It's depressing to read through this thread. I'm very sorry guys... Some of you seem to have excellent applications and I feel surprised that such solid credentials didn't guarantee at least one spot. I have to say that professors and admissions committees are very opportunistic in the selection process and it's never possible to know how they'll treat your application even if you're brilliant. Perhaps some of you can try looking beyond American schools? If you have an MA or MS, some European schools can be good options (they don't accept those with only bachelors degrees). Further away, there're some excellent research programs in Asia, where the economy is less affected and funding opportunities are abundant. In fact, some programs in Asia are attracting top-notch researchers these days with great grants and research projects so working with these people can be extremely promising for your future as well.

It is indeed bad news for me. But thank you for the info! All the best to you!

It's indeed terrible news for me. But thanks for the update and good luck in your applications!

Thanks Watson! Do you happen to know roughly when their interviews were held in previous years?

Has anyone heard anything from Stanford Social Psychology?

Does anyone know the status at Stanford Social Psych? I haven't heard anything from them and can't seem to find any of their news in the Results Survey here either.

Hi are you interviewing with NYU Social? I'm currently in the interviewing process too. Do you mind PMing me your POI? I'll be happy to share mine with you too.

Hi! I'm on the same waitlist too. I subtly asked them how many are on the waitlist but they didn't give me a number. They only said it's a very selective list. Btw do you mind me asking who's your POI? Mine is Fiona Lee.

Has anyone applied to Social Psych in Stanford and heard anything? Do they normally require interview for admission? Anyway, all the best everyone!!!

Hi, congrats on the interview invitation! I also applied to U of T Social Psych but haven't heard anything yet. Did you receive your invitation via phone, email, or website? My status on their website is still "under review". I probably shouldn't have high hopes by now. Also, do you mind me asking who's your POI?

I'm guessing it depends on the program and your POI. I saw on the results survey that some people applying to the NYU Social Program (to which I applied too) got interviewed as early as late Jan. However, I got my first call to schedule an interview only on 7 Feb.
