I completed a writing sample during an interview and can only speak to my experience but it was extremely low-key. We were able to turn off our screens and it did not require any prep ahead of time. Hope this helps!

I heard back - feel free to DM!

nothing.. 3 weeks out, wondering if a follow-up e-mail is in order or we should wait a little longer

Has anybody heard back from University of South Carolina since interview day?

They didn't give many details - looks like it's slotted to be 30-40 minutes and it's called a group activity with other applicants. No other details included

Has anyone here had experience doing a group interview (School Psych PhD) and care to share how it went/what it looked like? I have my first one coming up and am not sure what to expect.

did anyone here apply to Northeastern's PhD program? Have not seen much discussion about them anywhere?

Has anyone heard back from U of Minnesota's PhD program?

Apologies in advance if there is a better place to ask this - I'm not super familiar with school psych PhD programs or this particular forum, as I applied to clinical psych programs only this cycle. I am considering applying to school psych phD programs for the upcoming cycle, as I think they may better suit my interests/goals. I am having trouble, however, finding information about whether these programs are typically funded (which programs provide partial funding, full funding, RA/teahcing opportunities, assistantships, etc). If anyone is a dual clin/school psych PhD applicant or has any insights about how the programs compare with regard to funding, I would so appreciate it. Thank you and good luck to all!

My master's was in general-experimental psych (it was a 5 year program to complete my BA/MA), which included general psych classes (psychopathology, ethics, survey methodology, etc.) then additional training in advanced research methods and stats. I felt that the joint general-experimental emphasis prepared me well to pursue a PhD because it emphasized research, however it does lack that clinical component obviously since it's not a clin psych degree. Hope this helps!

I have not heard back from HPCS post-interview, either. Wasn't sure whether to take the person's post from yesterday to mean I was rejected... Did you receive the e-mail last week about their funding holding things up?

Anyone know if it is appropriate to ask the person you interviewed with when I can expect to hear back about a decision? It wasn't mentioned in my interview but I don't want to hurt my chances by asking something inappropriate. Thank you so much!

Anyone on here get an e-mail that they were waitlisted for UVA's clinical/school psych program? I've read about some schools sending out waitlist e-mails that really just stand in as a rejection so I'm wondering if anyone knows whether there is a legit waitlist. I'm a little skeptical considering I didn't even interview (unless it's a waitlist for an interview ?) Thanks!

Along these lines, I had thought that the components of my application were pretty well-balanced and fairly strong, which has led me to wonder a lot lately (after receiving no invites at all this far), which part of my application sunk me? It’s been driving me nuts the past few days and I’d like to know what specifically prevented me from getting in (for my next round of apps). Naturally, I just assumed there was some part of my application that turned off the admissions committee. Now that I’m reading others’ posts though, I’m wondering if there is a possibility that nothing was actually wrong, but it is really just that competitive. Anyone have thoughts about this? Or how we can receive closure about why we were ultimately rejected?
