Part time and waitlisted.

Very cool research interests. Did you apply to the full or part time program at JJ? And wow, July?! That is a different kind of torture LOL.

It was pretty cool. We talked about logistics, etc. I don’t remember too much since my son was climbing all over me. ? Oh wait I do remember we spoke about waitlists and possibly not knowing for sure if we will be accepted until April (if we are waitlisted) and that they can’t tell us where we are on the list. I believe the admissions committee is meeting this week, so we should be hearing something soon. Europe to NYC is a big move! What are your research interests?

You are killing it! I was rejected from JJ once too, then got a Masters. Sometimes we just have to find a different path—and usually that means more opportunities. I hope you choose the best school to get you where you want to be.

You are a SUPERSTAR! This is really awesome to read. Congratulations!!

Good grief I am so sorry you got rejected. I don't know why I skipped that part. I know it really really sucks. BUT like you said, things do happen for a reason so maybe you'll be going on to do better things someplace else.

So cool that you were accepted into ASU. I would have applied if I was not stuck in NYC.

CONGRATULATIONS to all who were accepted! I only applied to John Jay and finished my interviews last week. So I'm waiting on their answer.

Thank you! I think I saw you in that meeting last week! Good luck!

Congratulations!!!

UPDATE I got a John Jay email invite this morning!

UPDATE I got a John Jay email invite this morning!

Congratulations on your acceptance and interview! John Jay sent out interview invites last week, and I did not get one. ?‍♀️ I hope you get into FSU!

Best of luck to everyone! I hope you all get into your dream school, and go on to do great things.

So, invitations to interview went out last week. I did not get one.

I'm waiting to hear back from JJ and wondering how many applicants there were, since there were more than usual for the psych program.

I applied to John Jay's PhD and haven't heard anything yet either. Any idea of how many applicants there were this cycle?

Do it. Update: never mind, I didn't read everything here. I'm glad it worked out for you!

And PLEASE don't EVER apologize for long rants about interesting research topics. I do this all the time! It shows you love what you do and aren't just talking out of your ass.

Hey Elm, I've been meaning to write back to you--I've been working on a trial and things are CRAZY. The summation was yesterday so I can breathe now. Your research interests sound so fun! You are going to be great. I have considered POA, thank you for the suggestion. It isn't for me. The CJ program said I would be a better fit for the Psych & Law PhD, because I chose (and already worked with) a psych professor at John Jay. I cannot apply until the next cycle, but like I said I have some pretty cool opportunities coming up so its not SO bad. My ego is a little bruised but I'll get over it.

Awwwww @phdincrim2016 they will have a second round! I just know I won't be part of it. You have plenty of options still! Thank you for your sympathy, I am sorry you didn't hear back either.

I'm thankful I was offered such a detailed and warm explanation, rather than a cold rejection. I did have a strong application, it was just a matter of fit (for that particular program, not the school). @Partinrn @1428 Elm St @liesandfish

Congratulations! @1428 Elm St I'm so happy to hear that, and I wish you the best of luck! What are your research interests?

You are just the sweetest! Thank you so much for your kind words. The other program had an earlier deadline and is already in the admissions process. I am definitely going through something right now so the positivity helps. @Partinrn I only applied for John Jay. I'm tethered to NYC because of my child. I don't want to be anywhere else anyway. I have a pretty cool job interview coming up soon. I'd be involved in research and criminal justice while making a decent amount of money (and contributing to my pension) so it's not all bad.

I didn't get in. Not because I am a moron, but because of fit. They suggested one of their other doctoral programs. Good luck everyone, I hate this feeling and wouldn't want anyone else having to feel this way.
