait listed.

If you don't mind me asking, what are your stats? I also got waitlisted at UCF, I know they're in the process of going through their waitlist right now.

It's funny how you mentioned checking your spam folder, I got a call today from a number coming from a state that I did not apply to school in. I was at work at the time and was contemplating on calling it back since I had no clue who it was. I decided to call it back after work and it turns out that it came from a professor at one of the schools I applied to asking me if I was still interested in their program, and if I had received an email they sent to me a few days ago. I told them I didn't receive an email and would check again when I got home. Upon looking through my email, it turns out his email go sorted into my spam folder!!! If my professor hadn't called me, I would likely have never saw the email and they'd probably think I wasn't interested or accepted an offer elsewhere.

If anyone else is waitlisted at Albany and UCF, it looks like both schools are going into their waitlist to fill up the remaining offers.

Congrats!! USF has such an amazing program! I do have a question, In a earlier post you asked about Albany, did you apply to their program as well? Or have you not gotten an answer from them yet.

You should probably email them and ask. I contacted most of my schools and got a reply back within a few days for most of them.

I emailed Clemson was told that they had 4 offers out and 1 of the 4 had already accepted. They are waiting to hear back from the other 3 before they make further decisions.

i contacted their admissions office

It seems like this year has been the most competitive year so far from what schools have been telling me. Most schools I applied to have over 100+ applicants and are only accepting 2-4 students this year. This is crazy!! now I sort of know how it feels to be a Clinical Psych applicant.

Clemson currently has 4 offers out, and 1 has already been accepted.
