  1. Hi! I've looked at quite a few threads for fully funded and partially funded psychology master's degree programs. Does anyone know of any fully or partially funded clinical psychology programs? A lot of the threads had responses of people who did not want to disclose their institution because they didn't want to be identified. If you feel comfortable, feel free to message me, or I can message you.

    I got into a great clinical psychology master's program in a past cycle. While they did offer a small assistantship, the program did not have tuition waivers or scholarships (tuition was quite expensive and the cost of living was veryyyyy expensive). 

  2. I have two separate questions for different schools.

    The application portal for a program that I have presumed rejection for updated two days ago to “Dept. Decision Made” after months of “To Dept. For Review”. How long until the letter becomes accessible? The wait is killing me lol.

    One program that I interviewed for notified us that decisions would be sent out on March 19th “after spring break”. Is it too much to call tomorrow to ask about the status? Also dying from anticipation lol

    This is crazy! I had a similar situation where I had a school invite me to an interview a week early and I immediately said I couldn't afford it, but they were very understanding and let me do a skype interview with no issues. 

    I completely understand why you would push for it if it's your top school, however. I'm not sure how they can expect you to pay for everything.. Maybe see if there's AirBnBs in the area? Sometimes you can get a pretty good deal on there. Not to make assumptions, but does this school have good funding for their program in general? I'm very surprised to hear that they are giving you such short notice and then not offering any help, even if it's just to stay with a grad student on their couch or something. 

    I will definitely search for airbnbs! Historically the university has been really good about funding students with the majority receiving aid that covers tuition and travel as well as assistantships. 

  4. I need advice:

    The DCT from a university that I was invited to interview with sent out our interview schedules and dates last week. The interview is NEXT week. Next week is also midterms week for my university and because of the time crunch, the flight in itself is $600+. They are not funding the interview and we will be paying for our hotel lodging as well. This university is my top choice and a perfect match for my research but I just do not have the money to get there. After searching all around campus for any type of funding assistance, I am still empty handed. I asked the DCT if it was possible to do a Skype interview because of my predicament. He said that the faculty would meet today to make a decision about remote interviewing. I'm silently freaking out. I don't know what else to do. I'm sure I can scrape some money together to get there if I have to (maybe a few missed meals and a lot of begging), but in total, I would be paying close to $1,000 for a chance at possible acceptance. Any recommendations?

  5. So I didn’t understand what type of beast I was tackling by applying to PhD programs. I only applied to 3 and presumed rejection for all after February 1st. Today I got an email notifying me of my first interview! I received an acceptance for a masters program and had decided it was my only option (a great option but still). There’s a little glimmer of hope now! I’m still waiting on the other two rejections though lol

    Has anyone heard anything from the University of Tennessee, University of South Carolina, or Florida State? Interviews were three weeks ago. 

    Haven’t heard a decision from USC. I contacted them a week ago and they basically said “you’re probably waitlisted”. ?

    I haven't heard back from anyone so I feel like I am just waiting for all the bad news that I wont hear till come April.... ? It's all I can do to not start studying for the GRE again and consider going a non-clinical track ?

    Same! I’m going to apply for masters programs, some RA positions, and a few job postings for clinical experience as well.

  8. Despite my presumed rejections... I finally took a leap of faith and contacted the psych departments at the schools I have yet to hear back from. I’ve gotten one response so far. I don’t know if anyone else is waiting on GaTech Cognition and Brain Science but here’s the response:

    Applications for the Ph.D. program are still being reviewed by faculty.  If you are selected or denied you will be notified through the College Net system.  Thank for contacting the School of Psychology at Georgia Tech.

  9. 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 ?

  10. Aargghhhh. I’m trying to be patient and wait to call the department. Has anyone heard from GaTech’s Cognition and Brain Science program? I saw one acceptance on the result page. I know this program does not do formal interviews, you are notified of your acceptance and invited to recruitment weekend. I know recruitment weekend is in the beginning of February ?. Is it safe to assume that I am rejected this cycle? I did not stack up as far as GRE scores so I knew it was a stretch.
