hi has anyone heard when the University at Buffalo will be sending admission decisions (for the school psych/counseling psych program)?

I know someone who heard back today from them! So I’m thinking they might have started today and possibly go through Monday?

So one of my interviews...there is a hike on Saturday morning. I am super stoked for this, but at a loss for attire. I normally wear yoga pants and a loose tshirt when I workout...but I'm wondering if that is too casual or inappropriate...maybe some loose pants (that aren't yoga pants). Any suggestions? 

Also, for the socials, would it be best to wear slacks and a jacket? Or go a little more casual for the social? Most of mine have socials the evening before the interviews, so I don't want to be under dressed because this is the first impression!

Thanks

UNL had two socials and almost everyone just wore a nice blouse/top and dark jeans - and even then, the applicants were dressier than the current students. I brought my blazer just in case but no one else wore one so we were good.

I received an interview to the University of Arizona as well!! I currently go to U of A as an undergrad so I would be happy to answer any questions about the whether, places to stay, etc. Just message me!

Ahh congrats! My interviews with UB and Arizona actually conflict with each other so I requested a teleconference interview, but thank you so much for the offer! I will certainly reach out with questions of mine!

[Fall 2019 School Psych Interview Invites]

Oops, should have posted on this thread instead of the other one! I applied to UNL, University of Arizona, UMD, and UB. I have interviews with UNL and U of A, haven't heard from UMD yet and I know UB does not review applications until later and their interviews are at the end of the month. Congrats to everyone who has received interviews so far!

Anyone hear back from University of Maryland yet? I've heard back from UNL and University of Arizona (got interviews with both!) and I know UB does not review applications until later and their interviews are at the end of the month....so I am hoping I am just getting antsy! The anticipation is killing me since I do not have classes to distract me!!!

Hi there,

I applied to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lehigh University, the University of Cincinnati, Northeastern University, and Ohio University (all school psych PhD programs except OU, which is clinical). I received an invitation to interview at UNL and UC. I'm as excited as I am nervous! Good luck to everyone and I hope you all hear back soon! 

Hi! I also received an interview at UNL, congrats! See you in about a week  ! So far I am more excited than nervous, but I know that balance will change as we get closer, I'm sure!

Hey everyone!

I want to compare my credentials because I applied to December 1st deadline and am absolutely terrified I will not get an interview! I applied to UMD, UMASS-Boston, UCONN and University of Georgia. I will be applying to Fordham, Kean and Rutgers. 

I have a 3.98 GPA from SBU, 3 co-authorships on a publication, presentation and poster, and a first author on a poster. I am currently a research coordinator in psychiatry, and have strong letters of rec. BUT low GRE scores because I do poorly on standardized tests. Do you think my GRE scores will kill my chances of getting an interview?  

Any opinions or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

First of all, I applied to UMD too! Second, your qualifications are amazing, so most, if not all, of the programs will not focus on your GREs as much (unless some schools have mandatory minimums, most of the time they just show the average of their students' scores). Good luck!!

That’s a good list. Do you have a top school? And good luck!! The wait is definitely killing me hahaha. 

I'm debating UB (since I already work with the professor who I want to be my advisor and love her) and UNL, which I deemed as my "reach" school but just heard from them two days ago and I have an interview with them on January 14th! But I am taking it how it comes and keeping an open mind about all of them!

Hi! I am currently a second year MA/AC school psychology student at University at Buffalo, but just applied to UB, University of Arizona, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and University of Maryland for PhDs in School Psych! My research interests are bullying and victimization in culturally and linguistically diverse students and other minority populations (e.g. LGBTQ+ community), and development of prevention and intervention programs in those areas to promote school climate so that is why I chose the above schools.

I can barely handle the wait of hearing back from the schools but I have two weeks left of the semester to finish so I don't have the time to worry about it ? 

 

Good luck to everyone!!!
