rileyjj reacted to Schy in Fall 2021 Clinical & Counseling PhD/PsyD
I guess I did great during my preliminary interview because my POI just invited me to an official one next week and told me she was preparing an email to introduce me to her lab if I was still interested AND OF COURSE I AM. I am so shocked. On Monday when we had the preliminary interview, she told me to expect to hear from her in a few weeks..............its been THREE DAYS. I am so happy.

I get that you are worried, trust me, I am in the same position but crossing off the school from your list now or later won't really make a difference if you are going to be rejected (I hope that you aren't though!). I know it is easier said than done but the reality is that until January end, you just can't know what position you are in. We took months for our applications and understandably, the faculty will take time to send invites, some might send them all at once, some might do it differently. With COVID, even the most predictable things are unpredictable. If you are this worried about not getting in (at least I am haha), what's been helping me is slowly coming up with back-up plans; if you don't hear back from any schools till January end, then ramp up your efforts for the back-up plans. Crossing off the schools right away or later...would it really matter? You can't change your application anymore. It's a tough spot. Reach out if you wanna rant or get ideas for distraction, not that many people in our lives understand this experience as much as we do.

I found mine by looking at a university's "Career/Jobs Website." Just google desired university with "career/jobs," and you should find a webpage with a list of open RA positions that you can apply for.

There seems to be such an uptick in anxiety this year, and I just wanted to offer some perspective.
I'm on my third time applying, and each year I've learned something about myself through the application process. It's corny, but I wouldn't trade my experience for anything. In retrospect, it didn't work out in other years because it wasn't meant to be. I had more to learn from my current supervisors and mentors, I had the opportunity to find research labs to apply to this year that were a better fit for my interests, etc. That's not to say it didn't suck when I didn't get in the previous two years - it absolutely did. BUT remember that our careers have already started! We are already doing research and working in the clinical psych sector. Getting into a program is just an extension of that. There are a great deal of factors that influence admission to a program. It's not much solace, but so many qualified applicants don't get in each year. Don't give up!
All that to say, if it doesn't work out this year, take some time to grieve and then reflect on what you've learned, and how you can approach applications differently next cycle. To those that celebrate, Merry Christmas - take some time to be with family and enjoy life! There is much more to living than clinical psych applications.

Looks like someone got an informal interview (seen on the admissions results page). I applied there as well- fingers crossed!

I also haven’t heard back from them. Not sure how much we’ll be able to trust prior timelines with the increased apps though

Obviously this has been a stressful time and I keep refreshing all the things as sort of a compulsion to deal with my anxiety. However I've been trying to frame this time in this way:
This is a time of opportunity. I have applied to 7 schools I am excited about and because I have not heard either way about anything, there is still possibility for each one. I have my own separate fantasy of the research and I could conduct with each POI and what my day to day would be like at each location. Yes I could get no interview invitations, or if I do I could get no acceptances. However, in this moment my future is full of possibility and excitement and I'm choosing to be in that space (at least today - other days I'm filled with dread.)
I have no where else to express these musings so here we are

If it's at all reassuring, last year I received interview invites for 6 clinical psych phd programs ranging from December 26-January 22! I also know that due to the increased number of applicants this year that things may be taking longer (inside scoop from a clinical psych phd faculty). I recommend not being too harsh on yourself - it's quite early yet ❤️

From what I understand, profs hold prelim interviews with applicants they are on the fence about. So, if they already know you are a good fit for their lab, they might not feel the need to hold a prelim. I wouldn't worry until the formal invites come through.

It can be either. When I applied about 50% came from the grad coordinator or DCT, and 50% came from the POI.

I read on SDN from a faculty member that interview invites might not come until January. Hang tight, and don't worry if you don't get an interview invite this month!

Hi everyone, this is definitely just nerves hitting in but if we do get an interview email is it typically from the general grad application email address or the PI? My email has been filtering some grad emails as spam and even deleting them, so I'm going to play around in my settings to see what's going on, but knowing where to expect them from would be helpful!
