Anyone know the stats on how many people in the psychology field get the Ford Fellowship? I applied but felt like there were no resources on how to have a competitive application so it felt like a shot in the dark.

University of Wisconsin-Madison Clinical Psychology PhD! Super excited

Anyone else get their soul crushed when a potential PI talks about how they are SURE you have SO many offers and that they think you have an amazing career ahead of you...but then reject you? I know it's them trying to be nice, but when the reality is that I have no firm offers, it just adds insult to injury when they are asking me to contact them when I "decide where I'm going".

I think I saw somewhere that UNM's interview weekend is on March 6. I'm also anxiously waiting to hear back from them.
I talked to a clinical faculty member over the phone on Monday and she confirmed the date is March 6th.

Regarding all the debates over how many offers to hold onto - Do you file some sort of case/explanation for why you're holding on to more than 2 offers at a time or does someone/a group come after you if you are holding onto multiple offers? Automatic withdrawals of acceptances? Or is this just some general courtesy?
quick edit: This is my first time doing the graduate apps and I was not aware of this matter until recently. Just want to know how it works and what to do...
It's general courtesy. No one tracks how many offers a person has. It's just a nice thing to do to make sure all applicants feel like this process is as fair as it can be (which is a hard task in general).

If the University of Rochester poster sees this, would you be willing to send me the initials of the PI you accepted an offer from? Congrats!!!

I am certainly no expert, but that sounds like a totally reasonable thing to do. Worst case maybe you can buy trip insurance if you need to change your flight.
Best advice I got from grad students in my lab is to book through Southwest if possible. They have no cancellation fees and you just basically get credit in your account to book another flight through them in the next year and pay the difference. This only helps if there are reasonable flights through Southwest for you and the area you're going to/coming from, but something to think about!

I received an interview invitation directly from my POI. The interview day is on 1/31. Not sure if there is also a later date since I have not seen other posts about Madison...
I also received an interview invitation for Wisconsin-Madison from my POI which was followed up by the director on 12/30. This was after a phone interview on 12/18
Best Bipolar Disorder Research in Clinical Psychology Programs?

Try broadening your search to more than just bipolar disorder. A lot of PI's are into more transdiagnostic approaches, so it has been common to study psychosis spectrum related disorders like schizophrenia, schizoaffective, bipolar, and major depression together in the same grant. There's a consortium group that focuses on Cognitive Neurocomputational Task Reliability & Clinical Applications that is running an EEG study on that transdiagnostic population-- hope this helps! Other than that, what the other poster said is super valid too. Familiarize yourself with the literature and what topics interest you the most and you'll start seeing names popping up over and over or being cited a bunch. Here's a list of the PI's associated with the consortium I mentioned above.
