  1. The maintenance message came up around 9pm the night before sometime from 2011 to 2013, and I think one time the day before at 9:30am, so, I'd assume if there's no message up by tomorrow night it'll be next week. I also have a hard time believing they'd stray from Tues/Fri though I'm unsure as to why they've kept it to those two days.

    This has probably been discussed already, but how often has there been a correlation between a maintenance advisory and the results being posted the next morning? 

    At least the ones we know of.

    At least for the past six-seven years there's always been the maintenance message beforehand. 

  3. Ok, so it's looking like it's not going to be tomorrow given that a maintenance message has preceded literally every announcement in the past few years, unless I'm mistaken. Now time to see if we can put it out of our minds? 

  4. Hi all, does anyone know if any HMs have been bumped up to fellows/when that may occur? I don't have high hopes for that but wanted to ask before I start planning on whether to apply again this year, starting up the writing process again, etc.

  5. E/VG VG/E E/E HM as an Undergrad :( Disappointed but it's okay. Would be curious on anyone's thoughts on whether to apply again as a first year grad or as a second year grad (and how people navigated that decision this year). Congrats to those who got it!

    This is awful, and hopefully it shows all the scientists in the ivory tower that research and science are unfortunately political, whether they want it to be or not.

  7. What exactly are prestige and rankings determined by? I feel like a lot of people just take rankings at face value without questioning who determines them (i.e., which people have enough power to determine rankings, that the field of psychology is still dominated by white men who are biased when selecting which grants get funded, etc.) Because I'm considering a super less well-known school over a top 5 program - it looks like I'd be able to publish about the same amount, the faculty at this less well-known school are super respected in their field, etc. And this lesser known school is extremely competent in terms of diversity and social justice compared to all the other programs I applied to, including this top 5 one. Though, as OP touches on, people have told me that going to this top 5 program would help me get a job after graduation - but at this point I'm not sure it's the type of job I would even want (though this program was great when I interviewed, just not as good a fit for me I think). I'd be curious to hear what other people think, because after going on some interviews I feel like basing your decision on fit is the way to go.

  8. This is a super interesting thread. I just applied to a lab at a school against a candidate who 1) went to that school for undergrad and 2) worked as an RA for that particular lab for two years after undergrad and as a result got two-three pubs out of it, whereas I 1) didn't go that school for undergrad and 2) don't have any pubs. Hoping that I still have a shot - I don't think they'd invite someone to interview if they didn't have a chance, right?

    Emailed Boston University yesterday.  " We will begin extending interview invitations late tomo thru Friday. Interviews are scheduled for Friday, February 10th. "

     

     

    So this means that if we do not receive an email by Friday, we are off their list? Furthermore, for those who have received invites from Duke and DePaul - did you get a rough feel for when they would finish sending invites? Scheduling flights is pretty hectic :/
