Hi there! I am a recent MAPSS Psychology graduate (within the last four years) and will be starting at top PhD program in a psychology adjacent field this fall. Overall, i had a great experience at MAPSS but I knew people both within psychology and in other tracks who had less pleasant experiences. One thing to keep in mind that they may not tell you as an applicant is that they strongly discourage you from apply for a PhD during your MAPSS year. This is mostly because when apps are due in the fall, you will not have benefitted from MAPSS yet or have relationships for strong letters of recommendation. I do think that MAPSS prepared me well to do research and apply for a PhD and I did not feel like I had to fight for attention or that I was in a "cash cow" program. I do think that my preceptor was particularly fantastic and that that relationship can make or break the MAPSS experience. Happy to answer any questions you might have.

Northern California! How about you?

Has anyone heard back from Rotman marketing? I have already accepted an offer elsewhere but never heard anything after my Rotman interview.

Has anyone heard back from Rotman (Toronto) Marketing? I have already committed elsewhere but just find it odd that I never received a decision post interview.

I hear you! I am also mostly deciding between 2 programs!

So how is everyone doing? How are decisions coming along? Personally, I am struggling to make a choice and want to have this process done with.

From the forum, it looks like HBS has already interviewed, not sure about Stern...

For which program?

Unfortunately, probably. Did you have an interview? They let me know I was on the waitlist after my interview. Best of luck!

I hope you get an offer! I am unlikely to attend!

I also interviewed and have not heard - I was just assuming I was rejected...

I got a rejection from MIT marketing in my portal yesterday if that gives you a data point at all.

Congrats! Me too! Are you Marketing?

I applied to kellogg marketing and haven't heard anything!
