  1. Ugh I just updated most of my schools to rejected / presumed rejected because 1) I'm being a pessimistic lil biotch, and 2) they probably are rejections at this point! I applied 2 years ago and got interviews at 2 top-30 programs and now I can't get any interviews and my CV is way better??? I guess I will just never be a psychologist and will have to start a commune somewhere in the caribbean where we subside off the land just get drunk on the beach every day. Let me know if you want to join!
  2. lmao at the response from UCLA... obviously everyone will know by that date. Thanks for this update tho. Still crossing my fingers and toes for both schools! Good luck.
  3. Advice on what to do if you get two interviews scheduled for the same day?? (Not that this will likely happen to me ?)
  4. I think this is a good question, and it is important to consider. I will never answer the phone to a faculty member because I would want time to prepare for any questions they might throw on you. Sometimes they call and do a mini phone interview right then and there. It is totally fine to have them leave a voicemail and you call back ASAP. Just make sure your voicemail message is appropriate (i.e. not something you set in 6th grade) and that your VM box is not full.
  5. Does anyone know when we should hear from UCLA or UCSD? Their interviews are in 3 weeks. Kinda short notice, no?
  6. Hi, If you got an interview invite from University of Houston, can you please DM me your PI's initials?? Just ready to know already (-: Thanks.
  7. It definitely does not hurt to reach back out. I would follow up and just ask if they have an update and tell them you're really excited about the prospect. You deserve to hear back in a timely manner!
  8. Hi, congrats on your interview! I am not able to DM you for some reason. Can you send me your PI's initials?
  9. Hi, was this a mass email? Trying to determine if I should count myself out for this program. Thanks!
  10. This is totally acceptable and doesn't make you seem directionless. There are often a lot of professors with really similar research within the same University.
  11. I took the GRE twice before applying last cycle. My quant score was terrible both times despite feeling like I studied quite a bit. I'm considering taking the test again the first week of November but don't know if that would give me enough time to raise my score significantly. What helped you study for the GRE—especially the quant section? I don't know what is the most efficient use of my time/money.
  12. I had similar scores on the GRE (91st percentile on verbal) but a terrible math score (149) and still got 3 interviews—the highest ranked program being #11. My point being that I was accepted to an R1 clinical program despite my low math scores. However, having good GRE scores really makes the whole process much easier, because most top-ranked programs use the GRE as a weed-out tool. With my research experience (2 years coordinating a large-scale trial and 5 publications), I believe that I would have gotten more interviews had my math GRE score been higher. I tried getting my math score up really quickly between the first and second time i took the GRE but just wasn't successful—but it sounds like you have plenty of time to study and take it later on! I would recommend taking it again if you don't get the score you want (even though it's expensive!!). Hope this is helpful.
  13. Depends on the program you apply to. At the top ranked schools (i.e. 1-50), most professors won't even consider students who apply straight out of undergrad. They value applied research experience above all. So depending on what you do in your two research labs, it is possible to get in somewhere with no publications/posters, but you will need to apply to lots of schools to increase your chances of getting an interview. My undergrad GPA was low, and so was my quant GRE score, but I got interviews at top programs because of my post-bac research experience. I also had 5 publications and 2 posters.
  14. I haven't heard back yet but saw somebody posted that they already received a rejection email. I want to know who the P.I. was.
  15. I know this because I work here, but I do not know which professors specifically have or have not sent invites. Good luck!
  16. I was told I am first on somebody's waitlist. Has anyone every been waitlisted and actually gotten an interview after?
  17. Hi! To the person with an interview at UW-Milwaukee, can you PM me the initials of your P.I.?
  18. To the person who got an interview at UW-Milwuakee, can you PM me the P.I's initials?
  19. I'm applying only to clinical programs ?. My combined score is over 310 but my quant was lower than 50th percentile lol. I think the rest of my application is strong but hope my application doesn't get thrown in the trash because of my quant score.
  20. Does anybody else have high GRE scores in one subject but really low scores in another? Do any schools use a combined score? Do lots of schools have official cutoffs? Not sure what to expect
