anyone know anything about the applied clincal psych masters at penn state harrisburg? I have an interview with them tomorrow. is it very research-oriented or more clinical? Obviously I'll get a better sense tomorrow but I'd like to have some knowledge of the program before going in to my interview

still on the waitlist for a clinical PhD program! I assume the person holding the offer is waitlisted for another school higher up on their list and is waiting to hear back from them. I can't wait another week ? I also applied to the Penn State Harrisburg Masters in applied clinical psych at the last minute. Was told they still had spots open and I'd hear back from them within a week or two (this was 2 weeks ago, of course). Anyone have any insight about that program?

Let's say I decide to go but am never accepted into a PhD program afterwards. Are there research jobs out there requiring a master's that pay well enough to reasonably justify taking out loans? I know research associates don't make much more than research assistants, at least from the searching I've done. And those jobs require masters degrees.

Hi all, I was rejected for the Catholic University of America clinical PhD program but was offered a spot in their MA psychological science program. Although it's not clinical, they bragged that all of their masters students who applied to PhD programs (including clinical) this year received offers. Is it worth it for me to accept their offer and try to reapply to clinical PhD programs in the future? Or will this not make me a more competitive candidate? I'm waiting to hear back about financial aid because this program is very expensive, as is the cost of living in DC. I'm worried that they already awarded all of their available scholarships/assistantships to those who applied directly to the masters program back in January ? Still hoping that I get in to UNC Greensboro (clinical PhD) off of the waitlist.

Anyone holding on to an acceptance from UNCG with the intention of releasing? Not trying to put pressure on anyone, just thought I'd ask ?

Feel this so much! I'll bet people with offers are waiting to hear back from other programs or are also waitlisted themselves. Presumably things should start moving in the next few weeks as the schools with later interviews (I know my friend interviewed at Northwestern last week) send out their admission updates.

Anyone hear back from Saint John's? I was told they are meeting today and I'm not sure if that means that acceptances are going out today or if they'll start making calls later in the week.

The WORST thing is some schools already put you on their grad student newsletter or send you info about upcoming events before they've even made admissions decisions so you get a heart attack every time you see their name pop up

For those of you who have completed a masters prior to applying for clinical PhDs, did you receive an MA/MS in clinical psychology or general psychology? Going off this list of programs someone provided: https://clinicalpsychphd.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/funded-psychology-masters-programs/ and it seems only a select few are actually masters in clinical psych. What other masters psych programs do research and prep you for a PhD in clinical psych?

Y'all I'm so frustrated. My interview was a month ago. I emailed prof a little over a week ago, no response. Emailed DCT yesterday, no response. I don't know what else to do. I'm assuming rejection because two people have posted acceptances. What else can I do to get a response?

absolutely nothing. even if they do respond, that's no indicator either way of your chances

Who is your poi if you don’t mind? You can DM if you don’t want to post here

anyone hear from Ohio Univ post interview? Saw one acceptance 2/8 but I'm inclined to think it was a troll.

anyone hear from UNC-greensboro SPK? Freaking out. No one has posted about her specifically on the results section but that doesn't mean she hasn't extended an offer already ?

I reached out to my POI expressing that I was still interested and requested an admissions update. This was on Tuesday and I haven't heard back. Not sure if he missed my email, if they're still deliberating, still have to go through all that red tape, etc.

Freaking out because two people posted acceptances to UNC Greensboro (NOT my POIs) and I haven't heard anything yet, and am starting to assume rejection. Someone please say something to make me feel better >.<

Someone shared this with me: Dear Dr. XXVV, Thank you again for the opportunity to interview at Ohio University a few weeks ago. I remain very interested in the program and would greatly appreciate any updates regarding my application status! Thank you, your name But I would wait until a solid 2/3 weeks until after the final interview date to follow up and ask for an update.

1st off, congrats!! Where were you accepted? 2nd, that seems super sketchy! Have you mentioned the April 15th deadline to them and did they say why they pushed it forward? How. much is the deposit? Part of me wants to tell you to pay the fee and risk losing it if you get a better offer

it's more like interview week. i have an interview with one faculty member tomorrow and another friday. there are more clinic tours and Q&As next week as well I want to say

Well... I did it haha. Let's see what happens. Thanks for the advice!

interviewed with Ohio University a few weeks back. Prof said I'd hear back probably by Monday of last week. I saw someone posted that they got accepted around that time. At what point can I email the professor and ask for an update? I am very much assuming rejection at this point so I don't know if it's even worth emailing him but what do I have to lose?

congrats to the ohio university poster! would you mind DM'ing your POI's initials?

Thank you so much! I do have a lot of research experience already (3 years full-time plus an additional 1.5 years part-time). Unfortunately, I only have a few under review or drafted manuscripts, which POIs may consider insufficient given the amount of time I've been a research assistant. I am hoping a research-heavy masters program will give my ample opportunities to to publish and present (an absurd amount of red tape at my current job that made it almost impossible to get any poster presentations or writing done... I more or less had to beg).

saw someone post that they got accepted to Purdue West Lafayette?? I think their application deadline was about 2 weeks ago and I haven't seen anyone post about interview invites. Is this real? Or did I miss something: ?

woohooooooo! where?
