Yup developmental

I applied to Duke and have been invited to the official 'virtual' interview weekend. Haven't heard anything at all from UMich though.

I initially heard from Duke like two weeks after applying, but this morning my POI invited me to the official interview weekend! However he did tell me that more info from the department won't be released until later this week.

It was from the POI only, haven't gotten an official email from the dept. yet!

Ditto, good luck!

check out SHESC at ASU!

Congrats! I applied to Michigan, haven't heard yet

I realize this thread is pretty quiet but I figured it might be helpful to keep updating it. So far I have received official recruitment weekend invites from BC and UT-Austin, and I had informal interviews with Duke and Brown. Anyone heard from UVA?

School: University of California-San Diego Type: PhD Date of Invite: 12/17/20 Type of invite: Official Open House Interviews Interview Date: February 3-5

I have an interview with UT-Austin psychology this week. I'm not sure what stage it really is though! I guess these virtual interviews always happen before the big, in-person, fly you out for the weekend, ones?

What school? Just curious

Awww thank you! This reply made me so happy because UMich is the only school that hasn't made the GRE optional! I am not going to retake it, will just hope that the strength of the rest of my application is enough to compensate!

Hey guya! Question, would you send in your scores if you were me? The vast majority of schools I am applying to have made it optional. I got a 167V and a 152Q. I don't know my essay score yet. I really just panicked during the quant section and had a rough time. I have As in all my statistics classes, which I don't want to be undermined by my shitty quant score. Thoughts? I have really good stats aside from this and am worried about being screened out...

Hi everyone! I’m a lab manager for a dev psych lab and I’m trying to make some major decisions about where to live for the rest of the year. Pre-covid, I was living near the university I work for, but then I moved back in with my family several states away since I was working from home. Living with my family has become pretty claustrophobic for me. I really would like to sublet a place somewhere else. However, I don’t have a support system near my university and will be very lonely. I only want to go back if we are resuming in person testing, which could happen if museums and daycares allow us back. But it’s all just a huge unknown. I’m nervous to get a sublease somewhere close to home only to be summoned back to my university. Then I’d be strapped with two rents, eek! I’m curious what you guys think. Do you think in person testing with kids will be a thing at all this year?

Hi! I am a lab manager planning on applying to dev psych programs this fall as well. Here is my list: Brown, UTAustin, UMich, Boston College, UMinnesota, Duke, Harvard, Yale, NYU, UC Berkeley. I have not taken the GRE yet, which is super annoying. I was studying really hard and had planned on taking it on April 13th. Then everything went to shit...my study plan got majorly derailed. I lost motivation honestly. I started wondering if programs would even be accepting grad students this fall (and honestly I still am). I also was faced with possibly losing my job, and went into a major existential crisis. Things are better now and I've calmed down a bit. I am working remotely and living with my parents far away from the university I was employed at, which certainly isn't how I envisioned 2020, but at least I'm saving money. I do still feel pretty overwhelmed though. Work has been really busy, I'm currently developing three different studies. I feel like there's so many grad school related things I should be doing. Have you reached out to advisors yet? I haven't...my PI advised me that profs are dealing with a ton of stress and uncertainty right now, so it might not be the best idea. I haven't started working on my personal statement(s) either yet, which is giving me major anxiety. I also want to submit the NSF GRFP...so much to do and so little time! Feel free to message me...happy to freak out together, or maybe we can calm each other down a bit.
