Does anyone want to claim the NYU Social Psyc interview? Would be eager to know who your POI is if you're willing to share, or even just when their in-person interviews are.

Has anyone heard from NYU social psych?

When I interviewed with profs whose research interests weren't that related to mine we rarely spoke about their research. I was asked general q's about my research interests and we sometimes built off that (even if it's not their area of expertise, they can most likely still talk about it) or was asked broader questions about why I wanted to go to grad school, why I was interested in my particular field, etc. In terms of not meeting your POI I do think that's a little strange unless they happen to be out of town or something - I agree that politely requesting a meeting would be a good idea. If there's a reason they can't meet with you during the interview visit, I'd think they'd at least agree to talk to you on the phone/Skype at some later date.

Considering he said not to worry if you can't make it it sounds like he realized that it was a bit last-minute - I highly doubt that you've made a bad impression, especially as you've said you're available pretty much any other time.

Sorry for the late reply - yes I am! Are you?

I did! I received an invitation to a recruitment event later in January shortly before the holidays (via e-mail from a POI) and was told more info would be coming ... but haven't heard anything since. I know they don't officially start class for a few more days but I'm really hoping for more details soon so I can make travel arrangements. Anyone else in the same situation?
