Has anyone else been extended an offer of admission to UIC's Criminology, Law, and Justice program? I'm hoping to put my feelers out ther and chat about the program with other potential students.

Hi all, I've been accepted to Portland State U for PhD in applied psychology. Awaiting final details of my funding package, but the stipend looks to be about $1,200/month. Seems impossible to live off of that in Portland. I'm sure I can borrow (I've filled out the FAFSA), but will be weighing this against programs in the very affordable St. Louis if I get in (have not yet heard back). I'm an older returning student (39) and my partner is a newly minted MSW who will be looking for her first social work job. We have not merged finances at this point and so I need to think of our living situation as essentially a roommate in terms of splitting costs 50-50. Does anyone here have feedback on living off of $1200/month in Portland and how students swing it?
If you don't mind, who is your POI? Congrats on getting in!

I had an interview with Depaul about month ago and with UCSB in January..
Yeah, I figured it was a long shot! The person I wanted to work with at DePaul wasn't taking students this year. Congrats on your interviews!

Hey there! I didn't apply to any of those schools but I currently work at UIC in their psych department now. I know that they had visiting/interview day back in late January or early February. I can't recall exactly when. To my knowledge, acceptances have been sent out already. The whole department seems to work pretty quickly.
Of course, there's always a chance I could be wrong. The department is massive so theirs always the possibility a few faculty haven't made acceptances yet.
I hope you hear good news soon!
Thanks for the update! I'm lucky enough to have an offer from another department at UIC so a rejection from the psych department is a-okay with me. Riddle me not surprised since the department doesn't have much of a focus on sexual violence/intimate partner violence prevention anymore. Congrats to anyone who has been extended offers!

Still waiting to hear from UW, UIC (Psych), DePaul, and UC Santa Barbara. I know UCSB sent invites for interviews a while ago, but a formal rejection would still be nice. Has anyone heard from these schools?

You guys still alive? Anyone heard anything today? People are hearing back from other departments, but the Psychology people seem to be extra quiet today!
Here and waiting! I received an official rejection from Colorado State University but that has been it so far...

Does anyone else feel like there is a gap in notifications for social/community psych programs in the results page? I'm hoping this is true and most schools notify folks toward the end of February...

New member, lurker for about a year. I am just feeling so anxious and nervous because I feel like I haven't heard ANYTHING. I suppose that isn't completely true, but it feels mostly true...
I received one email from UC Davis mentioning that I couldn't be invited for an interview...not exactly sure what that means but I'm considering it an unofficial 'no'.
I've also been wait-listed for the OHSU-PSU Public Health program.
Otherwise, I had one interview of sorts in early January from Portland State and that was it.
I'm desperate to know! Anyone else feeling like the inevitable doom and disappointment is approaching?

Found out that my POI from UCSC will not be taking any students this year. However, they encouraged me to stay in touch and to consider reapplying next year.
I had the same thing happen to me from UCSC. I was definitely disappointed.

Yeah, I have a call set up with him tomorrow to go over some details. I haven't made my final decision but I am definitely leaning toward the program. Plus, being in Chicago is definitely a bonus.
