Anyone who got interviews, waitlisted, or accepted to U Michigan for LH and/or CM please PM me to share your experience? I would like to know how to improve my profile for the next round...

Did Michigan Ann Arbor already announce who's being accepted? Or is the interview weekend coming up?

If you posted about getting accepted to Notre Dame, would you mind PMing me? Thank you in advance!

I am also waiting! Would you mind messaging me the POI information as well? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for sharing! I did wonder about the hassle/extra cost of international travel but totally missed that the international students would cost much more than domestics... And I also agree that the matter is not discriminatory and highly depends on more objective factors as you discussed (budgeting, etc). Thanks again for sharing and best luck with you apps!!

A random question to anyone who's been to in-person interview events: How internationally/racially diverse were your peer interviewees? I've been to one so far and out of about 25 interviewees (across all areas), there was only one international/non-white applicant. Rest were all phenotypically Caucasian/domestic applicants, including myself. Perhaps it was a coincident this year or the school's located in Midwest, etc, but just was a bit surprised to think about it during the department's presentation about the diversity effort. I simply got curious and wanted to hear about other's experiences. I do NOT mean to stir up any negativity, discrimination, micro-aggression, or else. I am hoping to meet applicants with colorful background at my other interviews.

Anyone knows what's going on at Rochester, U Washington, or UIUC?

Thank you both for sharing!

Sorry for a consecutive post - I can't find a way to edit my previous post! I would also appreciate it if anyone is willing to share their thoughts/info on the general sense/reputation of ND's psych phd program. I am very interested in the school and would like to know more than what the school proposes, however, could not find much casual opinions about it (e.g., past posts on Grad Cafe). Please do share!

Anyone applied to Notre Dame? I am quite blind to their admissions process and can't find enough information about it other than one result post back from early December.

Thanks for the reply! I needed that affirmation to really hold myself back. Yes, the waiting and self-maintenance part is the toughest part in this process.

Hi Grad Cafe, I have completed the final interviews for my top choice last Friday and I am satisfied with how everything went. The last faculty I spoke with wasn't my primary or secondary mentor, thus she said that I should check back in with my primary faculty for further details about what's next and told that the faculties will meet in the next week or two to make the final decisions. So I emailed my primary faculty that afternoon, briefly expressing my excitements from meeting the faculties/for the potential training opportunity at the school and politely asking for what to expect next. However, I haven't heard back yet My subjective self is going down the rabbit hole - worrying if she is no longer interested in me, lost my email and thinks I am not enthusiastic about her/the school (this. I absolutely not want it to be the case), etc. My objective self is guessing that she is waiting on responding until the faculties meet for final decisions to be able to give me the finite news. Should I be worried about this silence and try sending a follow-up email this Friday or just wait until she responds?
