Penn State - Child Track!!!!

As the acceptances continue to roll in and you are contemplating which school to choose, I thought it was time we had a thread of our final choices - that way we can celebrate each other and get in contact with our incoming cohort!

I'm sorry, but every school and every professor I have talked to has encouraged this sentiment; not to hold more than one offer at a time.
With internships you’re not allowed to hold onto more than one. For grad school it’s different, here is the policy: https://cudcp.wildapricot.org/Resources/Documents/CUDCP Policy on Graduate Program Offers and Acceptances (FULL version).pdf

This process is so grueling. Just unsure of what to make of all of the waitlists. I thought my interviews went well, but I guess just not well enough. Going to wait it out and really really hope something works out. For everyone accepted CONGRATULATIONS, but remember to only hold one offer at a time. Honestly y'all this is a hard process and I know we would all be fantastic clinicians and researchers so keep the hope and keep pushing on!
I know this process is anxiety inducing but stop spreading this falsehood. You’re allowed to hold onto all offers as you await to get your final stipend offer, if you haven’t visited the university yet, and a few other reasons.
This is your future don’t allow others dictate the choice for you.

The CUDCP guidelines say students shouldn’t hold more than two offers for more than a week. But yes, express your excitement and say you’re just waiting for some more info before you can make your final decision. Congrats!
Actually you’re allowed to hold onto more than two if you’re still waiting on stipend information, haven’t had a chance to visit the campus, and some other factors

Just got my first rejection this morning. I applied 24 schools and only got 1 interview. Only 7 of them haven't send out interview yet. While writing those down, I know that may be I will not be able to get into any school this year. I can still remember the recruiting season in 2018. Everyone were sharing the interview they got, and I wake up with a email saying "Thank you for your interest, but we are sorry that..." every day. I ended up with getting no job in 2018. It was really a nightmare for me.
May be the next few week will be the same. May be I ended up with having a debt over $3,000, spending all these time and effort but got no offer. But this time I do not feel bad about this. Not getting into any program isn't a really bad thing. I will have more time to explore what is academic, finish reading my list and journal in my home, gain more experience in industry, and may be even prepare my own paper, before entering a better program.
What make me feel bad, is a regret for my family, my friends and my professors. I know how lucky I am to have them support me. They helped me collect information about schools and sometimes keep discussing with me on this until 1 am in the morning (as December was busy season for my current job, I work until 9-10 pm). My professors are nice: submitted all the recommandation letter really quickly (1-2days after sending email request) and are always saying, "best wishes to your application!". I am thankful for all they have done for me. Getting a bad result makes me feel that I wasted their time and let them down. I don't know how to share this news to my professors, although I do really want to talk to them and see want can I do to improve myself in the future.
Feel free to give any advice about how to communicate the result with my family, my friends and my professors.
Hey!
this is my third year applying. I thought I was a solid choice my first year and it really took me hammering out my ideas over the past two years. Dm me if you want to talk more - I can give you my breakdowns and all that shit and advice I got! don’t give up hope, and if you can’t do it this year then another year!!

thank you guys for the advice, I will be cancelling! hopefully this helps someone out
Clinical psych is a really small field. To be extended the invites is a huge honor. To just not even go and meet the faculty member who invited you, their grad students, and learn more about the program is kinda rude. You could be excited about your first choice but can be surprised by other programs and what they have to offer. But so it goes I guess

Harvard
University of Utah

I took the practice test that’s available through ets to see what areas I needed to focus on. Then I skimmed an intro to psych book and paid attention to the sub areas I did bad on from the practice test - if you need I can email you a pdf of an excellent intro book.
