  1. I applied to DePaul Clinical-Community Psychology. Applied last year to their Community Psychology department and went to interview day. I found out that they do not encourage their Community Psych students to work with the Clinical-Community faculty, which was the reason I switched over this year.
  2. Just got my reject email from UChicago. So bummed.
  3. I have worked with the new UChicago SSA dean and she is absolutely wonderful as a collaborator. I have no idea about her skills as a dean, but I do know there was some controversy because she does not have her PhD in Social Work. Also @wonderingcosmo glad to hear you got into a good school (Columbia) and are turning down UChicago because I am still waiting to hear about my application!!
  4. I just saw on the results tracker that three people have received acceptances from the University of Chicago. They are my top choice school and I have good relationships there so expect I would at least receive a waitlist decision. I'm crossing my fingers that someone is just very busy and hasn't gotten around to calling me since results seem to have initially gone out via phone calls on 2/6/19. So much anxiety...
  5. I received an invitation to interview for the DePaul Community Psychology program on February 4! It's nice to have something to prepare for so I don't just get anxiety building up as I don't expect to hear back from UChicago SSA or UChicago Social Sciences until the second week of February.
  6. I applied to the Social Work Am/PhD at UChicago where I currently work and two other non-Social Work programs in the city. Good luck to all!
  7. It's exciting to read about everyone else's search! Programs of Interest: PhD Community Psych/Developmental Psych/Social Work/Human Development/Social-Urban Policy (A little broad - my interests center on the impacts of housing instability and community violence on adolescent development) Schools I'm Applying to: UChicago (Social Work & Hum Dev); Loyola (Dev Psych); Northwestern (Hum Dev/Social Policy); UIC (Urban Planning/Policy & Comm Psych); DePaul (Comm Psych) Not considering schools outside of Chicago which is limiting but I wouldn't be happy moving. If you know of other programs I might have overlooked please let me know! Worried About: Funding - I like the programs at UIC and DePaul, but they offer minimal funding and I refuse to take out loans. GRE Quant Score - studying pretty hard, but I'm really abysmal at mathematical reasoning. Undergrad in unrelated Soc Sci discipline from a school better known for STEM and architecture. Not Worried About: 1 year research experience as an internal evaluator for a major OST provider and 1.5 years as a research assistant at a UChicago affiliated policy research center. One in press book chapter, two low-scoring journal pubs, one in prep journal pub, lots of reports for lots of different funders mostly in my areas of interest, lots of invited presentations. Lots of undergrad awards. 3.75 gpa. Great letters of rec.
