    I believe we should give it another week, but internally I kinda took it as a rejection since their deadline IS December 15 to invite students. 

    Have you gotten any word from your POI? I have had a preliminary phone interview and my POI said I will get a decision about in-person invites by Wednesday, 12/18.  So at least hold out until the end of this week probably!

    I got a 159V/149Q/5.5 writing and was accepted to a R1 clinical psych PhD program for Fall 2019 if that helps! 

     

    Editing to add that a lot of programs will overlook a weakness in one area if you make up for it in another. For example, I clearly had a terrible quant GRE score, and I also had a low undergrad GPA (3.13 cumulative), but I have great research and clinical experience, multiple first-author poster presentations, multiple manuscript collabs, and at the time of applying I had an encyclopedia chapter where I'm first authored in prep in my area of interest. I was convinced I wouldn't make it to the next stage of the process because of my GRE/GPA but I received multiple interviews to my top programs of choice. In short, don't let the numbers get you down!!!! 

    This gives me so much hope! I have similar research experience & research product numbers!

    What schools are you looking at? You might want to consider applying to some terminal masters programs if you are worried you are not competitive enough to get admitted directly into a PhD program. Depending on what your GRE scores turn out to be I would say that you have a decent chance of getting accepted but clinical programs are super hard to get into. If you go into a masters program first and show that you can succeed in a graduate school environment it may help your chances of being accepted down the road. Of course, apply to PhD programs as well. It just might be a nice back up plan rather than a post-bacc. 

    I am looking at U of Maryland, U of VA, U of Florida, U of Texas, Austin, Florida State University, U of Delaware, U of South Florida, West VA U, but again I haven't exactly narrowed down anything and I am still looking at other places and might add/delete from the list! I was hoping to not have to do the Masters step for financial reasons among others. I had spoken with a lot of my advisors and PI's at various labs I have worked in on their thoughts and had found that a Post-Bacc was a good step before a PhD program in their opinions so I think that I would be doing that (if anything) before a PhD program.
