Boston got a really bad snowstorm this past week, so that might have put a delay into some of their operations. Are you asking about Clinical or Counseling? I have a mentor who works in Counseling that I'm happy to ask about interviews status if anyone applied there.
Can confirm: I was snowed most of the weekend and my professor got her flight into Boston-Logan cancelled. The city is pretty frozen right now so I'd be patient!

Hi, I am new here! I have been reading all of the posts with anticipation and was wondering if anyone has heard from these schools (non-clinical programs)?
1. Tufts
2. Boston College
3. Cornell
Hi! I didn't apply to any of these programs, but I am currently in the MA program at Tufts and have had a great experience. If you have any questions about it feel free to DM me!

Congrats to everyone hearing back from UF! I didn't get an email so I'm assuming rejection...oh well!

In the same boat as you-hoping for good news for the both of us!

Received a mass e-mail. Interestingly, the e-mail specifies a specific faculty member who I "seem to be an excellent fit to work with" but who is not either of the two faculty members I mentioned in my application or wrote about in my Statement of Purpose. I'll DM you the initials of the POI's I hope to work with / the one I'll be interviewing with.
Could you DM me as well? Thanks! Also, what area did you apply to?
-
Also: is there anyone who applied to University of Miami's Pediatric Health Clinical who has heard? Slash knows when we will hear?? I keep seeing people with interviews from Miami and am freaking out over here.

Has anyone heard from Florida yet?
I received an email around the time applications were due (had a snafu with one of my transcripts) and the department admin said we would know if we got an interview by the 21st. Tracking previous years on the Results page, it looks like we should hear in the next couple of days. (Not sure what program you applied to, but I applied to Clinical Child Health track). Anxiously checking my email!

To the person who got an interview from Miami, could you please DM me the POI's initials? Thank you!!

It has been a hot minute since I checked in here...happy to see people progressing on their applications!
I spent September studying for and taking the GRE Psychology subject test and retaking the GRE General test. My standard GRE scores weren't as good as the ones I took two years ago (when I applied to Master's programs), so I sent my initial scores off to schools (157 V, 155 Q, 4.0 AW). I'm still waiting to hear back my Psychology scores, since it was a written test and those take longer, but I felt good about it!
I also narrowed down my schools that I'm applying to: University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, University of Washington, Loyola University Chicago, University of Texas-Austin, Boston University, University of Florida, and University of Miami. All of those are clinical programs, except for UT, which is a school program. I emailed and heard back from PIs at 3 of the schools when I was unsure about whether they were accepting students, so my name is out there! If anyone has any insight to these programs or is applying there as well, feel free to reach out.
My plan is to spend October revising my personal statement, nailing down my 3rd recommendation letter (the other two are luckily locked down), and sending off transcripts. I am SHOCKED that some people already have applications submitted-I still think I'm a month out from having anything fully submitted. The second year of my Master's is proving to be much challenging than the first (currently juggling two research labs, my thesis, a class, and applications)! Anyways, best of luck to everyone!!

I also studied for the gre while working full time...it can be a lot. I used the Kaplan book to study, which I found helpful. I set aside entire days or several hours to devote to gre studying. What I think helped me the most was taking several full-length practice tests. I got diagnostic results from those and worked on the areas that needed improvement in between.
From my first time taking to test to the second, I ended up bringing my scores from 60th to 80th percentile in verbal, 32nd to 41st percentile in quantitative, and 56th to 83rd percentile in writing! I've been accepted into one of my top programs and I'm beginning this fall
Thanks for the tips! Do you mind my asking how far in advance of the test you started studying?

I've officially narrowed down the schools I am applying to this fall! Let me know if anyone has info on these programs:
Texas A&M; UT Southwestern; Alabama-Birmingham; Washington; Miami; Loyola Chicago; UT-Austin; Vanderbilt; Boston University; Florida; Georgia; Nebraska-Lincoln; Maryland-Baltimore County
Now I'm focusing on preparing to retake the GRE later this summer...any tips on how to do that while working a full-time job and preparing a master's thesis would be welcome! ?
-
Is anyone else considering retaking the GRE? I'm trying to decide if I should. I took it two years ago when I applied to Master's programs and did pretty well (157 V 155 Q 4.0 AW) but as I'm researching average scores for the programs I'm interested in, I'm noticing that they're all a few points higher than mine. I've talked to a couple other grad students and they retook it but did the same/a little worse, so I'm concerned about wasting my money and time on something that may not pay off. Is anyone else doing this or has anyone else done this? Help!!

I'll be attending Harvard as a Ph.D. student in the fall, and I'm a bit lost when it comes to finding apartments. I know that most of the leases start on September 1st, but my program requires us to be in the area for orientation on August 23rd. Because of a job commitment this summer, I won't be able to move until around August 15th, and I'd rather not pay for all of August if possible (though I could if necessary). I also have seen that August 1st leases aren't nearly as common as September 1st ones, which would make me even more hesitant to do that since I don't want to be living somewhere for a year just because it was one of the few okay options available.
Any advice? Would trying to do Airbnb or something from August 15th - September 1st even be worth it? Would that even work out well in terms of actually moving (I plan on buying most of my stuff other than clothes once I'm there since I don't have all that much non-clothing stuff to begin with).
Hey there-I would recommend getting an Airbnb/hotel room/crashing on a friend's couch for the time that you are here in August. I ran into the same issue when I moved here last year. Since there are so many universities in the Boston area the vast majority of apartments are on a September 1st start date. If you can find a place to sublease for those couple weeks that's another option?
As for moving-I'm not sure how far away you're coming from, but when I moved here from Texas last year I brought only my essentials (i.e. toiletries, some clothes I needed for orientation/downtime) for the time I was there in August, and then arranged for all my other stuff to arrive at my apartment on 9/1. Sounds like you won't have a lot of nonclothing to deal with so that may be easier for you than it was for me!

This is hilarious - I'm currently living in Texas (my home state) but desperately want to get back to Boston (where I did my undergrad). We should just switch ?
That is too funny! I really like Boston, but I CANNOT deal with the winters. Hopefully we both get what we want this application season!

hey there, I interviewed and was accepted to Auburn, one big thing that was pretty crummy at AU was the lack of child placements and externships. If you're wanting to work in child psych, I would really think twice of applying there. In the group interview with students, there were a few students applying for the child track and every student there said that the program was "working on adding more clinical placements". Hopefully some food for thought.
I ended up not accepting the program but it was really a lovely school and the program seemed very strong, just some exposure might be missed if you go there (it really is in the middle of no where Alabama).
Thanks for the info! That's good to know going forward. Everything I read on their website looked good, and there's a POI there whose research I find really exciting, but if there's not many clinical opportunities involving children I may rethink applying there.

Hi all! Glad there are other people out there already thinking about the application process. Most of the other people in my program (I'm currently getting my MA in Child Development) are going straight into practice once we're done, so it's nice to know I'm not alone.
I'm interested in mostly clinical psychology programs, and my research interests lie in the area of pediatric psychology.
Some of the schools I'm looking at are:
- Auburn University
- University of Florida
- Oklahoma State University
- UT Southwestern Medical Center
- University of Texas at Austin (this is a school psychology program, because that's where their ped psych person is)
As you can see, I'm aiming to attend school in the South. I currently live near Boston and I'm sick of the weather! I'd love to return home to Texas, but I don't think I can afford to make my applications THAT narrow...
Looking forward to navigating this application season with y'all!
Really not looking good for a couple other schools as well. Trying to stay optimistic, as there are 3 more that I haven't heard from, but hard not to feel pessimistic at this point...

Has anyone heard from UT-Austin's school psych program?
