    Thanks for the information! Do they make you write a statement during the interview? I have no idea what to write!! Lol. It does suck that psyd programs rarely offer any funding. I applied to 13 programs and this was the only school where I received an interview invite so I don’t have much of a choice! 

    You write it during your break or right after the interviews end, there’s a deadline. I wrote about tele-health becoming more mainstream, expanding our knowledge about mental illnesses and how to best treat them, decreasing stigmatization around mental illness, etc. I understand, I applied to 10 programs and NSU might be my only acceptance. I’d rather just try again and potentially get into a much better program with a small cohort and funding. The amount of debt that I would accrue at NSU would not be justified by the income I would make as a psychologist or even a professor.

    Interview to Nova Southeastern University. FINALLY! does anyone have any information on the types of interview questions this schools asks?

    I did an interview for the early deadline. The professor they paired me with had absolutely no common clinical or research  interests with me, which sort of bothered me. She asked about why clinical psychology, why Nova specifically, research interests, etc. Very soft-ball questions. And then most of the time was spent with me asking questions so make sure you have plenty prepared. They have you do break out rooms with students where you ask more questions. You’ll do a group activity with other applicants and you’ll have to write a short blurb about what the future of psychology would look like. TBH, I got accepted but I’m declining the offer. Absolutely no funding, not even if you TA/RA, and it’s in an incredibly expensive town. Plus your cohort is like 98 people...it just feels like a total diploma factory unfortunately. To each their own of course, but the debt and non-individualized attention is not for me.

    So I didn't realize U Houston had 2 JBs and 3 AVs all accepting students for 2021 (both my POI initials ahah) and now I don't know whether to be hopeful again? I was pretty certain I was an assumed rejection due to others posting invites from those POIs, but now I am conflicted. Anyone else in the same boat? ?

    Yes! I’m applying to JB(doing couple’s research) and I’m not sure if I should write U Houston off yet. I have so many schools that I’m assuming rejection from but I can’t say that for sure until like mid-Feb probably.
