What does this mean? This application season has been a heart breaker for me and after 3 interviews, I was rejected by one and have heard from neither of the others, though others have gotten into both so I assume the worst. Plus a number of schools who have said NOTHING. One of those schools is DePaul, which was one of my favorite programs and I was bummed when I knew of others who got interviews. So, they definitely interviewed people for the program (Community Psychology) and I was not one of them. I just got a mass email from their financial aid office sent to newly admitted students. What does this mean? It's obviously too late there to talk to anyone today, though I sent an email inquiring to their grad school email address. I, obviously, can't help but entertain fantasies of what this could mean, but since I didn't interview I assume it's a screw up. I keep an eye on all of the schools that have been silent and haven't seen anyone else admitted. Prior to this email I was legitimately asking whether the local commuter college will even admit me for a 5th year MA at this point and do this whole thing again or just not. So, I would be thrilled if this actually meant I was in, but it doesn't mean that right?

Hey, I interviewed there as well (as did a friend of mine) and neither of us have heard back. I was told it would be 7-10 days and that was 3 weeks ago. Loved the program and would love to hear.

I haven't sifted through 33 pages of entries, but are there any other Community Psychology PhD candidates out there? It's such a small field, but I'd love to meet up with others who are applying. I have submitted apps to: UIC, DePaul, Hawaii, NCSU, GWU, U Mich, Cincinnati, UCSC, Portland, Miami, Alaska and a few social psych programs where my POI was interested in the same areas of research. Plus UMass Psych of Peace. I have held it together until now, finals week. I am taking 16 units and I cannot focus on anything but my app status.
