Some updates if anyone is interested:
UCSD/SDSU: "The JDP has begun to invite applicants for interviews, and applicants will be contacted over the next several days."
UCLA: "Thank you for checking. Currently, applicants being invited to interview are being contacted directly via email. All applicants will receive a decision on their application no later than April 15, 2021"
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.

Advice on what to do if you get two interviews scheduled for the same day?? (Not that this will likely happen to me ?)

Anyone have any thoughts about the importance of answering a phone call from a possible POI/school vs letting it go to voicemail and calling back? Do we think faculty mind us letting it go to voicemail or there would be a chance they won't leave one if we don't answer? Probably relatively unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but wanted to see what others think.
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.

Hi everyone,
I need some advice. I had a brief preliminary interview with my POI at UCSB eleven days ago, and I still haven't heard back. Does this mean I won't get an invite to interview day or is there still a chance? It seems most applicants who had pre-interviews with their POIs heard back after a few days. Not sure if I should email her or wait a few more days. Interview day is Jan 15, so I'm assuming they've all made a decision by now?
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!

Should we create a thread about how to prepare for interviews?

Does anyone have experience with reapplying to a program you interviewed for? I'm considering reapplying but to a different professor, and I'm not sure if that will make me seem directionless or determined. I know that one of the professors wasn't accepting last cycle, and the other I didn't know about until interview week and never spoke with/emailed them, but it is the same program.
Any opinions on this topic would be helpful!
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.

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.
-
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.

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.

How do you know this, do you work there? Do you know who has and who hasn't?
I know this because I work here, but I do not know which professors specifically have or have not sent invites. Good luck!

My verbal was very high, my quant was very mediocre but my total was 320. One school I applied to said they expected 310 minimum. I have gotten one interview weekend invite so far, so I wouldn’t worry too much. I think most places will look at your whole application, not just your scores.
Most schools don’t have official cutoffs. At least for the non-clinical programs.
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.
-
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

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!
