Sometimes I check my email, wait a couple seconds, and then refresh it again just to torment myself! Realistically, I’m aware it’s highly unlikely I hear from any schools before January (applied to Social and I/O). 

Same i've been refreshing my email and junk folder every hour. My university keeps sending me random emails that are irritating me because I'm getting heart palipations every time lol

Random question, but if a professor is accepting a new student this cycle, will they most likely not be taking a student next year?

It’s because for clinical the applicant pool at times is as many as all the other types combined

Yeah this is what's really stressing me out. I'll see one of my schools and go AHH!!!...and then see it's developmental, not clinical.

To everyone who is worried about GRE scores and whether or not some schools would even consider you as an applicant if you don't have a score above threshold X, please treat yourselves better throughout this time and pay little mind to those who would have you believe that it's either a great GRE score or failure.

I agree with this statement. I think the GRE doesn't really measure much of interest for psychology applicants. I feel like a low score can be made up for through the other components more easily than some people on here seem to think.

In my experience it depends on the size of that professor's lab! If they have a large lab and adequate funding, they likely take 1-2 students per year. Some others are much smaller and can only take 1 student every 1-2 years. But there are so many other factors that affect this (i.e. the professor might be taking some time off next year, one of their grad students didn't end up graduating on time, etc.) it's pretty hard to tell who will be taking students next cycle. I'd recommend emailing that PI when the app season ends and inquiring about their lab :)

Thanks! That is really helpful. I was late to the game this cycle, so I'm planning on getting ready to email as soon as this round dies down around April.

I have one more final on Monday but after that it's going to be hard not to obsess over results...I finished the personal statement for my app that's due in January.

Northwestern Feinberg (city campus) or northwestern university (Evanston campus)?

Not clinical! PD&H in Evanston

Just a quick update. I talked to a PI through skype today at NYU and she said the notifications for campus interview will be sent by X'mas. Different division may have different pace but we can expect it to happen before January lol. Pretty much freak out now. Hope they'll invite me for a formal interview.

Social or C&P??

I'm applying to development psychology in C & P but I believe their pace should be similar.

I get why they're not reviewing yet. Don't stop me from checking every few hours. It's mad nerve wracking.

To everyone who received an invite to interview at U Oregon for Counseling Psych - did you all receive emails from your POI or did you receive a mass email?

Posted

For those who have received interviews, or are in their second round of applications, do you tend to receive invites at a certain time of day? I noticed that Notre Dame sent invitations for interviews this time last year, and am deciding how often I need to frantically check my email (ND is my top pick).

I feel like if you look at the results page, a majority of the interviews being sent out are for counseling, developmental, and clinical. Even the clinical forum is showing much more interview invites than social, I/O, or cognitive.

In my experience it is totally random! I once recieved an interview by email on Christmas eve at 6pm and for another I got a phone call at 8:00 am two weeks after christmas (neither were for Notre Dame) but I wouldn't expect the time-of-day of notification to stay the same from year to year.

To the person who posted their acceptance at the University of Minnesota, what program did you get accepted to? :)

From previous years, it looks like UMN takes their sweet time. Especially in social.
