    Hi I am in the UAlbany PHD program so if anyone there has been waitlisted or has questions feel free to reach out if you want and best of luck as I know this can be stressful time

    I contacted a professor and she told me after the deadline she was not taking students. I imagine they still saw my application though so I am not sure if it is worth it or not sadly.

    Well I heard from a program that I applied too from the last couple of years tell me they have no concerns over their PHD students getting an applied job but worry about their master students getting one. If it's worth it depends on if you are willing to give up 2 to 3 years of working salaries to do research on a cheap salary. So it's up to you on that regard.

    Your My Quant Score was basically that and I did not feel it held me back.

    Well the first question is do you have any interest in doing research. I am at a pretty industry focused PhD program but even the industry people are working on 3-5 research projects at a time. So if the answer is you don't like research a more applied masters program could be a good fit. From what I hear it's easier to get your foot in the door at a good company with a PhD but the downside is it takes an extra 2 or 3 year of being in school which can be time building up work experience. Generally PhD holder start earning more than master after the first 5 or so years but it's not easy to get one so it's really a question about how much you want to do research.

    Hi good luck it's a tough process! A) In terms of reaching out to professors, it's really a crap shoot. I have done this process twice and have sent probably 20 emails and gotten a response of 10. It's a busy job so of course, it makes sense. I think the most important thing is them telling you if they are taking students or not. I have had professors email me after I applied that I am not taking students this year ? b ) I have apply to some of those schools on this list and can tell it can be quite deflating seeing the number of people applying! I think the big thing is just finding out which professor there are taking students early on.

    It's your life so you should do what makes you happy. Your happiness trumps some burnt bridges.

    Don't worry too much on those. A GPA that high will at least open the door to a lot of programs so they can see the rest of your profile.
  9. Joegeo
    Congrats I imagine the initial shock when you saw the email/phone call!
  10. Joegeo
    The program should tell you by tomorrow if you are rejected or still on the waitlist. You can still be accepted after the 15th if the people in front of you decline.
  11. Joegeo
    Congratulations!

    Hi, This is my second round but in theory, I did worse this round (only 1 acceptance) than last year (multiple) but I am much happier with the program I picked this year. So not sure how much help I can be but I will be worried about the funding situation at FIT. I can't speak about the program (though I had one teacher from the school) but a PHD is not worth going into major debt.
  13. Joegeo
    The deadline for funded admissions is April 15 but there is sometimes some leeway. Also I don't see any harm in contacting the schools. If you have another competitive offer you can always tell them you have an offer you like but still want to wait to hear from the waitlist schools first.

    Bumping up for 2019, any tips for housing near uptown campus?

    Congrats! I went there for my Masters and they are a very dedicated I/O school.
  16. Joegeo
    Congratulations! That is the biggest sigh of relief during the whole process.

    On Clemson I got rejected by them last year on April 15th so it seems they like to take their sweet time. So sadly if you have not heard from them yet that is a rejection.
  18. Joegeo
    I remembered to check Georgia Tech's application website and saw I was rejected last week. Neat!
  19. Joegeo
    I mean clinical psych has a bigger pool of applicants than I/O psych but there are also a lot more of the programs for the former than the latter. So I guess you can say it's easier to get to the top of the pile in I/O but it's not easy in general.
  20. Joegeo
    How is the funding for both situation?
  21. Joegeo
    I can only imagine the stress. If it helps I think next week people will start making their final decisions at least in my experience so try hanging in there and remember you only need 1 yes!
  22. Joegeo
    Just tell them that while you understand their situation you have to make the best choice for yourself and you don't have all the information needed to make that choice yet. If they pester you a lot that could maybe be a red flag about working with that POI. Just something to consider.
  23. Joegeo
    Yea that does suck. Hopefully, your accepted offers at least puts some ease to you during this stressful time!
  24. Joegeo
    Congrats that is a great program!

    Well I accidentally lost my old SOP due to being careless so I had to rewrite mine haha. Hopefully, in the extra year, you can put new stuff in your SOP (more diverse experiences more lab stuff) to make your statement a bit strong. I know my new SOP was much more focus in terms of what research I have done and what I want to do in the future.
