I found my current crc position through the university’s job page! I would search for terms like research and psychology and it popped up 
 
specific lab pages sometimes promote positions on their “joining the lab“ page
 
otherwise this drive is super helpful: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mJjXF9K-2PSLiUVI1CpiTOjWUclek5o_

The last week of waiting ? every notification I get I'm thinking this is it.  And then it turns out to be spam

Also have kids to distract me lol. Life moves very fast but very slow nonetheless. 

Keeping busy with kids and work and honestly just trying to make it day to day.. have a hard time distracting myself but thankful it’s only a week until the 15th. Really hope people will make decisions soon though and things might get moving before the 15th.. 

It's been hard because whether I'm doing work, school (I'm graduating with my MA in Psych next month) and homeschooling my girls, I still often think about not hearing about my one waitlist and if I have a chance of getting in this year (which seems to diminish as the days go on). I also constantly think of how little my chance is getting of the waitlist since I doubt my mentor will be able to accept two students (I think I have a better chance getting hit by lightning at this point). I just try and keep on keeping on. 

I know at this point we probably will only hear back after the 15th
How have y'all been distracting yourself while you wait? 

Yeah, of course! I was dealing with more or less of the same since the beginning of March! I interviewed Feb 12th since then I’ve been trying to see the status of the program. Best of luck, stay strong. 

I'm deff feeling the same as you- posting is keeping me sane while I wait on my last two waitlists
 
I would probably wait to reach out a week after the April 15th deadline (giving them time to process paperwork etc) if they are planning on sending out more acceptances.  And I would just ask for a follow-up again!

I wouldn't be too worried- how long have you been waiting for? Sometimes it takes a week or so to get processed

Has everyone Heard back from all their schools and waitlist or are there still some people like me, who are waiting on the waitlist. This is so brutal. Congrats to everyone who knows where they are going though!

I posted this on Friday and I just received an unofficial acceptance email from my PI. I have been crying tears of joy for the past hour. 
this is my third cycle trying and I’m so glad I never gave up. I am beyond excited for this. I want to make my kids proud!
please please don’t give up! Even if you don’t get in this round, so what..start now getting things together and ready for next cycle! 
 
please pm me if you have any questions/feedback/tips, anything!!!!

Anyone else slowly getting more anxious as the April 15th date approaches?  I’m on a few different waitlists and one where the POI is still figuring out department funding and I’m getting less and less hopeful as each day goes on

Yes, I am on two waitlists, one for my first choice, and with each week that passes I get less hopeful. I truly hope people will make decisions soon  

Yesssss. Don't lose hope though! I just got a call from a PI today at a school that I didn't interview with. He's doing a second round of interviews and invited me for next Monday! Super surprised, but just goes to show that anything can happen!

Does anyone know how long it takes a program to send out another offer once an applicant denies an acceptance? 

I got the news today that I was accepted off the waitlist for UMSL! 
I am proof that determination and persistence pay off. If you are feeling discouraged after this cycle, I just want you to know that there is hope. It might not happen on the timeline you thought it would, but please don't give up. Take time to grieve and then kick your ass into overdrive prepping for the next cycle. It's a grind, but I promise it's worth it. 
I've been round these parts for three years now, and I really appreciate this supportive community. I'm excited to stick around and hopefully help others persevere and realize their dreams. I believe in all of you! I'm always here if you need to vent, have questions, or just want a buddy. 

I’ve been trying to keep myself busy without overthinking about worst possible scenarios 
anyone know approximately how many people get off the waitlist? For both high and middle alternates
