Psyhopeful Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 48 minutes ago, ItPhBeLikeThatSometimes said: Yeah...I had a POI tell me in October that they weren't planning on taking a student, but to apply anyway. I decided not to apply, and saw on here that they ended up scraping funding together to make an offer to someone else :~) Another common thing is that multiple faculty may want to take on new grad students in the same year. If there are 2 spots and 4 faculty, certain faculty may take priority early in the process, but the committee may decide later on that someone else has better candidates to choose from. This is how it works at my current school. The department has a pool of money and the professors without tenure have priority in order to help them achieve tenure. After that it goes by who has students currently. My current mentor still has two current grad students while others had only one, or had just graduated their last and so told me that it would be unlikely they could take on another unless no one else wanted one, or they could scrape up funding from other sources to fund one. They did not think that would be likely.
meezy123 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I had a skype interview way back in December and haven't heard back since. Should I email my POI asking the status and if so, how should I word the email? HELP. Im so nervous.

spookycat Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Has anyone who got a phone call invite from East Tennessee State received the follow up email they mentioned yet? They called almost a week ago, and I was waiting for an email but knew I had a scheduling issue so I sent them an email letting them know I was very interested in interviewing and asking about alternate days or methods of interviewing, and still no word..

They just lost a faculty member due to brain cancer and are having a memorial this week. I think that's what the delay is due to.

Sophie Su Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Can the Uchicago poster share their POI's initials? Getting anxious here
AnxiouslyAwaitingDecisions Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I just spoke to someone in the psych department at Rutgers she said the faculty will be sending out interview invitations until the end of the month for clinical psychology Edited January 17, 2019 by AnxiouslyAwaitingDecisions 1|]010ls10o 1
paraent Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Kinda strange. Very few skype calls have popped up on the results page for UPenn, but this email is an invitation to a campus interview. I suppose Columbia was similar, though.

Waiting on the PsyD program Yeah I was on that page, read a PM telling me differently, then responded without reading the next page. I need to stop reading this forum on my phone. Knowledge is not power. It’s just anxiety here HAC 1
aaronburrsir Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 For anyone who got UPENN invitations, could you please please please DM the initials of the POIs?

paraent Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I'm fine typing here that the initials are RE. I imagine my last few posts are identifying anyway. I wish everyone the best; it's a shame that we all have to go through something so stressful. Edited January 17, 2019 by paraent Letitbedone and ResilientDreams 2
