I heard back from my POI, but about Fuqua, not from psychology department.. they told me that they ARE reading through applications (sounded like 'just started).
I was the one with the UMD interview, I chatted with my POI on Skype for about 30 min. He told me that there is no in-person/ invited interview for the department.. only people who get offers will be invited to the school. I'll PM my POI to you guys who posted above
