[Can anyone correct me on any of these programs I've found are NOT funded?]

University of Kansas does not guarantee funding for 5 years per se, BUT they commit to funding for 5 years. The way it was explained to me was that unless there was some type of funding crisis (like the department losing all of its funding or something like that), students receive funding for their 5 years- the just don't want to use the word guarentee just in case such a crisis does happen (which is incredibly unlikely). To the best of my knowledge no student has ever been left without funding.

To the KU poster, was the email a mass email? 

 

Thanks!

Hi! I was notified I was selected for phone interview in a generic email. I was interviewed via phone by 2 professors approximately two weeks ago, and accepted 2/1 via email from the program director.

[Those who have received interviews, what made you stand out?]

I've received two phone interviews so far (my focus is social psychology). In one, my POI mentioned that my publication record was impressive. I've co-authored several papers as an undergrad. I also have a very good GPA and decent GRE's, which I imagine helped.
