i interviewed on 3/22 and loved it. it was a group discussion where you are with a professor and break into teams. you debate a topic on both sides. then there’s a writing portion, a 1:1 interview with faculty, and a current student panel at the end. good luck to you! i’m hoping to hear back this week. 

I posted this on Friday and I just received an unofficial acceptance email from my PI. I have been crying tears of joy for the past hour. 
this is my third cycle trying and I’m so glad I never gave up. I am beyond excited for this. I want to make my kids proud!
please please don’t give up! Even if you don’t get in this round, so what..start now getting things together and ready for next cycle! 
 
please pm me if you have any questions/feedback/tips, anything!!!!

I just interviewed two weeks ago and am hoping to hear back this week or next. have you been accepted?

so i received rejections from all 9 schools applied to initially. all colorado ph.d. programs plus u of wyoming ph.d. had my breakdown, cried a lot of tears, blah blah blah. however, in late january, i found five more programs with application deadlines in feb-march:
divine mercy university psy.d (i interviewed here in 2019 while i was still in undergrad and strongly believe the reason i didn't get in then was because i was so young and only had volunteer clinical experience + 2 years of research. now, i graduate with my master's in may and have two years of clinical experience)
PCOM psy.d
midwestern university glendale psy.d
midwestern university downer's grove psy.d
palo alto clinical ph.d.
if you know anything about any of these programs, please let me know! i know midwestern has a bad reputation on reddit and student doctor network, but i wanted to see what yall had to say, as this thread is WAY more positive and supportive. Also, moratorium on the cost of these programs, i am so tired of reading so much negativity surrounding this topic on student doctor network and reddit lmao. 
i received an official interview for DMU today, which i am really excited and confident about (they also offered me a 25% tuition reduction if i am accepted, which i am THRILLED about)

this is super disappointing, as i connected really well with POI CB over email before applications were submitted. our research interests overlapped significantly as he researches trauma due to natural disasters and i was in 3rd grade when hurricane katrina hit louisiana (my home state); not to mention all of the other hurricanes i have lived through. he actually aided in helping katrina victims and the state after the fact.
