UCSB Experimental is 2/17 (originally earlier but moved because lots of people couldn't make it)

Well, looks like NYU and Chicago are starting to come out. This is starting to actually affect my sleep, ugh.

I feel so nervous sending emails asking when we'll hear back. So if you have a bigger backbone than me and do it, let us know here haha

Reiterating, all profs I've talked to about this topic, both at R1's and LAC's, said that nearly all their academic job interviews (for psychology) resulted from connections they had made while in grad school, either themselves or indirectly through their mentor. So it seems like who your advisor knows (and who thinks they are an impressive researcher) will heavily influence your job prospects.

Is anyone aware if on-site interview invitations have been sent out? Someone mentioned the campus interview would happen late January, but I haven't heard anything since I skyped with my potential POI back in December.

It was for somewhere else. I wish it was for Harvard already, that's one of my heavy hitters.

I think it's because they don't know their department budget until this time of year. That was the case at one school I just visited.

Who was the one not taking students? Considering we were at the interview together last weekend, I'm pretty sure we applied to similar people everywhere else haha

I can understand why they don't do this, but man I wish they would tell everyone who didn't get an interview right away that they were rejected. A lot less stress in the long run...

I applied Social, but haven't heard anything thus far. If you do, PM me as well
