Rejection from NIH-OxCam stings
it was my first choice. Lucky to have other options, but damn... they really dragged me through three days of recruitment and interviews just to give me the axe.

Congrats on the acceptances!
When did you get JHU PBS offer? And if it's alright who was your PI of choice?
Edit: Also, why aren't you considering UPenn neuro?
Sorry just saw this. Got the PBS offer a couple weeks ago. Co-mentored by Drs. Barrett and Chen.
w/r/t UPenn neuro, I'm still slightly considering it, but they don't have a lab that does work in my specific area

What are you basing your presumed UT Austin rejection on? Just wondering because I haven't heard anything either.
There was a chunk of people that heard a couple weeks ago but nobody since. I haven't heard anything, therefore I assume I'm not getting invited to an interview. I'm starting to assume I'm not getting an interview from Stanford either, but haven't quite lost hope yet.

Do people know generally whether/when schools send rejection emails? I was hoping to know for sure about which schools I was rejected from by the time I start interviews

I think they show number... But you'll get an official email eventually but i heard that doesn't come until a couple of weeks. So basically, the waiting game is playing hard.
oh i meant there was a number but it was unsaved in my contacts. wish i could go back and see area code!

I think their invites are rolling basis and not all in one day? I received a phone call from stanford's area code, but no one left a voicemail and no email (i think emails pour out later next week), i tried calling back line is busy, anyone have any idea on how they work?
I got a call today from an unknown number but my phone died while it was ringing ? no idea if it was Stanford or spam lol and i can't see the number anymore

anyone here applying to clinical psych programs? doesn't it seem like most schools for clin psych programs have not sent out invites yet?
I heard from duke

JHU Psych and Brain Sciences committee is meeting today to decide interviews!

That was me! I only found out I got rejected by emailing the program coordinator directly. If you haven't yet heard from them, I think it's safe to assume rejection.
Wow. That does not bode well lol. What does "NHW" mean in your bio mean, btw?
-
UT Austin is confusing me. Apparently someone received a rejection email (and they had insane stats). And a few have reported interviews. Haven't heard anything myself...

I'm guessing UPenn is sending out more invites since I've only seen 1 on GradCafe. Can anyone confirm this?
looks like a second person posted an interview invite, but from Dec. 7th which is hard to believe

Just now, PsychApplicant2 said:
I don't think they have to fight...from my understanding, and anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the department lays out how many students they can take that year depending on funding. But I think it's really all dependent on funding.
But if 10 PIs want students and there's only 5 spots...

For real, I wish I were more bio oriented. Otherwise I could have just done pre-med and gone onto psychiatry instead. ?
That's what I'm thinking about doing. Many post-bacc programs are only one year to do all the med school prereqs!
-
Do PIs basically have to fight over taking students? Because it seems like there are way more faculty than the amount of students they let in at a lot of programs.
-
Is this Fall going to be any different than other years?
I don't think I'm going to wait multiple years to apply personally. I can't just put my life on hold for something that I have no guarantee of getting.
-
Jesus christ guys. The thing is if you apply and don't get in, that can easily be a year of your life wasted. I think I'm going to apply this Fall but also apply to post-bacc premed programs and consider med school a "backup" as crazy as that sounds.

Lmao I think clinical psych is the only corner of the universe where med school would even be considered as a backup. I'm starting to think about backups myself- I've been in the same full-time RA job for close to 3 years now after undergrad, and I'm in a tight spot where I wouldn't be sure what to do/what additional qualifications would be available to me in this position if I'm faced with all rejections. I would strongly consider an M.A. (I applied to a couple as well as backups), but I haaate how expensive they are- it's why I opted for an RA job in the first place.
I'm in pretty much the exact same position! But there's just no guarantee even if you have all the right qualifications.
3 minutes ago, PsychApplicant2 said:Masters Programs or full time RA/CRC/Project manager positions in labs... but even those are really hard to come by
I'm in a full-time research coordinator position now, which is great and I'm lucky to have it. But it's by no means a long-term job. I make 35k haha.
-
What do people normally do as backups? Masters programs? Med school?

Wow... I thought I wanted to do a Clinical Psych PhD, but these acceptance rates are crazy!! I consider myself a competitive applicant, but when the acceptance rates are so low, how can you plan for anything??
I see some really good research matches at OHSU, for example, but someone on the results page has a 4.0 GPA Clinical Psych Masters and a 3.96 Undergrad GPA, plus research experience, and they didn't even get an interview...
According to their website, the average is 44.5 months of research experience.... what the heck?? That's four years!
I'm so sad right now...I wish these programs weren't so ridiculously competitive.

Any updates on UT Austin? The only place I've heard nothing from. Nobody has posted acceptances or rejections on the results page...
