    I know someone who got an offer last week for the 'Forensic' track. The person interviewed in early December.

    For the reasons @Hk328 mentioned above, esp. the uncertainty regarding internship. Definitely a gamble with my career I wasn’t going to make.

    @humanisticPOV posted a beautiful response to feelings of failure/inadequacy/self-doubt on the General Psychology thread (wish I could just link it here lol). Was ETSU your top choice? I know this feeling all too well- Trust me, I've been there! Rejected from my top choice, TWICE! This 3rd time around: Offered an invite! An unofficial one, at that, because my POI was so impressed with my work/experiences/etc, they met and interviewed me informally before the application round. It was insane and unexpected. After some time (and healing!), I think my biggest take away from this brutal process is that we all need to develop a different relationship/approach to rejections. This isn't the first time or the last time we will be experiencing rejections, unfortunately. Once you are accepted (whether this application or the next!), we will all be here again for internship applications. And for some of us, post-doc applications. And rejections will happen again and again (I've heard some of my colleagues- who are providers at my clinic, state that internship rejections suck even more, lol). Find comfort in knowing that there are a lot of us who've been there before. This too shall pass! ❤️

    +1. This is so important.

    I considered applying to a couple of programs that were in the "process" of accreditation (like OHSU), and my director/PIs/mentors immediately said "Absolutely not." If you do not get any more interviews this application period, I would strongly recommend for you to think about the implications of this important decision. I've read in other doctoral-level forums that this limits your options in so many ways you can't even imagine, and by the time you graduate, you may mostly likely look back and regret this decision (vs. waiting to apply the next application round). Many employers (state hospitals, private hospitals, VAs, government-funded jobs, etc) will not hire individuals who did not graduate from APA-accredited programs. This will also affect insurance reimbursements, liability, etc. Also, the type of "license" you receive will most likely require some type of supervision, even after graduation from this type of program, and you should begin thinking about what agencies would be willing to supervise/commit to your training. I recommend you to check out SDN and get perspective from experts in the field, I'm pretty active on that forum and have seen this type of concern raised on there in the past. Best of luck to you!

    Depends how you applied. I heard back within days for my current position (Coordinator), but this was because I was already in conversations with the PI via e-mail for several weeks prior to applying. Usually, if you applied through a university's job portal, anywhere from 2-4 weeks is the norm. If you haven't heard anything 4-6 weeks after you applied, it's safe to e-mail and inquire about your status.

    For anyone who was obsessively checking/waiting on Houston: They have sent all of their invites out!

    Looks like I'm out of the running for Houston, good luck to you all!

    "It is never too late to be what you might have been" - G. Eliot In those 5-6 years, you will be doing/working/devoting yourself towards something you absolutely love. Good luck to you as well!! ❤️

    I cringe when I re-read my 1st/2nd app round SOPs. I didn't know what the hell I was talking about.. LOL. Even though I landed several phone interviews, my thoughts were all over the place/too broad. It took the current lab/group of PIs/mentors I'm working for now to bring all of this to my attention! You don't know what you don't know, whew... Humbling experiences, for sure.

    I am 5+ years older than the "cohort" of applicants in the research lab I'm working in (they're 21-23? Recent grads, pretty young, both from a maturity aspect and professionally) and can sympathize with the both of you. I however have real life experience and 4+ years in this clinical research field that they do not, so it gives me a bit of a confidence booster that my application materials were much stronger in this aspect. I don't let this get to me whatsoever. Also, this being my 3rd app round, I feel my experiences have truly narrowed down my interests and I know what I want to do with my career, for the rest of my life. This helped me create very strong SOPs this app round vs. the disastrous mess I submitted the last 2 rounds (I was so naive lol). You can learn a lot from rejections.. it's all about how you respond & persevere

    Every day..... goes by...... so slow......... lmao this is so awful
  15. xxxxxxxxxx
    <333333333 The process continues to kicks my a$$ but I'm trying to not cry at every given hour. LOL

    I'm sorry to hear this was the case for you. It's a combination of stats (your scores), your research experience, your statement of purpose (Was it clear?), your networking skills, and your recommendations (Were they strong?). One of these had to be lacking. I'm more than happy to chat with you through a PM about my experience. Don't give up.

    General PSA: To the people posting anonymously on TGC Results page and choosing to not private message any folks on here with any slight details about the invites/initials of PI's or even politely/respectfully declining all together to inform people about PIs/the invite (which you have complete right to do so): It almost (strongly) feels like your decision to post your invite was a self-serving, narcissistic, pissing-contest move LMAO #confused
  18. xxxxxxxxxx
    My day's $h!t already, not knowing about Houston! LMAO. Just reject me already and let me KNOW! Want this week to be OVER WITH wahhhhhh erjt34hitota
  19. xxxxxxxxxx
    If you're seeing invites on the TGC results page for schools you applied to, and you haven't heard anything ~2 weeks before the scheduled interview dates, it's safe to assume rejection. So most likely by mid January, if the schools you applied to have interviews between 2/1-2/5. I've been in your position before, it sucks. You take the L, become more competitive, and increase your chances for the next application round (If you decide this is truly the career path you'd like to take).

    ME FOUR. Gees. What a slow, painful death lmao. If any of y'all hear something re: Houston, let me know- I'll keep yallz in the loop as well
  21. xxxxxxxxxx
    Watching the Houston invites come through like............
  22. xxxxxxxxxx
    No? LOL. If you got an e-mail with that information, then that's great news for you! Haven't heard ANYTHING from Houston ?
  23. xxxxxxxxxx
    Do not e-mail your PI. May come off as inappropriate/impatient/pushy. If you really cannot wait any longer, a polite e-mail to the program coordinator regarding the status of all invites would be more appropriate.
  24. xxxxxxxxxx
    This x1000000. *EYEROLL* at the mansplaining and insensitivity. Imagine if women on here began to express worries about other, equally important topics (I.e., wearing marriage/engagement rings; or even hair concerns, especially for WOC). Gees.
  25. xxxxxxxxxx
    LMAO. Listen. I am looking. And, through my careful perusing (stalking), I also have made some connections of peeps who have their multiple invites “listed” on their signatures and then peeps who are asking about POIs for these specific schools in multiple threads... I’m just like, whut ? $h!t is outta control at this point. We are all nervous wrecks ????
