Hi all! I recently accepted an offer for the PhD program in social psychology at Boston College. I'm looking for any and all advice about what to expect for the surrounding area and am open to tips about best places to search for an apartment/room. I am moving from Los Angeles (most likely in August). Thank you!

I am pretty sure UC Irvine has already sent their invites/had their interview days. I don't know for sure though - I have seen a few results searches that indicate that is true. A friend of mine (from my MA cohort) had an informal Skype interview with someone from Tufts.

I just heard from Brown. I've been wait-listed. They have sent all of their offers of invitations and have rejected people who did not make the second cut. Hope this helps anyone else!

@statisticalsleuth Well, that's a bummer (on my end!). But congrats for hearing from Cornell! Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am in the waiting period for some PhD programs in social psych, but have heard back from quite a few. I am just about to finish my master's degree. Here are some personal stats: 4.0 grad school GPA; 3.55 undergrad GPA GRE V/Q/W = 160/159/5.0 2.5 years research experience in two labs; great letters of rec (I only know this because a few people who interviewed me told me to make sure I thanked my letter writers) 2 publications (1 is first-authored); 2 papers under review (1 is first-authored) 2 semesters TAing methods and stats classes; 2 semesters tutoring stats; 1 semester working as a data analyst I have had informal Skype interviews with POIs at Penn State, Brown University, Boston College, UNC Chapel Hill, Ohio University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Illinois at Chicago, and Florida State University. I have been invited for in-person interviews to all of the above but Urbana-Champaign and Brown University. Does anyone else know what's going on at Brown? I have seen some people post that they have been invited for in-person interviews there, and others post that they were informed they were rejected after Skype interviews. I haven't heard anything since my Skype meetings. I also applied to UC Irvine, University of Utah (Organizational Management), Northwestern Kellogg School of Management (Management), University of Chicago Booth School of Business (Behavior Science), Harvard, and Cornell. Anyone hear from any of these places? I hope this helps!
