Okay, so I have a dilemma if anyone has any advice for me... I’ve been accepted to 3 schools (only holding on to 3 because one has yet to send the official offer, once I receive the official offer I will release the other 2). However, I was randomly invited to interview with a school at the end of February, asking if I was still interested (I’m almost positive they had already had their official interviews and this was a last minute invite of some kind). However, because of their spring break, and now COVID 19, they are unable to set up an official date with me for when this interview will be. What I’m nervous about now is meeting the April 15 deadline for my decision due to all of these delays - does anyone know if they might plan to extend this deadline? Or any tips on what I should do?

Does anyone know when University of Nevada, Las Vegas' Clinical Psychology interview is supposed to be? They're the only school I applied to that I can't find a potential interview date for.

School: Virginia Consortium Program Type: Clinical Psychology PhD Date of invite: 1/10 Type of invite: Mass email Interview date(s): 2/7 Clinical Psychology PhD (16) Vanderbilt University | UNC Charlotte | Penn State University | Texas Tech University | UAB | Eastern Michigan University | Georgia State University | LSU | Wayne State | University of Nebraska, Lincoln | University of Nevada, Las Vegas | University of Houston | UT Southwestern | Virginia Consortium | Washington State University | University of South Alabama | Clinical Psychology PsyD (2) Roosevelt University | Florida Institute of Technology Applied (18/18) | Interview Invite (4/18) | Accepted (0/18) | Waitlisted (0/18) | Rejected (2/18)

School: University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Type: Medical/Clinical Psychology PhD Date of invite: 1/8 Type of invite: Mass email Interview date(s): 2/9-10 Message me for POIs' initials, I had 3 on my application with 1 being very clearly my top choice, but the email said applicants will meet with everyone you had listed on your application. Shocked to have even been invited, this has been my top program for a long time now and am feeling very grateful. I hope everyone else will get this same feeling during their application season! Here's to hoping this leads to more than just an interview. Clinical Psychology PhD (16) Vanderbilt University | UNC Charlotte | Penn State University | Texas Tech University | UAB | Eastern Michigan University | Georgia State University | LSU | Wayne State | University of Nebraska, Lincoln | University of Nevada, Las Vegas | University of Houston | UT Southwestern | Virginia Consortium | Washington State University | University of South Alabama | Clinical Psychology PsyD (2) Roosevelt University | Florida Institute of Technology Applied (18/18) | Interview Invite (3/18) | Accepted (0/18) | Waitlisted (0/18) | Rejected (1/18)

Does it matter whether or not your potential mentor doesn't have tenure yet? I never see or hear people talking about this when considering applying to clinical psychology programs. I assume it's because most professors who are actually accepting students are the professors who don't yet have tenure? My dad is a professor in a totally different field and keeps mentioning how risky it would be to have a mentor without the security of tenure, but the majority of the professors I applied to work under don't have tenure. Any thoughts on this?
