yup. Although from what I remember individuals who are contacted for interviews are recommended to not make it public so you won't know until you get either a phone call or rejection letter. It may change this year though.

A post-bac gpa is usually separate and yes just like research lady said mst are unfunded but not all as some programs have a required research component where you become a paid RA. In this case or for a master's I doubt they'd disregard your uGPA but it may help offset it somewhat .
Extending your undergrad time is an option as well but I would only do so if there is a lab that you feel you can do a decent amount of high quality work and can get financial aid. Some people who have the finances and a clear goal move to work in the lab that they ultimately really want to apply to as to become a known factor to admissions committee. But the best combo I think is working as an RA after undergrad and taking classes. Psychology is not a field worth taking out a lot of debt for.
Do you have an idea of which programs you're aiming for? Fully funded vs. partially (Not recommended) funded? Competitiveness of the program? (Ie chapel hill or Harvard vs alliant university). I don't believe in official rankings like first vs third but quality of programs do vary.

Just a heads up that NYU doesn't have a clinical program per se (only counseling).Also you may need to apply to more schools (particularly less selective schools) and open up which regions you're applying for (these all seem to be on the east coast and half are in ny/nj). My cohortmate had similar stats and it was pretty rough for them (they restricted themselves to ny/nj as well). I had lower gpa but 4 years of research, fellowships, and a pub and it was still not a comfortable experience for me. Its possible our cycle was particularly competitive but no sense gambling with your chances.

I can see them and I already want to have a heart to heart with reviewer 4. Like who hurt you sir and why are you taking it out on me??

In New York and haven't received anything yet but as my modules haven't changed I'm assuming I didn't get it 
Congrats to the winners and ONWARD TO NEXT YEAR!!

You may get more of a response in 'the bank subforum as there' already a thread there. But yep just trying to finish the supplement.

Hi all,
I went through this process twice (came out with accepts from 2/3 of my top programs this time around) and what I found that I did differently was that I was way less nervous and let the conversation unfold organically. This definitely means reading over their most recently published work and paying particular attention to the methods, results and the next steps they propose in the discussion (got waitlisted at one school for this XD because I was neck and neck with another applicant so this had to be our tie-breaker). But I found that for all of my in-person interviews it was more of a conversation rather than a q & a. Have questions but I don't suggest just throwing at them rapid fire one after the other; really get in-depth on crucial concepts if you can.
Another tip: think of your own study and a hypothesis+methods you would use for it. I had this come up both times I applied. It doesn't have to be super sophistication and grant application worthy just somewhat relevant to your PIs work to show that you did your homework.
Good luck!

I would say keeping students in dark is not uncommon. I also have on-campus interviews coming up in 10 days and I wasn't sent any agenda either. Last year at one school, I was given my meetings schedule on the day of the interview.
To keep it brief, please don't worry (worrying will use up your cognitive resources which you need!). Try to be familiar with the research interests of your areas' faculty, and try to prepare intelligent answers to common questions (e.g., why do you want to go to grad school? what are your research interests? what are your career goals upon graduating?).
Best of luck!

Unless you are talking about biological psychology or clinical neuropsychology, then this may be the wrong forum for you. We are a psychology forum here!

This is somewhat tangential but I can see this possibly serving as a source of conflict for you throughout the interview process and graduate career. PI's and programs want to see autonomy in their students and if your parent's are over involved in your life as an adult, regardless of culture, this could raise some red flags (ie parent's accompanying a student to interview day or social functions for applicants). More relevant is that more so than rankings you have to focus predominantly on fit. You can adore top ranked schools like Harvard/UCLA/Chapel Hill but if fit isn't there you'll either a) not get an interview/be accepted or; b ) be accepted but be miserable in the program for 5 - 6 years. I understand needing to respect your parents (I'm from a culture with similar viewpoints and took forever to get my parents out of a 'its MD or bust' mindset) but you need to balance that with respecting your independent growth and development.
