They've extended invites for interviews, but I'm not sure if they're completely done. Heard from my POI about a week and a half ago. Interview day is 02/21.

Hi heard back from a professor from Univ of Michigan. We're having a call tomorrow, she says it's not a formal interview, just a way of trading information b/c she would *love* to accept me, what does this really mean? And how should I prepare for this call?

Thank you all for your advice! It's pretty great and falls in line with the advice my former PI/mentor randomly emailed me yesterday lol.

I've been out of school for about two years and will be attending a Master's program in the fall, that includes a thesis and encourages research (as I'm sure most do). Ultimately, my plans are to pursue a Ph.D. in a field of Psychology, but the issue is that I don't have a clear idea of what field I'd like to go into. My primary background is in social psychology, but I have some interests in community psych. I have a few questions and would appreciate any feedback for any of them. Is there anything you did during the summer to prepare for the semester that was particularly helpful? Where can I find ideas for research for my thesis? I'm generally interested in lots of things and I'm hoping to find information about multiple topics to kind of formulate my own research interests. Lastly, is there anything I should be reading or reviewing to get myself back in the school spirit? Again, any help/advice will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Not much, I know a girl who is attending and her classes are in the evenings, normally 4-8pm and they were able to give her an assistantship. But unfortunately, I don't have a lot of details. Good luck with whatever school you choose!

Did you hear anything back from the question you posted on the website? I'm curious as I will be attending in the fall.
