Just realized that for the next few months, my heart is going to skip like five beats when an unknown caller pops up on my phone screen! Extra skips if it's from an outside area code! Eeek

Whew, okay that is good news. Thanks for the reassurance!

I know one of my programs holds interviews on January 19th for their clinical program, so I'm assuming they would be sending out invites this month! And it's my top choice. But, on the bright side, I'll know very early if I didn't get in.

Thank you for the reassurance! I swear the more I look at my submitted materials the more anxious I get. I should probably stop ?

Just realized I accidentally misidentified a program as clinical psychology when it is really a clinical health psychology. Argh! I think that might be a kiss of death on my SOP! I hate that even proofreading doesn't seem to catch every mistake ?

@ResilientDreams Oh wow! I had no idea abroad credits didn't factor in overall. Interesting. No, they definitely won't think you are stupid. They have that job specifically for this reason. Like you said, better safe than sorry!

They were credits not factored into your GPA? Is that typical? I would say if they didn't factor into your overall GPA you are probably fine, but I'm not sure. It wouldn't hurt to check in with the grad admins. I have one grad admin I've checked in with multiple times about various concerns regarding the application process who is probably tired of seeing my email pop up lol! But that's what they are there for! Also obsessing over so many things...I don't know what to do with my anxiety these days besides obsessively obsess over all the application materials I've already submitted, haha

@PsychWannabee Awesome, definitely worth it to try, right?! Now to try and be patient while we wait for decisions lol

@PsychWannabee LFK and SD! And yours? LFK is def my top choice, but admittance to her lab seems unlikely as it is super competitive. Best of luck to you as well! You're applying to some amazing programs!

I've been lurking here for a while but figured I'd chime in with the programs I applied to! I haven't seen many mentions of them. They are all Clinical Child Psych PhD programs. - University of Oregon, University of Washington, Washington State University, CU Denver (Clinical Health Psych) My list is definitely geographically specific, and I'm nervous seeing that most applicants applied at 10 - 15 ? anticipating I'll need to apply next year as well! Any other infant mental health folks out there?!
