It's my first round applying to clinical psych PhD programs (I will honestly have to apply again next year at this rate...), and this whole process has been so nerve-wracking to say the least I have one interview offer (which I'm really excited for actually, since it's among my top choices!). But as of now, I have 4 official rejections (e-mails, letters) and 7 pending (portal just says "submitted", etc), which is very discouraging since I felt my stats were decent (160V/157Q, 5.0W; 3.94 clinical psych Masters GPA; 3.87 undergrad GPA; 4+ years research experience with internationally recognized PIs, 2 publications, 10 poster presentations).
My question is.... at this point, is it most likely just going to be a rejection e-mail in March or April? Or is it somehow still possible to get on a "waitlist" in March or April without going on an interview in Jan/Feb? I don't know if I should just lose hope or if I shouldn't give up completely just yet. My guess (especially from reading past posts) is that it seems people end up on wait-lists AFTER going on an interview (in Jan/Feb), and that waitlists rarely happen for those who don't interview.... but just wanted to ask.

Hi everyone,
It's my first round applying to clinical psych PhD programs (I will honestly have to apply again next year at this rate...), and this whole process has been so nerve-wracking to say the least
I have one interview offer (which I'm really excited for actually, since it's among my top choices!). But as of now, I have 4 official rejections (e-mails, letters) and 7 pending (portal just says "submitted", etc), which is very discouraging since I felt my stats were decent (160V/157Q, 5.0W; 3.94 clinical psych Masters GPA; 3.87 undergrad GPA; 4+ years research experience with internationally recognized PIs, 2 publications, 10 poster presentations).
My question is.... at this point, is it most likely just going to be a rejection e-mail in March or April? Or is it somehow still possible to get on a "waitlist" in March or April without going on an interview in Jan/Feb? I don't know if I should just lose hope or if I shouldn't give up completely just yet. My guess (especially from reading past posts) is that it seems people end up on wait-lists AFTER going on an interview (in Jan/Feb), and that waitlists rarely happen for those who don't interview.... but just wanted to ask.
Thank you for your help!!
