Well, it should be a good sign even though I did two interviews with other schools and have not got any news from them yet. Better than nothing I guess. Apparently, NEU did not consider me as a "potential student," I hope you are. Good luck.

Congratulations! Never lose hope. I am really happy that you got in. Wish luck.

Nope, I am an international student.

Rejection from Northeastern. I did not get mail yet, I just checked it online. Decision available it says.

0a/0w/1r/7p so you are not alone

Is there any one who applied to security studies? Which school?

I feel I will not hear any news in this week again. One more week to wait?

Thank you very much for your helpful comments. As you said, she will not practice her job in the US in any case because of the visa. So what I am more concerned about is whether she would be able to develop her skill in the US despite not to go to Ph.D. studies. I feel I am selfish and trying to convince her for my own purpose, which I do not want to be and this makes me sad. I know that even a short experience (Voluntary-Certificate- as a guest in a lab- taking courses- doing research etc) about psych would be a great considering how US experience important in my country(developing country) when we returned to the home (I lived two years in the US previously). Would it be possible is the question. Would she be able to develop her skills and learn things that are important to her career? I know some friends who are currently doing their Ph.D. in US universities, and after one year preparation of GRE/TOEFL, their wives also start their Ph.D. in the same school or nearby. However, in my case, she does not want to do Ph.D. now, but she does have a plan to do Ph.D. in the future. Her professors also encourage her to aim Ph.D. I do not want to be seen as a person "I know best for you," but I really do not know what to do.

Hi guys, I know that this page is not for general information about Clinical Psych, but I think you still can help me. I have applied for political science PhD programs in the US. I am planning to marry with a clinical Psychologist and come to the US together. She is currently a master student in Clinical Psyc program in my country while working as a psychologist in an institution. So, I am struggling to convince her for coming with me in case of acceptance from a US university. She -at least for now- is not interested in Ph.D. program, instead, she wants to work in the field. And because of visa F1-F2, she cannot work in the US. I tell her even if you do not want to do Ph.D., you still have chances to work with professors in their laboratory, or you still can find certificate programs, which are vital in Psych. Am I wrong or too optimist? I have known other fields that if a student wants to work or attend a professor's courses, the professor would not refuse if she is qualified and eager to learn. She does not want to lose her job in our country, but I do not want to come to the US without her. I know it would be great if she has some experience in the US as a Psychologist, and when we return she will find a much better job in our country. However, she is not sure about it. The question is what can a clinical psychologist do in the US without doing PhD? She took several certificates in my country and she is planning to take more certificates in the future. Are they expensive in the US? If so, how much, for example? As a PhD student in a US university, can I introduce my wife to the Psych department and ask if they can help her, or if she can attend professors' under or grad courses? I really need to hear your views. Thank you and good luck with your application. Wish me luck too

Other than interviews, I have not started yet, meaning that I may wait for a month maybe? Waiting has been really painful, I did not expect it to be so difficult.

So, apparently, we will not hear anything from Northeastern in this week.

Thank you, I appreciate for your help/answers.

Folks, those who have GRE 170/170 and still not admitted? I feel sorry for you. (I know I know GRE is not everything but still...)

My friend also told me about the new policy in the department about early acceptances. Well, I hope you, early accepted, have much better offers. If so, please help us to get in. Thank you

Thanks.

Hi, When did you get your offer from Binghamton? Did they interview you? Are you going to visit the school? Did they tell anything regarding application? I did my interview and am waiting for an answer. Binghamton is a great fit for me and I am hopeful about decision. It seems as a friend wrote in this forum, they will continue to send acceptance/rejection after visit day. Good luck.

Thank you for information. Q: If a POI wants an applicant to be admitted despite his or her moderate GRE/GPA/TOEFL etc..., how does adcomm respond the professor's demand?

Hi, I know that you posted it in 2013, but are you still in UCF- Security Studies? May I ask how much is the stipend in UCF? Is it really "great financial package"

UIUC or UIC?

Is there anyone applied for Northeastern? Any news?

Thanks for the info. At least, I now know not to wait until March.

I also heard that they will accept a few, which is not a good news. Do you know when the visit day is? Or is there any specific visit day?

Similarity, I did an interview with Binghamton and waiting for a good news while some got admittance/rejection already. And yes "it is utterly depressing"

Do we expect any acceptance/rejection on a weekend?

Congrats! those who accepted by his or her dream school. In such a case, do you reject other offers immediately? Which schools' offer probably will you decline? When is it appropriate to reject offer?
