  1. I'm in social psychology, not clinical psych but yes the vast majority of clinical psych programs hold interviews. You can check out the Psychology thread for more information: http://forum.thegradcafe.com/forum/8-psychology/
  2. Ok, I love this thread. I feel like I really belong here! I haven't broken down in front of my advisor (or any of my profs) yet, but actually I'm surprised I haven't. I came very close a few times last year but for whatever reason I've been able to hold back until I was alone. Maybe because I hate crying in front of others...although that hasn't stopped me before. Like you all I have been going crazy waiting. Usually if I'm submitting a paper to a conference or manuscript to a journal I can just submit it and forget about it. But this, not one bit. I actually was fairly calm for a month or so, but lately as each day passes I get more and more anxious. I noticed that a lot of the "calmer" posters already have an acceptance or two, whereas the more anxious ones don't and I think that is a huge factor. I know that if I get an acceptance then I'll calm down a lot, as a lot of my anxiety revolves around not getting in (I've done this before...). I realize that getting an acceptance brings up other issues, but I'd like to experience those for a change. :-)
  3. In my case, the "interview" with graduate students was more of a casual conversation. They asked the candidates a few questions but they were pretty basic, whereas the majority of the time was spent answering any questions the candidates had. So my advice is to prepare to answer some questions but also have a number of questions for you to ask the graduate students. These can be along the lines of questions about the specific program to questions about nearby cities.
  4. If the poster that was rejected from Indiana - social is around would you please PM me?
  5. Not at all grad school related, but I finally hit the 25 lb weight loss mark! :-)
