Has anyone heard anything from UT Austin yet? Seems like someone should've heard by now but I couldn't find anything for social on the results page. 

I'm in the same boat as you-- no word yet either.

[Waiting272]

Any one got news from TC Columbia for clinical psychology post interview? The initial invite letter said 3/1.

Nothing yet. I was told they would meet and notify even earlier. 

[paraent]

To the poster on the results page that got accepted to Montclair State University- congrats!! Can you please message me your POI initials?

[Psychologyislife]

I’ve been accepted at Uniformed Services University (USUHS), woohoo!

If there is anyone else who got accepted (Civilian and/or Military tracks), I would love to meet my future cohort mates! Send me a PM! ?

Jees, rough week for me. I got rejected from UCLA & UM-College Park, both of which were very kind responses to my inquiry email to my POIs.

On the otherhand, the response from my UCI POI was a waitlist! First rounds are out, but I'm not out of the running.

Had my last interview this weekend. (Thank goodness. I'm so sick of travel.) Now to play the waiting game.

Did you have an interview at UMD? I interviewed and I think I must be waitlisted because I know at least one person got accepted, but I haven't heard anything. [Sorry you didn't get in!!]

[TrustedTheProcess]

Had my last interview this week as well! I feel like I've spent the past 3-4 months just waiting and waiting. Now I'm been waitlisted at two places and I'm still waiting. Ugh.

I have had the same thing happen to me... I am trying to think positively. One school I am waiting to hear back from one school and hoping for good news.

Love ur username haha.

 

The wait is horrible - but the waitlist is not the end! (I made it of and into my top choice)

[ArchieMJ]

Anyone apply to the Applied Psychology PhD Program at Portland State University (PSU)? Anyone get anything? I didn't get an interview and I believe interviews were going out late January/early February. Is it safe to assume I've been rejected?

I got into Cornell!!!

Congratulations, that's amazing! Was this for the Human Development department?

About to sign the contract for my back up plan job...bitter sweet. Grateful for a good back up plan but it’s definately feeling harder than I expected to let go of the PhD dream for this year. Haven’t heard anything at all from my top two choices which isn’t helping on the closure front. How’s everyone else dealing with the disappointment? Congrats to everyone who has been successful this season!

I'm in a similar boat  - I received an offer but I'm not sure if I'll be accepting cause of the low funding package. I still haven't heard back from my top choice either. I'm not sure if I should accept my back up job offer or the 1 PhD program offer. I'm too nervous to get completely rejected next year if I don't go with my only option this year!

I'm in an similar boat. Some Stuff (tm) happened during this interview cycle that put me into the position of REALLY needing a fully funded program. Initially I was going to be happy with partial funding + taking out loans, but that's not the case anymore. All three of my current offers are not funded, and of the fully-funded programs I applied to, three rejected me and two have been radio silence since interview day. Sighh

No interview, so I assumed this was the case. I reached out to my POI, and she told me. My portal has not changed. She said that official letters should be going out in the next few weeks.

[yeahsouh]

I'm also in the waitlisted-at-my-top-two-programs boat and I'm so exhausted and feel like I need to resign myself to anything and begin moving on,  but I just can't peel myself entirely away. 

[letsgetclinicalclinical]

I’m waiting to hear back from my top choice! They said it would take 2 weeks so I’m waiting with bated breath! 

[Quant2019Fall]

To the UC Davis poster who got accepted to the psychology program, can you PM me. It’d be great to talk to you about it as I’ll be joining the quant psych in the fall.

I know there doesn't seem like much rhyme or reason to the application and acceptance process but I've gotta think that if you got an offer this year, with another year of awesome-ness under your belt you'd get even more next time, if you decide to wait it out.

Yes it was

[philopsych]

Update on Wake Forest: They said they should be sending out decisions later this week.

I'm really hoping for this because I just totally bombed an interview (though it wasn't my fault, so I don't feel too bad about it).
