Much Anxious Very Waiting

There have been two folks posting that they've heard from the Cornell Psychology department. If you're reading this, would you care to mention which field you applied to? Thanks!

Haha thanks, it keeps me entertained

Maybe check if there are a lot of second or third years in the program right now. Perhaps they let in 'too many' recently in terms of funding, etc. Maybe they aren't graduating anyone this year.

Well said. Numbers get you past an initial screening, if anything. You have to remember that these programs accept like 10 out of 400 students per year. Unless you can make your application stand out among the (huge) crowd somehow, numbers alone will not get you into a top program.

Perhaps you could address this question to the "International House of Grads" forum. I think TOEFL is much more commonly accepted. Are you applying right now to Masters programs in Clinical?

That seems safe

Maybe contact the admin folks, not your POI. If it's standard procedure for them to push through updates to the faculty, then they will know how to handle it. I don't know how much good it would do to email a researcher directly about a month of new experiences, unless they're very relevant to what you are proposing to study.

My current supervisor said I should really be contacting all of my POIs around this time, so that's how I managed to do that!

I was the rejection - came from POI email after I contacted him, so I don't think anything official has gone out.

Yeah I'm on that train too.

Hahaha. Have you met social psychologists? I work in an interdisciplinary department, and I'm so not surprised that it's taking longer to hear from the Social folks.

I applied Social as well - also haven't heard anything.

I've heard good things about how my app is going over there, but haven't been directly contacted - so that seems to imply that there is still time for good news.

Also - is the person who got an interview at Toronto here? If so, what is your field?

I felt inspired to change the pic as well haha

CharlesWu - thanks for the info! Good luck to you as well.

CharlesWu did you apply to Cog Programs? I applied to about CMU and Cornell as well (not cog) and haven't heard anything.

I would like to know about Harvard as well! Who is your POI there?
