Email from University of Denver:
Dear Applicants to the Clinical Child PhD program at the University of Denver,
We are delighted to learn that you applied to our program. We wanted to let you know about the procedures and dates for our admissions process this year.
We are currently reviewing applications and expect that this process will continue through mid-January. Some, but not all, faculty who are interested in accepting a clinical child doctoral student will be holding phone or video interviews with prospective candidates prior to deciding on final interview invitations. This means that you may or may not hear from a faculty mentor about a preliminary interview. (Some faculty prefer this step in their selection process, whereas others do not.)
The faculty conducting preliminary interviews will be doing this in late December or early January. If you do hear that you are invited to do a preliminary interview, please respond as soon as possible because these need to be conducted within a tight timeframe. If you do not hear about a preliminary interview, this does not necessarily mean you are not being considered for a final interview.
Our interviews will be virtual this year and will take place on Friday, February 19th and Monday, February 22nd.
If you are invited for an interview, you will be notified by the end of January at the latest so you can plan accordingly. You do not need to contact us to inquire about the status of your application, as the Graduate Program Administrator will try to inform those who are not invited as soon as this is known.
