This thread has so much helpful potential! Ty

My impression is that they differ in the structure and resources they directly provide for their graduate students (hands-off vs. hands-on philosophy).

Hello! Has anyone heard from McGill, University of Kansas, or Rutgers? (I know it's still a bit early, but just thought I'd check!)
Rutgers is doing preliminary phone interviews now. Interview day = 2/1

Hello!
So, I'm a part of the lgbt community and I've lived in a big and fairly liberal city all my life and now that I'm moving, I'm really nervous as to what it'll be like. I'm applying to UCLA, Dartmouth, University of Pittsburgh, UNC at Chapel Hill, Stanford, and Columbia and was just wondering if anyone knew if the programs/cities were fairly accepting? I'm not really worried about NY or LA since they're big cities and liberal, but I know Hanover is a fairly small town and not sure how liberal/conservative they are. I also have no idea about Chapel Hill or Pittsburgh either. If y'all live near there, visited, or have heard anything, please let me know!
Feel free to ask about other cities/programs as well and hello to any other lgbt people on this site!
Over five years living in Pittsburgh and being part of the university, people are very accepting here. The city itself is very socially liberal and the program is definitely lgbtq friendly, as there are organizations/clubs specifically supporting the lgbtq community at the university.
Let me know if you have any specific Qs.

Congratulations to the person who got the interview invite to Yale social psychology. Would you mind sharing your POI?

Anyone applying to UPitt and thinking about using your doctorate for a non-academic career pursuit (which is a whole other convo), the university seems to be "woke" about it - thought I'd share a newsletter I got as Psych staff: https://www.as.pitt.edu/snapshot/1218/wide-angle

Is it too late after the applications are submitted to reach out to the POIs individually? I didn't do it before and now I'm wondering if I shot myself in the foot. Should I still do this?
I say wait to hear from them now that you've submitted your apps.
The main benefit I got from emailing them individually (before submitting) was finding out several of my top choices were not taking students -I'm looking at you, Northwestern!-, but now that they are going to be reviewing apps they will contact you soon.

Create a pros/cons list like a cable package ad! It will help you figure out what factors you personally want to prioritize and more easily compare different factors.
See ex below:
school 1 school 2
good funding yes yes
supportive environment yes ?
lively place to live no yes
