NYU Master's admits about 50% of applicants, and about 50% of those people attend. I think it might be beneficial attending if you think you can get some solid research experience from it. Of course, there's no cut and dry rule to it. If make good connections, improve your GRE scores, write a better letter as a result of experience, and in addition, get more experience (maybe a publication), then yes, by all means, it's a good idea. Especially so if the research is in line with your current interests. Email some profs and see if they'd be willing to take you on as a Master's student. It may be a money-maker - but it's what you make of it!

How are wait lists chosen? The admission process seems to be psych faculty meeting to decide who gets recommended to the dean for admission. Do wait listed students get "on the wait list" in the psych faculty meeting, or are they technically "accepted" at that level, recommended to the dean, and then the dean puts them on the wait list if too many students were recommended?

flattsfan1216...your life also sounds quite similar to mine at the moment. and FCP...housewives...yessss. To be fair, it's the best show to analyze the psychodynamics between people, and to also see the manifestations of some subclinical psychopathology (which is always fun to try and diagnose). Which one are you watching?

Take a shot every time you see DarwinAG post something and then feel completely inadequate yourself.

All invites have been sent for uchicago

Both. For experimental and clinical psych

McGill will have "unofficially" made all decisions made by February 8th (date of final faculty meeting)

Thank you!!! That's exactly what I was curious about. The yield statistics are much smaller than I thought they'd be! I thought they'd be circling more around 70-80%

I'm curious if anyone knows about how many offers are rejected, on average, at most schools. So if an incoming class is 10, how many offers did they make? Around 15? I know this is a silly question, but I'm truly curious if any grad students know the numbers of what happened at in their departments in past years.

10 per spot? Don't most schools accept about 10-15 people? Inviting 100 people seems a bit crazy. 3-4 also seems quite high. That could mean 60 people. How many people are invited to most interview weekends, anyway?
