DevSci

Haven't heard back yet. I interviewed on 2/25 but they had a second interview date on 3/1 so it has only been a few days.

Thanks for this! Happy for you!! ?

UMD is the only school I haven't heard from yet. I assumed rejection, but not sure. UC Irvine's interview across all specialties was early January. They had 42 interviewees for ~15 slots, so probably safe to take it off your list, unfortunately! ?

Very cool! I am excited to meet her - I have seen her a few videos of her talking about her work and I can tell she is so passionate about it.

Just got an informal acceptance to WSU! My University of Denver POI also just emailed me and said she had exciting news (we skyped in Dec) and wanted to talk this afternoon. I can't imagine it would be an acceptance, but since I already did at least a preliminary interview, maybe an in-person?? Excited. My signature includes all the school I applied to/have heard from. Sounds like a lot of them aren't matching up with y'all ( @mhassa17, @FlowerdanceShirley, @ResilientDreams)

UCI's interview weekend for the Dev Psych program is this upcoming week (11/13-11/14). Not sure if it is the same for all psych depts (would assume not) but I can try to get a feel when I'm there!

Chapel Hill or elsewhere?

Congrats!

@hopefulgrad2019 and @spookycat I have a phone interview on Friday with WSU. That being said, I applied to the Prevention Science PhD program and the faculty I applied to work with was also one of my LoR writers, so I'm sure this is a little different. He did tell me the week of Dec 31 that they just started funneling applications to POIs.

FOR SURE go into it as if it were a first round interview (prep for it and have questions ready!). This is pretty normal.

Shoot, sorry to hear, @mhassa17 ! Maybe the others will reach out! Crossing my fingers for ya!

UMN doesn’t interview. Source: went there’s for undergrad and 2 LoRs are from there.

Yes! NW!

TG are initials for GMU.

I am not. I graduated in 2015 and have been working full time in relevant fields.

AHH! And Boston University (a top choice of mine)!! Great day!!!

Hi all, just got a call from POI extending interview (Feb 15) at George Mason University -- anyone else apply here?

University of Denver is reviewing apps -- got an email to set up a video chat with POI tonight, FYI!

Where did you all apply? And welcome!

Who did you apply to work with at the University of Minnesota? I went to undergrad there! ?

Yes, it is!

RIGHT!? I thought the same thing. So no, the situation was that the POI who texted me was initially assigned to invite me to the interview, but the professor who called me told me that she texted said POI asking if she could be the one to call me instead. So no call with the POI who texted me. I know, very confusing, but either way I am thrilled!!

I'm sure it highly depends on the program to which you applied. The Developmental Psych professor who called me said they had a list of students and they had ~5 faculty who were each assigned to a subset of that list. I am not sure if that's how they do it across programs!

UPDATE: Crazy timing, just 5 mins after posing, I got a call from UCI -- they explained the situation and invited me to the interview on Jan 13-14. ?
