Chugwater2020

I will be. I applied to the Counseling Psychology Ph.D., interviewed, and did not get in. They were kind enough to consider my application for the Clinical Mental Health Counseling masters and granted admission.

I take it as good insight, for sure! Now we just need to keep in touch with each other if we do hear anything.

I also emailed CSU and received this response last night: The Admissions Committee should be sending out invitations for interviews in the next week. They have not confirmed if that (Feb.5th) will be the official interview date yet. Due to Covid, everything has been on a different time frame this year as it takes a little longer to get things done remotely.

Hi PsychMama! There is a Slack group for all of us applicants that has incredible resources for interview prep. Join us! https://join.slack.com/t/psychinout/shared_invite/zt-kmiz8qlh-XLNYySgujTzZcMIzKBJhpg Alll are welcome to join. It is an incredibly supportive, abundant environment.

I would love to re-tweet this and tag a number of like-minded folks so they can share if you feel comfortable tweeting.

Hi everyone. This is me: @babbsweissman.

My answer is the same as @FingersCrossed58! Any opportunity to organically connect is a good thing!

I would also love to know!

My DU application portal says the same. I am a Counseling Psych app and had a great relationship with my admissions counselor so I emailed her to check in. She shared that all formal invites have gone out and I am waitlisted for an interview. I hope this is helpful!

Congratulations! You are slayyyyyiing!!

I felt the same relief when I got a rejection from U of Oregon Counseling Psych program! Bummer, but I sure appreciate knowing.

I direct messaged you. ?

It will happen! I am a second time applicant too and it is so hard. Hang in there --- a lot of interviews have not been extended yet!

I am waiting to hopefully hear from USU also, but nothing yet. ??

Formal Interview School: Indiana University - Bloomington Type: Counseling Psychology Ph.D. Date of invite: 12/19 Type of invite: Email from Graduate Assistant Interview date: January 29th DM for POI: Yes Extremely grateful for the opportunity to interview!

You and I have almost exactly the same interests. Feel free to dm me and I can share where I applied and why!

Happy Hanukkah to you too!

I thought I would chime in as I have just completed a Psychology MA through Pepperdine, which was entirely online. I feel that it is important to note that my experience was my experience, but hopefully this will help to instill some hope about what may become more normal for future learning. If the professor was committed to an interactive, enriching environment, then the online classroom afforded that. (side note: we were initially using Adobe Connect and switched to Zoom a few semesters in, I believe) We as students were able to not only learn a great deal, we were also able to truly connect with our fellow classmates and professors. When the professor crafted this type of learning environment, we were able to debate and discuss fairly seamlessly. For some specific insight: the first day of each course, the professor, if fostering an interactive room, typically outlined how they preferred us to interact. Some professors utilized the hand-raising tool, some preferred we physically raise our hands, and some just paid attention to when we would unmute ourselves, taking it as a cue that we would like to share. I was especially (happily!) surprised by the bonds that were able to form given the medium. We forged meaningful relationships with each other, bridging age spans (I am 45 and most of my classmates who I consider close friends now are in their 20s and very early 30s), differing locations (we were spread all over the US and also had a handful of over-seas classmates), and more. I also wanted to share my experience with role-playing over the online medium. Because it was our normal, role-playing felt very comfortable on Zoom. Sometimes we did this in the main classroom with all of us and sometimes we were grouped and assigned to break-out rooms. That said, even thinking about it now, I think I would be more intimidated to role-play in person, but again, I attribute that to my version of normal. Similar to how it will be for me when I need to adjust to role-playing in person, I would guess there will be some awkward, potentially uncomfortable moments as those of you transition from in-person to online. Not to be too rah-rah over here, but I know we will all be ok. (at least this is what I keep telling myself ?) If anyone has any questions, please feel free to message me directly. Stay safe out there.

Me too, please!

Hi Clinical Psych Ph.D. community, There were two posters on the results page who have Zoom interviews at Washington State University and one who received a rejection. If any of you see this, I would be very grateful if you were to feel comfortable DM'ing me your POI initials. Sending everyone positivity during this stressful time! Thank you! ?

This thread is giving me life. Thank you. ?

School: Pacific University Type: PsyD Date of invite: 1/22/2020 Type: Rejection Email They have completed their review of applications and are not able to offer me admission. Offered to pass my application on to the MA of Psychological Sciences Program Director. I already have my master's so am not interested. Good luck to all of you out there!

Is this for the PhD? --- Please disregard! I just saw your response to another person that it is for the PsyD program. Apologies!

I have a classmate who was invited to interview at The Wright Institute today in an email.

I have a classmate who received one on Thursday. I received a rejection letter. I would say no news is good news!
