I'm sure this is an overly neurotic question, but would you mind sharing what time you received that email? I get so antsy every time I get a notification on my phone and it would be nice to know if I shouldn't look for an email until after 5 pm, for example.

This might not be my year but I am hopeful I will find the place for me eventually! Would you mind sharing your stats at all if you have a moment? Sure! Please just don't measure yourself up to it! I may have a good packet but I definitely missed out a lot on college experiences and getting to truly enjoy myself (I've been stressed out my four years!) The only thing it really helped me with was securing aid which I couldn't afford without. GPA: 3.92 double majoring in Psychology and Criminal Justice and am at the top 10% of my graduating class. I did not take the GRE. I've had two internships in working with sexual assault and domestic violence victims. I was a teacher's assistant for a class and I also have an on campus job. I'm President of my college's LGBTQ+ club and have been extremely active in the college community and working with administration around LGBTQ issues. I also identify as LGBTQ which may have leaned in my favor. I have done Psychology research my past four years at my institution and secured a highly competitive fellowship at Duke University.. one of my recommendations was from there. In general, I had really glowing reccs and a well written personal statement that I agonized over for several months.

I’m sure all that research will give you an excellent foundation for clinical practice, too. I’m with you - I originally wanted to be an academic before I realized how much I hated doing research, haha.

I’ve just resigned myself to not calling or emailing anymore, they’ll get back to me whenever they see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
