I'm like 98% sure this one is a rejection, so haven't been too preoccupied

I haven't!

I'm planning to release my offer from Rutgers (PsyD) within the next week or so. I hope it helps someone on the waitlist!

For those of you who received invites from St. John's, when is interview day? I haven't heard anything from them yet and wondering if I should assume a rejection is coming my way soon

Thanks for letting me know! I received mine 5 minutes after I posted here Hope your interview went well!

Anyone here also interviewing with Adelphi tomorrow? I haven't received the detailed schedule, and I'm worried they forgot to email it to me or something. I emailed the graduate studies coordinator who sent me the original invite but haven't heard back. Interview day starts at 10am tomorrow.

I think around 30 to 35 and they're accepting 5-8 students.

?? Mine too! A blank greeting card with two birds kissing each other and "besties" on top. I texted my best friend a picture of the box with "Thank you so much, made my day! Love youuuu". She texted back "I love you too, but this is not from me". LOL

I have a very random question. For those of you who received an interview invitation from George Mason, did anyone get a Starbucks gift package from them? They had previously asked me what my beverage preference is, and today I received this Starbucks gift package with two kinds of coffee, cookies, and a mug. None of my friends sent it, so I'm just wondering if it could be from GM given that they asked me if I prefer coffee, tea or hot chocolate If it's indeed from them, what a sweet gesture!

For those of you who applied to Suffolk and didn't receive an interview invite today, I reached out to admissions and here's what they said: "At this moment we have sent out our first round of invitations to interview for the program - they went out a little earlier today. That said, as people get back to us we may be extending a few more offers to interview. We will also be notifying some students this week or next that we are not going to pursue their candidacy at this time. I realize that doesn't give you a lot of information, but you should hopefully have a clearer idea of where you stand by the end of next week." I know I hate not knowing where I stand, so I hope this is helpful to someone here.

Unfortunately, if we haven't heard by 8pm, I think we can safely assume it's a rejection since they did say they will send all interview invites by the 19th. ?

Also, I think it depends on the program and the POI. Some programs are extremely research oriented and some programs are equal emphasis. Personally, I tried to be as forthright as possible in my statements because I don't want to end up in a place that's a bad fit for me/my future career goals.

One thing that always helps me deal with these painful setbacks is to stay focused on the big picture/long-term path. I always tell myself and others "In the grand scheme of things, will this matter in, say, 5, 10, or 15 years?". Probably not if you think about it. I'm going to take the rest of the day off to process this and try to relax. Tomorrow is a new day that will hopefully bring us other opportunities!

Hang in there! All the hard work will pay off eventually!

Me neither. This one hit me hard- it was one of my top choices
