I think that's it for this cycle for me. There's not really a point to this post other than maybe some kind of closure? I've checked this site countless times a day for so many months, but there's no need anymore, not right now anyway. But, I did want to say thank you to everyone who responded to my questions and everyone who has been so inspirational and kind. You all made my first process a little bit easier, so thank you. Might I even dare to say that I'll miss checking this site for awhile. Thank you all, please keep pushing, I am sincerely SO proud of all of you on this site. Go get those degrees! 

Agree...that is horrible! Why don't these programs get their funding worked out in advance of the interviews?

here's to another week of obsessively checking my email for any news post-interview ??

Could you message me too? And was it adult clinical psych or child clinical psych?

I didn't post the USC result but I know that the admissions committee is meeting next week and that official letters will be sent out next Tuesday.

I got an invite from UAlbany (PI: JF) in December.

Speaking of this Harvard fiasco, shouldn't they be dishing out refunds? Seems pretty sketchy to have people pay the application fee only for PIs to decide they aren't taking students during the app process...

Right! It is so frustrating..... I wish I had the courage to say something! I could really use that $100  (or whatever it was) right about now for interview travel expenses!

Thanks!
Good luck to everyone! I deduced that I received 0 invites this cycle and will try my best for the next cycle. For those with even just a single interview, know that hundreds of applicants would die to be in your shoes. I'm a bit heartbroken (0 invites from 10+ applications), but also have the foresight and resilience to get through another year. I'm just happy I get to finally take off these worry pants and go back to the focused grind.
Best of luck to those with interviews and those still holding out!

There's been some debate about Rutgers having sent out all their invites, but no one is real sure what's going on. I reached out but haven't heard back yet. 

Congrats! 

I would say that it is better to have a full suit. If you can endure the warmth to begin with, I would wear a jacket and a shirt with sleeves (maybe with breathable light material). Then, when you take your jacket off, you won't feel self conscious. In short, I agree with you, I wouldn't do sleeveless. 

I still haven’t got the official generic email although I have received an invite from poi so I’m guessing not all invites have been sent out. 

Okay now I’m here thinking “maybe all these schools that didn’t email me just forgot my invite” ??
