Thanks for the reply! I emailed back and forth with a POI in November, talked to the grad office a few weeks ago, and searched through the info on the website; but the only info I could get was about the accepted students day. So, I thought I'd also check with everyone here, because I found it unusual that the program didn't seem to have official interviews.
FYI it’s like that for many top dev psych programs, like Michigan and NYU

Thanks for the info! So, they don't even do a phone or Skype interview before admitting?
Some POIs do, but it was a school you truly should have/needed to email yourself before hand

UCSB interview invite, Feb 1st is their interview day. PM me for POI (dev psyc)

I think I shouldn't expect anything good happen to me anymore. Maybe I should just plan to apply again next year. After a good talk with a PI from NYU, she asked the committee on weekend and they said they won't invite me for a campus interview because of the research fit. I have tons of experience with cognitive development and they still think I'm not a good fit to the program. But I applied to Duke Neuroscience program with less than two months of experience with neuroscience and was still invited for a formal campus interview. For no reason I could understand. Is the application process totally random? I applied to 14 programs and only offered formal interview invitation at one currently. Also the other interviewees at Duke all have tons of experience with neuroscience. I'll try my best but personally I don't think I stand a good chance. I know I shouldn't get upset that early but sometimes I just couldn't control this feeling. It is still 3 months before I would know whether I'll be accepted into any of these programs. I can't imagine stay stressful for another 3 months. Wish you all the best in this process guys......
Mind if you PM me your POI at NYU?

Ahhh Skype got an email from Stanford PI for Skype interview

Just curious, how many of you are applying straight out of undergrad? I am.
Me too, I also graduated a year early. So if I get in anywhere I won’t even be able to (legally) drink to celebrate haha

Didn’t UCSB push their deadline back? I applied to a different department there and they had extended the deadline to January I think because of the fires.
I don’t think the psych department did. I already received an interview
-
Wonderful!
Also for your information, UCSB’s email system is down so if you’re like me freaking out trying to email someone don’t worry haha

It's on the results page. They just said "Psychology" and didn't clarify which concentration. I applied to clinical as well.
Apologies that was me, I applied to developmental. Skype interview for first week of January

GREs are really school dependent. I talked to one of the people on Michigan’s admissions committee and they said they don’t even request to see it, it’s just a grad school requirement from the school itself. Minnesota on the other hand cared about it, especially the subject test
-
To the peson who got the NYU interview, congrats! Was it a formal interview invitation or informal Skyped call?
-
I emailed Stanford and they said you don’t send apps unless the request them (I.e. you make the first cut)

I’ve obsessively been baking
Im an RA to a bunch of freshmen so they’re loving it haha

Well at least we know the apps have trickled down to the PIs.
Have you heard anything re: Minnesota?
And that UCLA post in the results page really freaked me out, I wonder if that’s an official interview notice (because I haven’t heard anything from them at all since my Skype call with POI pre-app).
Posted this previously, but POI I emailed said the faculty there have started to review them personally. ICD I think is different not sure how they work.
-
Can provide some insight to UMN.
I visited there in October and they said they decide before the winter break, but the graduate school doesn't send anything out until January. So it's possible that their POI wanted to email the applicant before official results came in.
Also, I'm applying to PIB program.

Just a quick update. I talked to a PI through skype today at NYU and she said the notifications for campus interview will be sent by X'mas. Different division may have different pace but we can expect it to happen before January lol. Pretty much freak out now. Hope they'll invite me for a formal interview.
Social or C&P??

Who did you apply to work with at the University of Minnesota? I went to undergrad there! ?
Haha I applied to work in PIB program
-
Just had an informal chat with POI from Michigan, she wouldn’t tell me when notifications go out but there isn’t an interview weekend for Michigan, just a recruitment weekend (this goes ditto for University of Minnesota)

Yo I feel this I feel like I see every other type of psych releasing interview but clinical
It’s because for clinical the applicant pool at times is as many as all the other types combined

Not really true

I def. will sit this one OUT LOL... I wouldn't want to rub any professors the wrong way. To me sending an e-mail at this point looks pushy/impatient and inappropriate. Trusting the process over here
To be fair I didn’t just send a “please let me know” email it was more of a “here are some updates to my application since I turned it in” email
-

For Michigan did you email a specific POI or the program in general?
Everyone I emailed were professors. I suppose I was lucky that all the POIs I emailed over the summer responded fairly quickly to me
-
So I was anxious and decided to do a mass email to be POIs I reached out to over the summer/early fall about my status, here are my mix of results
Stanford: “We should be done reviewing by mid-January”
NYU: “We are in the middle of reviewing applicants, youll have an update ‘soon’ “
Minnesota: “The applications have filtered our way to us faculty, I will be reviewing them soon. best of luck!” (Glad to know I made the filter haha)
Yale: “Thanks for the update! You’ll hear from me soon”
Michigan: “Expect to hear from me by the end of the week”
UCSD: “Don’t worry, the other UCs are much faster than us (I referenced how other UCs are sending invites already)”

Anyone else applying to this? Seems to me not many people know about it (or don’t qualify either) but just submitted mine and it feels fantastic, the last “application” of this cycle
Interview scheduling with POI and then......

Here’s the insight: it’s holidays and the end of the semester don’t worry and just follow up after a few days
