    Hi 

    I had applied to PhD in Clinical Psychology at vanderbilt University but got accepted in their MEd in clinical Psychological Assessment program instead starting fall 2016. 

    Can anyone tell me what are the job oppotunites for international stuudents(I am from India) after this program

    You need a doctorate degree to be a Psychologist in the US, so I'm not sure what you would do with a masters.

    I'm on a waitlist so yes, still waiting. I don't know what the chances are though. Have you heard anything yet?

    Complete silence, so I do not think good news is coming my way, however, I just want to know! I want to get it over with bc the waiting is painful.

    *shrug* my first round of applications (2012) I didn't get notifications for a few of them until April/May. When I applied in 2013 UNM didn't send me my rejection letter until August.

     

    I actually appreciate so many of them going to email and online applications. :-) 

    Does Vanderbilt not look favorably on those reapplying? If I get rejected, I was planning to try again next year :/

    Someone posted a rejection phone call on the results page for PhD in LTD. If you are lurking here, I would love to know if you were interviewed and who called you to let you know your status. 

    That was docdecisionsohio I think

    I called Peabody admissions and they transferred me to somebody in the committee. 

    I suppose it is possible that people may decline their offers which may open the door to getting an acceptance. But I am considering this closed. 

    I'm sorry! :( last Friday I called SpEd, and they said that this week those of us hanging on would find out if we were rejected, accepted, or waitlisted. It's crappy that they're waiting till the end to tell all of the rejections when they've probably known for a while. I've lost hope though.

    Just called. I was told that if you have not heard anything then you are not considered to be in the running. Not sure why they have not sent out rejections if this is the case

    Did Peabody general admissions tell you that or your program?

    Still waiting to hear back about my application. I have not been rejected, but have not been invited to anything or had any communication.

    I have 2 masters degrees in education that are very relevant to my field. I have a high GPA, solid but not great GRE, and 5 incredible letters of recommendation. 

    I do not have publications, but I am also involved in a research project (which will lead to publications and conferences), and am active in 2 graduate organizations.

    Would like to hear back soon as I have been accepted elsewhere, but prefer to go to Vanderbilt.

    They told me the same. Can't be a good sign :/

    I know this is a frustrating non-answer, but it's the best I've got: if you haven't heard that you've been rejected, that means you haven't been rejected (yet). If you haven't heard that you've been accepted, then you haven't been accepted (yet). No news is not news. 

     

    There are a lot more variables in the air for the masters program that make it hard to speculate. I'm sorry I don't have anything more helpful to offer!

    Visitation weekend is next weekend, and I still haven't heard. Do you think that means waitlisted, or do they tend to send out all rejections at the end of the season?

    Masters admissions are going to be on a totally different timeline than PhD, and there is likely to be a lot of variation across departments (potentially even within departments by concentration or advisor). If you are a Master's applicant, you're in for a bit of a longer wait. 

    For doc students, I second nashville0808's general assessment that if you haven't received an invite to the recruitment weekend you're not shortlisted, but it is still possible that you'll receive an offer later in the season. I also know that they stick to a stricter GRE score cutoff for the invitation to recruitment weekend than the necessarily do for admission, so if you are an applicant with lower GRE scores, but have other upsides and have been in contact with a faculty member the general assessment may not apply in your case. There are also always exceptions to any general rule, and, basically, you won't know until you know. I know the waiting sucks, but the only way out is through. 

    I don't know specifically about joint programs' timelines. However, I know neuroscience is doing an interview/recruitment weekend this weekend. 

    What are your thoughts if others in masters in your program/track have heard and you haven't?

    Applicants who did not receive an invitation e-mail to the recruitment weekend are not shortlisted. Applicants who got a rejection e-mail or notification were rejected. Applicants who did not hear about the recruitment weekend or rejection are on a waiting list. These applicants will hear from the admission office as admitted applicants decline offers. This may come in March, April, or May.

    Did admissions tell you that? Ugh I hate the waiting

    Is that the same for masters students?

    Does anyone know if typically Vanderbilt saves rejections till after all acceptances have been sent out? So, do they report all rejections at the end? I'm feeling discouraged that I've seen a few acceptances to my program, but I haven't heard anything. Does this usually mean bad news is around the corner?
