Seattle University: As soon as I visited campus, I felt an immediate "fit" and the faculty and staff were very welcoming. In a sense, I felt at home and welcomed right away, and the internship opportunities seem very promising and exciting.
Hey MetriX! Sorry, I don't have any information on Vandy, but my friend and I are both anxiously awaiting our decisions from Seattle U. So you can join in on the fun with us if you'd like!
It's funny that you posted this, because I was so busy with classes today that I didn't get a chance to check my email. When I saw this post, I was like, "OMG NOOOOOO THEY'VE MADE DECISIONS!" Turns out, I got accepted! I'm excited, but I totally understand what you mean Raquel--the universe has a strange way of working out, indeed.
I was just about to say, you should email them and ask for clarification. I'm so sorry this happened to you; that's a real bummer! I've never actually heard of that happening before, but I know you're going to get in to where you're meant to go. That motto is what's carrying me through this insanely stressful process! If you need to talk, just shoot me a message!
I did not get any thing, so I'm assuming that I was not invited! Which is somewhat of a relief, because having to schedule and reschedule UVM would have been a nightmare. It sucks, but we're going to UVM's weekend!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!
@xSuperRaquelx OMG!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!! THAT'S SUCH AN AMAZING PROGRAM!!!! YOU'RE GONNA DO GREAT! Message me if you want to practice interview tips with each other, because I sure can use it!!!!!
Just for those who applied, UConn hopes to send out interview invites today! And those who are no longer in the admissions cycle will be notified next week. I asked because I have my UVM interview the same time as UConn and wanted to make sure I could attend both.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO APPLIED!!!
OH MY GOSH! Thank you so much for the information! It's so incredibly helpful. I'll definitely try to reach out to the HESA department and ask them! If you don't mind me asking, do you have any tips/advice for the interview process? :-D
@SAgal in regards to my assistantship application, I TOTALLY feel you! I don't think mine was as strong as it could have been either. But I think we're just psyching ourselves out. We'll be fine (and hopefully part of the 2016 cohort!). :-)
Yeah, I've heard that people having to fund their own trip to UVM deters a lot of applicants. Some people can drive, but for me I have to fly/book a hotel and all that good stuff. BUT, I'm still super excited. And keep in mind we had to go through the assistantship application so they have to go through another set of applications after our interviews (the HESA department does). We can keep each other sane during interview days.
Yeah, UConn is one of the most competitive. I have a friend that was accepted (after interviews) and she said that one of the coordinators said they had over 400 applicants. (This was last year, mind you.)
Also, as a side note, does anyone know how many people are interviewing at the University of Vermont? I have a feeling like it's a lot and people have told me interview weekend is insanity and it's so difficult to stand out because there are so many people.
I'm going that weekend, too! Is it the only weekend you think? Either way, we can see each other!!!! I'll just be glad there's someone there who's as nervous/excited as me haha
@SAgal really!? I'm with you--I'm not very hopeful because not only was my SOP pretty dreadful, but I heard they usually receive an INSANE number of applicants each period. It was my "dream" school (i.e. the one I knew I more than likely wouldn't be accepted to, but applied anyway just to say I did). You and I can anxiously refresh our emails together! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!
I'm applying to Seattle U, queerpsych2013! I'm in the process of starting my application! (Even though it's due in under two weeks; curse the holidays for my slacking off!)
