Oklahoma State posters - I've reached out to a couple people who had the same POI. Did invitation seem to be mass invite or POI specific?
My invite was an either/or type. I was personally emailed by director of clinical training but my POI and another person were cc'd, it did seem to be a mass email copy/paste style in how the information was given and that we had to contact another email to let them know if we could make it. though my POI was directly mentioned in my email in that he is looking forward to speaking with me personally at interview weekend

This is my second year of applying and I JUST TODAY got an interview invite via email from one of my top schools. Like a beyond skype interview.
I received an interview invite last year from my top school /then/ but never received an invite for actual in person interviews because it turned out my picked out mentor for that school (nor my backup) were/could take a new student... my question here is... wow, it's only 12/13 ... how can schools review applications in 12 days??? I submitted all of mine halfway through November, but still! Plus I did cold-emailing and conference meet-ups, but wow, I am so impressed right now.
Does anyone know the statistics behind how many people get invited for interviews and how many end up getting accepted after? I feel like I've passed one bar, but have many other higher bars now, to surpass! best of luck to you all!

Hi all. I am currently a first-year student in a Clinical Psychology PhD program and thought I would share this info on the interview for the schools I applied to last year and the interview invitation date/method for the schools I interviewed at. I would have loved something like this last year – I lurked on Grad Café but never created an account or posted so now I want to give back! Keep in mind, at some schools the POI will contact you directly and at other schools it will be the DCT or an administrative assistant sending out a mass email. This was my FIFTH time applying to Clinical Psych PhD programs and I finally made it so you all definitely can too!! All of this info is for the Clinical Psychology PhD programs for these schools! Any questions about anything at all, please PM me!
School (Interview Invitation Date/Method) Interview Date(s)
Marquette Univ (12/19/18; mass email from DCT) 1/28/19, 2/1/19, 2/4/19 (you choose)
Fordham Univ (1/14/19; mass email from DCT) 1/25/19, 2/1/19 (you choose)
Univ of Florida (12/20/18; mass email from DCT) 2/14/19 – 2/16/19
Louisiana State Univ (12/14/18; direct from POI) 2/1/19
Univ of Kentucky 1/24/19 – 1/25/19
Univ of North Texas 2/1/19
Temple Univ 1/14/19
Univ of Utah 2/1/19
Univ of Kansas 2/7/19 – 2/9/19
Univ of Montana 2/8/19
Univ of Pittsburgh 2/15/19 – 2/16/19
Univ of Rhode Island 2/18/19
Washington State Univ 3/1/19

Which programs?
(some have had maybe one or two posters but for majority these schools I have not seen any post/any thing about them on results page): USC, suny-buffalo, UMass-Amherst, FSU, UMaryland-College Park; PennState and UAB have posted a couple times but nothing like some of the other schools. Guess its a big pool and this site is only a small percentage of those applicants
-
Everyone is telling me to go ahead and accept that I just may not get into a school this year, but I cant help but feel its not too late (wishful thinking?) At the moment i have not heard a word from 6-7 places at all and their web status pages say they are still reviewing, and no one has posted anything about each of these schools on the results page, not a word at all! I guess my top choices dont care to browse this site blahhhhhh
-
So, I got a “tease” email today from FSU, but they did say near the end that the reviewing process had begun. (I mean, quote me if I’m wrong but I do believe they only started school back this week—and on the app status page it says the deadline for freshmen notifications is 1/31) can anyone back this up? I haven’t seen anything posted on results page about FSU and am starting to worry. But the email today was optimistic, even if it was a generic material

I just saw in another thread that the on-site interview invitation for FIU PhD program in developmental psychology will be extended this coming week. Has anybody heard back from FIU regarding on-site interview invites for clinical psychology? On the result section, I noticed that only one person got an interview over the phone from a POI at FIU and that's pretty much it.
I have, and I do believe I was the poster on results section if you are mentioning the person who said they posted about two POI interview invites.
After our interviews one poi told me that for clinical, they had just finished reviewing apps (this was last Monday) and the interview date is around the 8th or 10th of feb (he wasn’t sure).
That said, I think each POI is taking this week and maybe next to get back to all potential interviewees. Sadly though, I do know for almost every POI I applied to work under (in clinical and child psych) they had less funding to admit new students. I had two interviews and got an email of rejection last Tuesday. One day after interviewing. However I knew my chances were slim, they are (these two specific poi’s) only able to take extreme “all stars”. It’s all about funding sadly. I was very dismayed but that’s the name of the game

I’ve posted a few times about this but I haven’t really gotten any responses. Maybe there aren’t a lot of applicants on here. Has anyone heard back from the Cognition and Brain Science program at GaTech or the Clinical-Community program at U of South Carolina? I haven’t heard back at all and I don’t see any other posters, I’m literally losing it over here ?
i have not heard anything at all from USC but I will share with you one little link that I randomly found wednesday--buried within USC's website. Its a listing of deadlines even when to expect interviews...I wish all schools had this kind of link https://psych.sc.edu/internal/clinical-community-program-admission-criteria
--when do you think "mid-January" ends? lol

Did anyone apply to SUNY Buffalo clinical phd for fall 2019? I see in other years people got interview invites around this time. Wondering if anyone has info on it
Hi I noticed your post whole trying to find anything at all on this program! Have you heard anything new? I emailed the dept a day ago and they said that they (this one specific person) did not think they had sent out any interview inviites yet; however, I am still questioning because I know someone who applied there as well but for the counseling/school program and was invited for interview that will occur next weekend... Im hoping they have different interview weekends for each dept.

I can’t find anything on here recent or from last year that is at all relevant to SUNY-Buffalo/university at buffalo. Has anyone else? Or have any word on if they are just slow reviewers?

i got rejected from a thing today, not a grad school but pretty similar app process
boy it stings!
I was rejected (yesterday) after a preliminary interview via skype/phone on Monday. And I thought my interview was splendid, we connected, and they told me I asked the right questions, had relevant research/clinical experience, and had a top application plus great LoR's... but they don't have the funding to take on another student. I have trouble believing they didn't already know their funding game before my interview, but thats the game of it all, its a big percentage of luck/time/who you know, so: I feel you, I thought I was in the bag with them, and then rugs pulled completely. It stings a ton, but honestly, everything happens for a reason. Humans adapt.

Yeah. Your chances are lower. I've been invited by secondary POIs before, but I have a feeling that's relatively rare.
Were the secondary POI interviews you received because you guys had related research interests, or were they random?

I think they finished the application review last week. I don't think the in-person invitations have made it all out yet.
Hi, so can I ask your opinion on why some POI's may extend preliminary interviews for students when they may know already that they cant/dont have the funding for this year to take on any new, additional students? Or is that a front, and really just a nice way of saying "your prelim interview was not up to par, but your application was strong, just prelim interview lacking, perhaps?

One more question for you guys (I apologize! I am just now realizing that I sadly put a lot of stock in potential POI's who were up in the air on if they could take students bc of funding) if my main POI I mentioned in my PS is for sure now (after updating her website recently) is saying he/she will not be able to take students after all, does this mean I will automatically put at the bottom of list if not rejected out right? Or will they try and see if I can fit with other potential mentors? I havent heard back from this school yet (and to their defense they have not --from what it seems here-- sent out many interview invites yet) but I am worried I shot myself in the foot hoping their funding would come out in my favor.

I emailed all of my programs to ask point blank. I told them that I work a job that requires a month's worth of availability ahead of time and I wanted to block out the dates just in case. (Which is true, I wasn't just making that up lol)
Have you heard anything back yet? For the good or the bad?

Also, for those of you who may have applied to USC's clinical community program and happened to look over this very informative link on deadlines, well:

Hi, I am curious what you guys’s Opinion might be on emailing schools (either their grad admin or maybe the psych dept specifically?) to inquire on when they will begin sending out interview invites and when that will close? Is this considered annoying/I just need to be patient?
I’m wondering because, I only recently found one of my applied schools web portals that details when they start reviewing, when to expect emails for interviews, the date of the interviews, and when you can expect complete rejection. —why can’t all schools do this? It was a revelation because I found out I don’t even need to worry yet about this school bc interview invites don’t even begin until mid-late January (of course there are outliers but this was a great general timetable i found that I could rely on)
