I listed no more than 2 POIs. If I only felt I had a match with one, I only mentioned that one. I emailed almost all of my POIs to make sure that they were accepting students this cycle (with the exception of those who had this information posted on their website). I very clearly stated my research interests and then described why I was interested in the POI and how I felt our research interests matched up.

I would say you need tangible research work in the field that you'll be applying to. This takes the form of things like working in a research lab, writing an honors thesis, poster or oral presentations at conferences, independent research projects, etc. Basically, you need to have something that will make the admissions committee believe that you are able to contribute to their program and project, and that usually takes the form of past success/experiences with similar projects. With that said, I am sure you can get an interview without having co-authored if you have other things that make up for it. However, I would say a connection with faculty is important assuming that they will be providing you a recommendation letter.

if you don't mind my asking, when did Penn State send you an interview?

School: SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral ProgramArea/Degree: Clinical Psychology, PhDRationalization: Many qualified applicants- over 400 applications for 15 spots. I knew it a was a big reach going into it, but I had some hope.Comment: NoneCoping tactics: None. It would have been awesome if it worked out, but I saw it coming.

Does anyone know if all interviews have been extended for: University of Vermont Depaul

Can anyone confirm if the rejections from the University of Vermont were a mass email?

I'm surprised that it hasn't worked out given your experience. Have you been exclusively applying to POIs that match your interests and experience?

It is possible that you will get an email after you submit the application prompting you to submit your statement and CV on a separate webpage. But I agree with the previous poster- I would try emailing someone. But, ether way, don't worry too much. It's not your fault as long as you've read the instructions carefully. I would submit the application and then email my materials to the office, stating that I couldn't find a way to upload my statement and CV.

I can only imagine that it would be beneficial. You get a chance to make a first impression with the grad students, and it might even help you to break the ice a little bit so that the next day is not so intimidating.

Yes, I mean the Curry School of Education only!

UVA interviews went out yesterday, but there might be a chance that not everyone has been emailed yet.

UVA interview offers went out today, although I do not know if others will be notified later.

Clinical!

Those who received interviews from Penn State and Univ of Mass-Boston, do you mind DMing me your POI's initials?
