  1. This is the first time i've heard about Campus Cruiser! Thanks so much!!!
  2. I'll be attending USC in the fall! How difficult will I be making my life if I don't have a car? I was just planning on living close(ish) to the health sciences campus next to a bus/train route. I'm not a very social person and figure paying for an occasional uber a few times a month will be less expensive than a car/parking/gas/insurance.
  3. I got into a PhD program without a master's degree! I was also concerned but during interviews, most of the professors stated that it wouldn't put me at a disadvantage. I also have a research background similar to yours.
  4. I thought it was helpful to have when I was interviewing with other professors who weren't my POI or in the department to help them quickly get to know me
  5. going off of this do you think it's ok to have my questions written out and with me during the interview?
  6. I was offered reimbursement when I was invited (health psych). My POI said they only have funds to cover air travel for selected candidates. I think/hope there is a strong possibility of getting reimbursed later. My travel costs are only going to be $200 so hopefully the other $200 is able to be applied to someone else?
  7. I am very forthright...PIs aren't looking to create a carbon copy of themselves/ a 100% match. Plus there is no benefit in not being honest. Otherwise, you get accepted in the lab and have to admit "actually...." In an interview I had, the POI actually expressed that she hopes she is able to learn and explore with me down my intended path
  8. I vote for the job that involves evaluations and intervention and training opportunities I feel like experience with running protocols is more valuable than clinical exposure
  9. I am clumsy and dropped my phone and the screen is cracked...not a spider web by any means just a hairline crack that runs like a hypotenuse tangent to the home button... I have a screen protector over it now but the bottom part of the crack that is not on the actual screen part of the phone catches the light/is noticeable since my phone is white Do you think this is something the admission's team will care about? I've put a lot of thought into how i'm presenting myself (i.e my suit) and don't want this to reflect badly on me... $149 is a chunk of change and i'd rather save the money if it's not a big deal?
  10. Apparently, it is quite common for professors to string along applicants like this... have even heard stories about people being told by professor not accept offers from any other schools after an interview and then waiting and end up not getting an offer!! I've been advised from grad students to not take anything verbal too seriously
  11. Yes! My status is still "under review" but considering their interview weekend supposedly is at the end of this month... it's just a little odd that I haven't heard about invites (besides the one person in the survey)
  12. do you think the funding issue translated to less invites this year
  13. I only know about Feinberg
  14. I heard from PI I work with at Northwestern that they have until Monday (1/15) to finish reviewing applications and then I assume invites will go out shortly after (sometime next week!)
  15. Hello! I am interested if anyone else applied to PhD programs concentrating in Health Psychology (non-clinical)? Or are currently in a program?
