I got a G/g (with no real criticism) VG/VG and E/E. Main complains were my lack of statistical background. Will reapply right before my second year as a grad student. Bummed but hopeful! I know that no one gets the same reviewers but given that no one complained about my actual application and just my credentials (they liked me and my proposal!) do we think i have a shot?

Mine also still says received! troll theory for the win. So we think it'll come out basically at 6 am today? AHHH

Congratulations to all who have made their decisions. I have officially accepted George Mason, definitely get in touch if you are also planning to attend =)

I declined my UMD offer so I hope that helps someone out soon!

Hi setite, Unicersity of Minnesota already made offers and they do not keep a waitlist. quote name="setite" post="1058236312" timestamp="1425333023"]My University of Minnesota application now says "Decision Made", though I haven't heard anything yet. I also got a call from a professor at IIT, I guess they are accepting me into the MS in Personnel and Human Resources Development instead of the PhD because my GRE Quant score was too low. It's a non-thesis MS though research is allowed, and I can apply for PhD after a year. I'm still hoping for a funded PhD but this isn't bad. My real world math performance is fine so I'm confident I could move into the PhD program. The question is, if I go into an unfunded program can I buy myself a new car as a gift or not? My car is a the 10 year mark and I'm tired of blowing a fuse every time I try to charge a laptop because of the crazy thing wiring in my car.

I got an interview at Teacher's College- February 13th

You certainly will!

I was accepted to the PhD program. i don't know if they're spread out

Congratulations to all! I was also accepted yesterday to George Mason's program!

Thanks Engali, The reasons related to my change are heart aren't exactly related to job prospects, more so just what energizes me personally and what I am best suited for (which isn't academia or therapy anymore, though I still want to work with people in a way that helps them achieve their fullest potential). It was a tough decision but I believe the correct one for me. But it is a good point about my application and how it will come off so I will get an IO book to learn more about the specific areas. Thank you for the tip I appreciate it !

Thanks very much everyone! I had another question about the application process. For clinical PhDs each person applies to one mentor (for the most part), but ranks several others (usually). For a clinical personal statement, I would tailor it just to that one top person, because that usually works best (from what I understand, if you don't rank a certain faculty member first, they don't even look at you). I know that at some IO programs this is not the case and thus one writes a more general personal statement (e.g. Minnesota). But I was wondering, is it still encouraged to be specifically interested solely in one professor, is there any advantage to that? Or does it work better, for those programs (like Columbia, which is Social Organizational, though not technically IO is similar) that don't have you apply to a mentor, to express interest in as many of the faculty that you are actually interested in?

Thank you! I think I do want to do the applied but I would like the option to do research later on or teach adjunct or something if I want to.

OK good to know. I don't think I will have the option to add any workplace measures but it is something to think about. As for the info about your past and current focus, also great to know for me think about framing my experience. thank you!

Thank you! great to know.
