I noticed the same. I just assumed there is some sort of interview waitlist.

Is anyone who was invited to interview for the child track willing to share their POI?

Reviving an old thread but NYU Counseling Psych PhD. I got out of the application fee by being an Americorp Alum! When applying to 10+ programs, it really makes a difference!

I applied to clinical. I emailed yesterday since some invites went out over a week ago. They have extended all invites :-(

Sorry for not really answering your questions. In the past, I have found a lot of information from SDN: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/doctoral-applicants-read-first-helpful-threads.714255/. I do want to speak to the affirmative action question. I too am a person of color who has gone through the application process before (and currently). Some schools do say that they encourage people of minority groups to apply to increase diversity within the programs, but I would not put too much weight into that. I've read (Insider's guide to graduate programs in clinical and counseling psychology) that being a minority, in some cases, may get your application to be reviewed more closely or even invited to interview but the most important part about the selection process is the research match and your ability to be successful in a program. So, although your minority status may get you past a certain point in the process, you should still be a competitive applicant.

Sometimes it depends on how the program does their invites. If POIs are reviewing applications individually, they may be contacting applicants at different times. I think it's still early enough to be hopeful :-)

I see a few GWU interview posts for Clinical PhD on the results search. Is anyone willing to share their POI?

This early in the process, I would assume that it means that the admissions department sent your application to the respective department for review.

I updated my signature. So far, I've only heard that one person received an invite from a school that I applied to. We don't have the same POI and I haven't seen a post from anyone else, so I assume that their POI likes to get things started quickly. Based on previous years, most of the programs I applied to will be extending invites early-mid January.

I don't know much about the admissions process for other psych programs, but I thought it would be helpful to have one thread limited to clinical/counseling doctoral applicants. I'm assuming most deadlines have passed, so now we wait... I, of course, mapped out when I should expect to hear from programs based on information from TGC and SDN . I'm not expecting to hear until early January. What is everyone doing to pass the time? I currently work for a school district, so after this week, I'm off for about 2 weeks. I need to find something to do to keep myself busy .
