  1. For those who applied to UW-Madison's Developmental Psychology PhD program and still haven't heard anything - I emailed admissions to ask for an update. They replied with essentially a non-update (always the worst) saying that some faculty have started interviewing and some are still reviewing applications. I applied to SP and was told they have conducted some interviews but haven't finished going through applications.

     

    Thought I'd pass it along for whatever it's worth :)

    Congrats to everyone receiving early interviews! I can't help but consistently check the page for any of the schools I've applied to and not receiving interviews yet :( I feel like I am being harsh on myself but ughh I'm so anxious!! 

    If it's at all reassuring, last year I received interview invites for 6 clinical psych phd programs ranging from December 26-January 22! I also know that due to the increased number of applicants this year that things may be taking longer (inside scoop from a clinical psych phd faculty). I recommend not being too harsh on yourself - it's quite early yet :)❤️

    Hi all!

    I'm applying this cycle. First time applicant; I'm quite nervous! I'm fully expecting to get rejected from every program just because of the competitiveness of these applications. I'm looking for balanced programs w/ emphasis on clinical and research. So far I plan on applying to Drexel, Northwestern Feinberg, University of Maine, UConn, Fordham, UF, and others. Taking my GRE in July (fingers crossed)! I have reached out to one POI so far with no response so I'm thinking I'll wait a bit until emailing other POIs. I'm applying to as many research coordinator positions as possible but a lot of places are unsure if they will be able to actually hire applications. It's all a mess right now! 

    I know some schools are removing the GRE as a requirement, which is crazy. 

    Hopefully everything goes smoothly for us applicants!!

    I actually spoke with a faculty about the GRE situation - they said while many schools are starting to remove the requirement, the faculty still like to see the scores. They told me that a sneaky way to still report your scores is to add them to your CV under schools/GPA. Just a tip I thought I'd share! :)

  4. Third time is (hopefully) the charm?! I applied a few years ago and was only accepted into a MS program (which I accepted and loved). Applied this last round to 12 schools (all PhD), received 6 interviews, 2 waitlists, but sadly no offers.

    I will be very curious to see how COVID impacts interviews - think they’ll be held virtually? That would certainly be kinder to our bank accounts..
