I didn't apply to USC's psychology program but I met someone who mentioned they had an interview there already. I applied to their Health behavior research PhD program (I'm in health psych) and haven't heard anything back, either. I know I'm definitely being considered because they contacted me a few weeks ago, but it was an admissions person talking about something in my file and not a professor or POI. :/

I don't know how many people UCR admitted but I do know that the recruitment weekend is the 4th-7th. I think UCR has a waitlist, though, so if you didn't get a rejection letter I'm betting you're on the waitlist. Strawberryfields/Pharcyde, who has your PI? I'm just curious.

Yeah, I heard about the riots at Cal. To be honest with you, students at UC campuses protest stuff all the time. Before the budget cuts and financial crisis even really hit, the students have always found something to be vocal about. In this case, however, it happens to be something that affects UC students rather than the rest of the world. At my particular school, undergrads are definitely more worried and stressed about tuition and money due to the budget cuts. However, I am definitely NOT a poster child for low SES students, but I have the FULL COST of my UC education covered by federal and state grants because of financial need. CalGrants (California's need-based funding for college students) even increased to cover the increase in tuition this year. I can't say much for the following years as I will no longer be an undergrad, but I think the students that would be most adversely affected by tuition increases should be fine as long as they apply for FAFSA on time (in CA, it needs to be submitted before March 2nd!).

Aww that's too bad. Was it anyone's first choice? I kind of wish schools would just tell us if we're rejected once they've made their decisions. That wouldn't bother me as much as the waiting does :|

Well it looks like I'm out of the running for Arizona State too, then. Alas.. Good luck to you all with your other applications!

Just thought I'd mention that I was admitted into a UC school for my PhD this Fall and was offered funding -- my PI wrote to inform me that my funding is a "guaranteed minimum." I am also currently a UC student. Although the university is definitely going through a financial crisis, I think it will make it through. California has too much pride in the UC system to let it fall through the cracks. If anything, I'd be worried about applying to the CSU system...

So (as mentioned in a few other boards) I've been lurking for some time and hadn't noticed anything on this board so I figured I'd finally post something. Did anyone get an interview invite? I applied to the developmental program, btw.

The only developmental program I applied to (I'm primarily a social/personality applicant) is Arizona State. Anyone heard from them? I read somewhere that interviews started going out, but I wasn't sure if it was for developmental.

So I've been lurking on the boards for sometime (and watching this topic), but with no activity I figured I'd bump the post. I applied too, but I haven't heard anything from them and the online system still says "Routed." Has anyone else heard anything?
