Probably professors and classmates. Your school probably also has some student support and tutoring services that could be valuable to look into.

I guess I am a little confused, did you visit the school(s) that you applied to/meet your POI and the grad students and decide that you wouldn't be happy there? Or are you worried that the school will not set you up for your future career as you would like it to? As @Tahlain mentions, your happiness in the program and at the school are both important, but there is also the question of whether the school will benefit you, and, in the end, lead to where you hope to be in 10 years.
The decision-making process is an extremely personal one, so it's hard to say what would be best for you, but my SO looked at the following factors when making his decision (and he is also interested in pursuing academia):
1) Overall rank and reputation of program in question.
2) How often students in the program are publishing papers, in which journals are they publishing, and what do the citation rates look like (look particularly at your POI's current/past students).
3) Where are these students completing their post-docs?
4) Most importantly (at least for my SO), where are your POI's grad students working after they graduate? If they are tenured faculty at a university, how long did it take for them to land that position after they graduated with their PhD?
Looking at these things made the decision relatively easy. However, tbh, I am not sure that my SO would have turned down a funded offer from any of the schools that he applied to because he looked at each school he was applying to and made sure that he would be happy there and that it was a program he wanted to attend before he applied. Due to the competitive nature of clinical programs, I would imagine it rare for people to turn down a funded offer and reapply the next year, unless something happened at the school they were accepted to that made them think they would be miserable and unhappy.

I currently work full-time and still volunteer in a lab at a local university. I would reach out to lab managers and POIs at local universities and see if they are taking any volunteer RAs to gain research experience if the PhD is really the route you are interested in. If you're only interested in becoming a clinician, then I agree with the above poster that a PsyD program would probably be a better fit.

Usually the POIs aren't looking for folks with exact same research interests because they want their students to be able to contribute something new. Sometimes they are just looking for someone with similar interests that can take the field in a new direction. It's of course certainly disappointing, but it may not have anything to do with your application, they may just be short on funding too. I hope another school works out for you, and if not there's always next year!

I think you should prepare what research questions you want to answer (top one or two), why is it important, what do you hope to find, how will you go about doing so/what experience do you have in regards to this line of research? Brief, but it shows you have a solid idea of what you want to do and can think about ways of succeeding. Good luck, we are all rooting for you!

I'm working full time right now (copywriting), but I just applied to a writing and research assistant job at a top school (in the city where I live). I'm hoping I get it because it could give me another job that directly improves my application + take more (free) classes to fill in gaps in my education (I'm looking at you grad-level stats class). 
So between waiting for Ph.D. responses + job interview phone call (they already replied via email saying they were interested)...I'm learning how to be patient REALLY well.
 

DU GSPP has interviews in late February/early March, so interviews probably haven't been out yet. In past years, it's been a phone call invite from one of the professors in the department and I imagine that's how it will be this year too. You can also call the department admin (Julie is awesome) and find out if they know when interviews will go out. Good luck!

It's not about doing anything wrong, it's about being the right fit at the right time (for yourself and the university/faculty). There isn't a formula for admission. My understanding is that programs look for students who can be successful in the program, who can be an asset to the program/university, good stats, etc. Most people applying have good scores, letters, grades, etc. and while those are important to every application, they aren't necessarily the deciding factor. Some schools get 400+ applicants, and interview 15-20, for 2-3 spots in Clinical Psych PhDs. Some professors get 100+ apps to their labs alone, and can only choose one student. It also takes most people more than one round of applications to gain admission, so try not get too down on yourself if you haven't heard back yet. If you wind up not getting interviews this year, it can't hurt to contact your POIs and ask if they have any advice to improve your application for the next round because they can usually provide personalized input. But it's still early in the game! Hang in there and good luck!

I spoke to my POI and was told decisions about interviews will be made this week and next, and we should probably hear by the end of next week. Good luck!
