Assesta

Has anyone tried to contact the UIUC grad office via e-mail? I'm not getting any response;; which is probably a bad thing I'm curious to know if anyone received any good news from them

Just checked my status for U of Maryland "Not recommended for admission" Ouch-

Any updates on application status?

Did anyone else receive invitation to the recruitment weekend at Georgia Tech? What happens at these events exactly?

Yes, I was surprised as well. I believe their deadline was Jan 15th, and I think I sent in my application right around the first week of January. Anyway, I heard from Rice about a week ago and yes, I applied to their Ph.D. program. I think I got a quick response because I had strong letters of recommendation for this program. I applied to six programs: Rice, GA Tech, UIUC, Maryland, Penn State, Purdue. I'm not really counting on UIUC or Penn State though. 20 - 30 schools sounds like alot. I think especially in I/O psychology, people only send about 10 applications at most because most schools offer it as HRIR or OB in their business schools. Plus, that's where the money is

I haven't set up the exact time yet, but it's going to be sometime this week. I expressed in my SOP that I would like to work with both Drs. Ackerman and Kanfer. I got the interview e-mail from Dr. Kanfer, so I'll be meeting with her. I'm not really sure what to expect though...

Just got a phone interview offer from GA Tech, although from the message I got a sense that it's going to be more like a Q&A session.

Has anyone else heard anything yet? I got an email from a professor at Rice couple days ago saying I was waitlisted. I'm still waiting to hear from Penn State, Maryland, GA Tech, UIUC, and Purdue. Let's share some info to keep ourselves occupied while we wait anxiously for letters-
