I got a PM from someone who emailed the social psych coordinator at UNC-CH. All interview invites have been sent out.

Nothing from UNC Social.

It's entirely possible, as all my POIs have joint appointments in other departments. I think I will call, just for peace of mind if nothing else. Thanks!

Apparently a mass rejection email went out for Duke CNAP. I didn't get an interview invite, but I didn't get the rejection email either. Checked my online app status and there's been no change. Whattttt. I don't even know what to make of all this anymore.

2nd round. Didn't get in first round, except for a consolation Master's offer at U Chicago which I did not accept. I'm applying mostly the same places, but a few new ones. Last time I applied all top-10 (Ivy League, Stanford, you get the idea) and this time I expanded though ... still top-15. Which might be my problem this year. Of course I don't have a whole lot of alternative options, as my research interests are pretty niche, I don't want to take the subject GRE, and I want to be competitive on the academic job market.

I was pretty solid on the verbal actually, so I focused on the math and general tactics for figuring out answers to questions. Keep in mind I took the old GRE.

I got back from study abroad 2 weeks before my test, so I studied 4 hrs/day every day (except for the day before the exam) and did really well.

Cornell interviewees - Can you PM me your POIs? Thanks in advance!

Congratulations! If I may ask, what changed between times 2 and 3? I'm on my second time applying and only have one interview so far, so I'm starting to get a bit nervous, haha.

I grew up in the South myself and am pretty accustomed to small communities. But I'm in the Midwest now and about 8 people show up to Erev Shabbat services at my small Reform/Conservative shul. (One of the only synagogues in the country with affiliations to both movements!) It's the only synagogue in town. Nearest mikveh, for Orthodox folks, is 1.5 hrs away. There are a lot of undergrads at Hillel, but I always feel a bit weird since I'm at least 3 years older than most of them. And of course there's Chabad, but I've never gone in for that sort of thing. Durham, NC (where I grew up) had several Reform, Reconstructionist, and Conservative shuls between it and neighboring Chapel Hill. There was also a mixed UNC/Duke Chabad and each school had a Hillel (and even Jewish Greek life, though I didn't participate). Raleigh (nearby-ish) has a mikveh and some Orthodox shuls as well as the more progressive movements. That's my contribution, I suppose, as the other place where I've lived has been covered already.

Brown CLPS interview invite people, can you PM me your POIs? Thanks and congratulations!

wrong thread

UNC invites are supposed to go out today. Who else is waiting with bated breath?

Also, Brown. Thanks!

People with Stanford invites?

Wondering the same about Boston College. Anyone know?

I'd say it means you're being very seriously considered!

People with Stanford interview invites: which program did you apply to? Are all invitations extended? (Can't find contact number on website to call and ask.) Thanks!

I wish I wasn't out of upvotes.

Travel or join some kind of service association (Peace Corps, Americorps, etc.). Then apply again.

Same here. >.> Happily I'm also FB friends with my grandmother, so I don't post anything embarrassing. EVEN SO.

Wouldn't it be great if there were a way to PM the people who post on the results search and have them stay anonymous? I feel like no one ever gets PMs when requesting POI names, probably because people are concerned about their privacy. But damn, the UNC one is killing me!

Just social! So no worries yet.
