Well done and congratulations! NYU is an amazing place to receive grad training and one of the best places to be for social psychology! ?

Hey everyone! Congrats on all the offers!! And to those waiting, fingers crossed for us - hope we hear good news soon! I see that on the results page, someone's submitted an acceptance from NYU for social psych. Did someone from here post that? Congrats!!! :-) I was invited to the interview weekend but have heard nothing so far.

Heard that my POI at Harvard isn't accepting any students this year. Oh well, it happens. Tried to make contact with him in September before throwing my hat in the ring and sending off my app, but received no response. Oh well - it happens. I also mentioned I'd like to work with someone else as well on my app, but I'll just go ahead and strike Harvard off my list now. So many variables at play in one admission cycle! Haha!

I'm an international applicant and I had a fun interview with my POI a month ago (Dec 27, if I remember correctly). We talked about the overlap in our research interests, possible studies, structure of the program, funding, etc. I was told I'd hear back from the department, either way, towards the end of January - no word yet. So I'm assuming there's no visitation weekend. I don't know if the process is different for students applying from within North America. Anyway, best of luck!

Hey guys, I'm new to Grad Cafe and since all of my friends were on it, I decided to check it out too - I'm glad I did! You guys have a really awesome thread going! I wish I had known about this earlier. I've applied to several social psych programs for Fall 2017. I'm just going to post what I have here - I've heard back from a couple of schools. Here's what I have so far: NYU - [Already had pre-interview; invited to visit weekend] U Washington - [Got an e-mail yesterday saying I was on the short-list but that it's still quite early in the admission process] Simon Fraser University - [Had an interview that I enjoyed a lot; Was told I'll hear back at the end of the month] Harvard - [No word yet; was told a week ago that my file had been completed and was being sent for review] Yale - [No word yet - probably didn't make the cut since invites have already gone out] UCSC - [No word yet] CUNY - [No word yet] I'm torn between all the places I've applied to, since I can see myself fitting in with each department. I haven't been extended any offers yet and if I end up getting more than two, I'm going stress out about where to go. LOL.
