I also recommend specifically following @psychchatter on Twitter, they tend to retweet and post a lot of job opportunities and anything related to academic psych Twitter.

Oops, my bad! The interview date isn't until 2/25 though, so it's totally possible (and also very plausible) that faculty will send out interview invites later.

Hey there! I actually got an official interview from Washington State and so did another member of my lab who applied to a different POI. The department has already met but it's possible that other faculty members are on different timelines.

School: Wayne State University Type: Clinical Psychology PhD Date of invite: Jan 13th Type of invite: Direct email from POI with DCT CCd Interview date(s): February 26th or March 1st DM for POI: Of course

School: Iowa State University Type: Counseling PhD Date of invite: 1/11/2021 Type of invite: Email directly from POI Interview date(s): 02/05/2021 or 02/12/2021 DM for POI: Yes

I received an interview offer from Oregon Counseling but I'm unable to make that interview date, so I asked if they had alternate dates available. They said that they're working on it and that they would let me know, so I wouldn't necessarily count yourselves out yet!

School: Washington State University Type: Clinical PhD Date of invite: 12/29/2020 Type of invite: E-mail from PI Interview date(s): Preliminary interview on 1/5 DM for POI: Yes

I posted when I had a quick preliminary interview earlier this week, but just received the official invitation! School: University of Alabama Type: Clinical PhD Date of invite: 12/18/2020 Type of invite: Phone call from POI followed by an email confirmation Interview date(s): January 29 DM for POI: Yes

School: University of Alabama Type: Clinical PhD Date of invite: December 14 Type of invite: Preliminary phone interview today (unscheduled). I was told to expect a formal invitation soon. Interview date(s): January 29 DM for POI: Yes

School: University of Oregon Type: Counseling PhD Date of invite: December 14 Type of invite: Email from Program Director Interview date(s): January 29 DM for POI: Yes

Well, I know my boss definitely doesn't, so I don't think all PIs do. I'm not sure about the other people in the department, but I'll ask our grad students if they're around and see if they know!

My guess is relatively soon but I can ask my boss

They're still reviewing applications! The interview day will be March 6 though.

For the University of Michigan clinical psych invite, would you mind direct messaging me your POI? Thanks

UNM hasn't even met to review applications yet, so it'll definitely be a minute! I believe in the past they've extended interview invites end of January or early February and interview dates have been later in February.

Yeah, I totally agree. I think it was one of their undergrad office assistants though, so my assumption is probably they'll go out within the next week. I mostly just wanted to see if all of the invites had gone out haha.

For anyone waiting to hear from LSU, I just called them and was told that all of the invites haven't gone out yet and they'll continue sending them, but that we should hear within the next two weeks!!

If you have a septum piercing, depending on the kind of jewelry you wear in it, you can just flip it up into your nose while you're there so you don't have to take it out! That's what another one of the coordinators in my lab does on days she's meeting with study participants.

It looks like a lot of LSU invites have gone out but I cannot for the life of me tell if it's all of them. I emailed earlier this week but haven't gotten a response so I was contemplating calling them today to see if they can tell me if all of the invites have been extended.

Wear leggings/yoga pants/sweats on the plane and change into jeans either before you get off the plane or before you meet up with whomever is giving you a ride!

Same boat! Technically I only have one official rejection, but we all know how it feels to see interviews rolling in while your inbox remains empty. I'm vacillating wildly between getting over myself, studying to retake the GRE, focusing on publishing, and refining my research interests or completely changing everything and maybe applying to law school or international fellowships. It depends on the day!

I think it a suitcase is totally fine, but I wouldn't bring a massive one. Also I 100% recommend a steamer instead of an iron. It's faster, often more portable, and works with more fabrics.

.

I think at this point, it's totally reasonable to reach out to the department just to make sure, although given the proximity to the interview days, chances are good they're probably all out.

I think it really depends on the PI. For example, they may be uncertain about a candidate and want to do a call with them but they know for sure they already want to invite another candidate as well. Unfortunately, it's impossible to really know.
