Nope, not yet!

These numbers seem to be very common. 12 interviews, while only <5 admitted.

Interested in the interviews from U of Arizona's Social Psych program. Who was the POI's? PM me if you could. THANKS!

Well, now that I've gotten an interview invite, I'm beginning to prepare myself for this next step. Does anyone know if Counseling Psych interviews are ran any different than Clinical programs? It just seems that most of the posted experience with interviews is coming from Clinical applicants. I know each program varies, but I sure wish I knew things like how many invitations my POI sent out. Also, wondering if it will be a lot of questioning like a "try-out" or more of an informal sanity check like many have mentioned. Any experience with Counseling Psych interviews would be great SP30

When people on the Results Search say they "checked the website" what does this mean? I look on all of the school's pages to see if there is like a link to see who has been accepted, but I don't really understand this. Where on the websites should I be checking? Thanks

I think another drawback would be that you would have to go through the application process again in two years, for what that may be worth. I have heard that not all Masters Programs feature the advisor/advisee relationship that you would get in a PhD program..

I saw that two people got interview invites already for Mizzou's Counseling Psych– unfortunately I have heard nothing

Ahhhhhh, Winter Break at last.. Perfect time to fly home, sit by the fire, and work on some apps... oh wait, they were due December 1st? I already did all of them? What am I supposed to do now??

I see what you're sayin'

I see your point, but in all honesty its not that hard to study for the GRE and get a halfway decent score and then open up your options to all schools instead of the small window of schools that don't require it (hoping they are a good fit for you). You seem to have a very poor perception of the GRE. I would guess that you scored poorly on it and now advocate schools that don't require it.

My poor gmail account must feel overworked with how often I refresh it. Sure you could argue that its a relieving feeling to be just waiting, which it was for a few days, but to me it is stressful not being able to work on anything now that I am done with apps. Sitting back and waiting is not my style. The IRB at my school is done for the semester, it appears, so I'm playing the waiting game with them as well for my research project.. Thanks for starting this Thread

Thanks Bren. That actually makes sense, I think I misconstrued the word..

Thanks Takeruk, I was hoping the grad dorms might be step up. If you are interested, here is what the Student Portal said for this particularly awesome school: Residency Requirements The residency requirement in graduate programs is intended to ensure that students become integrally involved in the academic life of their program and of the university. By being in residence, students are more likely to become fully immersed in graduate study for a substantial period of time and to develop a relationship of scholarly and professional collegiality with faculty and fellow students. To this end, it is desirable for students in graduate programs, especially those in doctoral programs, to be full-time residential students for a significant period. During their residency period, students are expected not only to take courses, but also to participate in other aspects of the intellectual life of their discipline and of the university community. Many doctoral students have research assistantships in which they work closely with faculty members and peers on research and development projects. Some have teaching assistantships. There are also many other opportunities to attend presentations, colloquia, conferences, and brown bag lunches where participants discuss theoretical and practical issues in their discipline. Participation in national and regional professional meetings, including the presentation of scholarly papers, is encouraged during this time. Residency Requirement for Ph.D. and Ed.D. Students For Ph.D. and Ed.D. students, two consecutive semesters in a single academic year (exclusive of summer session) must be spent in residence on the campus. This residency period must be subsequent to admission to the program. Nine (9) credit hours of program course work must be completed in each of these semesters. Maybe I saved some of my dorm stuff from Freshmen and Sophomore year!

Going through some of the Student Portals and Grad Student Handbooks of schools that I've applied to, I'm surprised to see that some require a first year Ph.D student to live on campus in the student housing. Does anyone have experience with this? Surely it can't be freshman year all over again. I barely fit into a twin-XL back then, and I sure haven't gotten any shorter since. Also, for me personally I loved the social atmosphere of living on campus, so this is certainly not a deal breaker. I just find it kind of odd, and was wondering what your thoughts and experiences are.
