  1. Pretty sure it's just a few, though I'm sure the number of students nominated varies depending on the school and the fellowship.
  2. I would definitely let them know. My advisors recommended it, so I contacted the other programs when I chose the program I was going to attend. They all emailed back thanking me for letting them know. Like you said, it's a small field! I also put a little sentence at the bottom saying I was looking forward to seeing more of their work, or seeing them at SIOP, or something along those lines, so that I wasn't fully shutting the door on the ones I had gotten to know through the interview/decision process. They all research the topic I hope to research, so I wanted to keep those connections.
  3. I was told by a prof ~a week ago that hopefully we'd hear back within a week, so I'm guessing they sent their recommendations last week and are just waiting for the graduate school to figure out the funding and approve it. So it should be soon
  4. Anybody who's been to an interview/recruitment weekend have any tips? Starting to feel nervous about an upcoming one and could use some advice!
  5. @iam_sunshine I'm an applicant this round and I just had an phone interview for one lab, so I can tell you how that was! That's all I've had so far though. The professor asked why I wanted a PhD in I/O psych, what my dissertation topic would be if I had to pick one now, what my favorite and least favorites parts of research were, why I was interested in that school/lab, whether I was interested in grants, and maybe a few more things I'm forgetting. I definitely recommend having "double-edged" questions for the interviewer -- meaning ones that tell them about you and what you're interested in as well as providing you with information you need. An example could be asking about research another faculty member does and whether there are opportunities for collaboration (showing you've researched other faculty members and have broad, well-matched interests for the department), or asking about department lectures/student groups/etc that you'd be able to be involved in (showing your interest in service/the community side of being a student). Take all of this with a grain of salt since I haven't heard back with a yes or no yet haha
