    One of my schools said they would notify all applicants by March 15... well it's the Ides of March now but I want to be hopeful!

    I ended up emailing my POI after he responded to my "thank you for the interview" email. I didn't ask him about a decision, but I just asked if he had any more questions or if he was still interested in a post-interview discussion (his previous email alluded to this). It was probably a bad idea, but he responded and said something like "thanks for reaching out, I'll get back to you with any follow up questions," and that was it. If he knew that he was going to 100% reject me, he would've let me know in that email, right? But if he was sure about accepting me he would've also said so in the email.... right? Can someone help me decipher this exchange? It doesn't really matter, the school school will notify all their applicants by the 15th, so I plan on waiting it out, but if I would love to hear anyone's insight.

    So... what time will the hypothetical email/phone call come? I have tons of undergrad professors who exclusively send me emails in the middle of the night, and I'm wondering if an informal email from a POI might also come at a very late time. Or do some professors send emails bright and early? Or If they do make a phone call, will they do it in the late morning, lunchtime, early evening? Ugh I just want more information.

    Nothing yet, still waiting!

    My friend gave me a chocolate bar (like one of those fancy dark chocolate bars) because she knows how stressed I've been waiting and to reassure me that I'll get into a good school. I really want to eat the chocolate bar, but I kind of want to save until I get at least one acceptance, a single acceptance letter. But then I'm worried that I'll never get to eat the chocolate bar...

    I applied to clinical psych PhD programs and this was my structure: How I got interested in psychology (tried to make it brief but substantive and non-fluffy) Research experience (in chronological order, about 3 paragraphs, main emphasis on my thesis) Clinical experience (not really applicable to you) Special skills (e.g. SPSS) Grad school goals + what I want to do after grad school Fit with professor(s) Fit with school Depending on the word limit for a particular school, I would cut certain sections; first the special skills section, then trim the research/clinical sections, and if it wasn't short enough by then, sometimes I cut the whole intro paragraph to a single sentence. Those 500-word-maximum statements were so hard, barely had enough room to discuss fit with professors.

    To those who've received acceptances and waitlists from the University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC), congratulations and/or best of luck! Could you DM me you POIs? Thanks!

    To anyone who got accepted to the University of Pittsburgh, could you DM me your POI? Thanks and congrats!

    But what about for clinical psych? I've seen that one Cognitive poster, but nothing else except for a new non-interview rejections.

    Has anyone head anything post-interview from the University of Pittsburgh?

    To the person who got accepted to the University of Pittsburgh's Cognitive Psych program, did you interview in-person or over Skype? Did it seem like other POIs/programs had also decided on their acceptances? Also congratulations!

    Question time: last Monday (so 9 days ago), my POI said in an email that he would contact me "next week." This is post-interview weekend so we've already gone through all the interview procedures and it's about time for that program to start sending out acceptances (although no one has posted acceptances on the results page for this cycle yet). Is it too early to email him back and initiate contact? If he doesn't email me by the upcoming Monday, would it be okay to reach out then? Someone just tell me to be patient!!

    Congratulations to whoever got accepted to Mississippi State! Can you DM me your POI? Thanks!

    Could whoever got waitlisted at Fordham for the clinical program DM me your POI? Thank you!

    Looks like there’s some results from Pitt now. Can developmental and clinical posters DM me your PI? My PI is in both. Thank you!

    Also... if anyone hears anything about the University of Pittsburgh (clinical, social, developmental, health, etc.), please let me know! Pitt's departments seemed pretty entangled with each other, so I imagine admissions for those might come all at once.

    If her goal is to become a practicing clinician instead of a researcher, and she doesn't want to live in the US long-term, then it depends on your country. Some countries are strict about where their clinicians receive their education. You would have to look at your country's rules about licensure and certification and see how many hours of coursework, assessment, treatment, etc. is necessary to receive her desired level of licensure or certification. In which country where these hours are done might also be important. Also, psychology (especially clinical and counseling psychology) is very culture-specific. Just because I train at the best school in the US (hypothetically), doesn't mean I would be the best clinician in your country. I wouldn't know your country's customs and social norms. I also likely wouldn't know the language, which would be an enormous barrier. It's usually best to study in the country where you want to practice. In your partner's case, it would be your home country.

    I think it depends on the school and program. I was invited to something called an Open House (I chose to go to another interview on that day so I didn't attend though), and from what I could read about it, it seemed identical to an Interview Weekend, only for applicants, not for people already admitted. It seemed just slightly less structured than an Interview Weekend.

    I sent my PI a thank you email after the interview. He emailed me back, said thank you for the note, and told me he'll contact me next week. Jesus! I hope this is a good sign. This is my first choice school and the tension is seriously killing me.

    ...and for the acceptances and wait lists from Fordham, I’d really appreciate it if you could DM your PIs! Thanks and congratulations!

    ...and to the other person who posted today that they are also an alternate for Temple, can you DM me your POI too? Thanks!

    To the person asking about this on the Results page, Fordham University will get back to its clinical applicants "late February or early March." They take a lot of time because every faculty members has a say on who gets admitted, a single POI can't unilaterally accept someone.

    The University of South Florida has sent out all their interview invites (for 2/2 and 2/16). I interviewed a few days ago over Skype and I asked my POI everything except when they would get back to students about offers. Does anyone know when they'll get back to us?

    Honestly, if Program B was my first choice, I would be over the moon that I was offered admission period. Wouldn't matter to me if I was even Program B's 10th choice.
