The DCT at Virginia Tech let me know that some first offers have been extended and "because of the new budget, we must now wait on replies from those before making further decisions." I think this means either my POI extended an offer to someone else or he no longer gets a guaranteed spot for a grad student. Ah, going nuts, if either of the other applicants who interviewed with JR are on here could you please message me!

I dont think it would be weird to check in.

I got an email on Monday from my PI saying decisons will take longer this year because they have to redo the budget due to two professors (probably a couple?) announcing they were going to be leaving just last week.

Does anyone know when UW Milwaukee is making their post-interview decisions for clinical psych? Virginia Tech? Northwestern (weinberg)?

I interviewed with UGA last week and looks like someone got accepted today, I'm wondering if they can let me know which POI it was, can DM me if more comfortable. Thanks

I thought those were referring to the developmental clinical science program, which accepts right away without interview. Some people put it in as Dev. Clinical Science and some just did Clinical Psychology but referred to 'ICD' in their comments. One did not, but odd that interview offers would go out for Minnesota and only one person would post about it.

At what point should I reach out to Minnesota Clinical Program to ask about timeline for interview offers and interview days? It seems like no one has heard yet from them and they are my top choice. This is not applicable for ICD which is all that has been posted on results so far, I think.

Did anyone interviewing with UGA get their interview schedule sent to them yet? My interview is Monday and I will probably email them by Friday if there is no word from them.

Minnesota (clinical psych and not ICD) is making me lose my hair, it is my top choice and it is radio silence.

Oh when did that happen?

Any intel on Minnesota, Northwestern Wein., or UPitt and their timelines? Clinical

I'm referring to Clinical. I know nothing for sure, i was just going off last year because their invites went out around this time and something in me just thought they would tell people before Feb 1st. I guess I was wrong.

Anyone else super nervous that Minnesota will extend invitations today??? I'm looking at my phone and email and really hoping.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this predicament. After applying three times, and feeling like a nuisance to my recommenders, I really don't know what to do if I don't make it in. I want to do research, not just be a clinician, so alternatives are looking scarce. I'll move with my partner and contemplate trying again, but it is hard not to feel hopeless.

Anyone else on the same boat where they have a partner also applying to PhD programs right now? They have 8 interviews and will probably get accepted to many (50-70% acceptance rate for his program if you have an interview), but only one of my schools that I have an interview with is nearby. Life is just crazy right now.

It is possible they are sending out the rejections in waves. But also quite commonly, schools will not reject if you are on a 'waitlist' to be interviewed. If someone cancels their interview last minute, they may go down this waitlist. It is just to have back-up plans if their interviewees back out, etc. I have not received any rejection either so same boat here.

I feel this. I have never received feedback or tips for next time. I've heard that most credits from master don't transfer in PhD and you have to redo a thesis anyways, I'm not sure if anyone can speak to that. I know spending money on a masters is daunting to me, so I feel how disappointing that is to hear. While that PI recommended it, I know that other PIs would recommend differently so don't take that as the only solution.

Hello, Does anyone have information about whether all invites have been sent out for: Case Western Wayne State George Mason Georgia State University Ohio University (not OSU) Northwestern (Weingberg) U of Pittsburgh And does anyone know when Minnesota is suppose to extend their invites? I'm crossing my fingers for this week. And has anyone heard from CT at GSU? and RB at WUSTL? thank you in advance and DMs are welcome as well

This is my third time applying and for me it has always been this bad (hence why I applied to so many schools). For my current PI who applied over 30 years ago, it sounds as if it was slightly less competitive but still pretty tough. I wish there were solutions we could suggest if forming an open letter, but at this point it has to do with # of people able to take students and funding affecting that greatly. I wish PIs in other departments would regularly take clinical students and advertise as such on the main websites (psychiatry and neuroscience PIs take people but not often and sometimes not specified on website). And I wish that clinical psych would be prioritized more when it comes to funding, imagine if we were like Bio PhDs who takes classes of 20-50 every year and have students do rotations before finalizing their lab. That would be an ultimate goal for clinical psych, but I don't know that the field/institutions are even considering moving that way.

I guess this isn't the case since I have received this email today and I applied to general track. I'm lost too.

I applied to the general clinical program POI = RL. I received the GSU email this morning too.

Still very curious what is going on with WUSTL (RB), Wayne State (CT) and Minnesota (BKD). I'm very anxiously awaiting information from these schools. Has anyone heard from the POIs I listed above?

Does anyone know if the CUDCP calendar was correct that UNC Greensboro and U Michigan had to send out all invitations by yesterday 01/12? Not sure if I should cross off list, haven't seen anything on page regarding my two PIs (BW and IT, respectively).

As in all PIs from University of Michigan have sent out formal invitations? I applied to POI: IT

I just want to check in with this page that my assumptions are likely correct. I can assume I'm rejected from the following because these schools have only one interview day(s) and these are coming up: Ohio State University University of Utah Temple University Thank you all. So far I am waitlisted for UW Milwaukee and have an interview for UGA.
