Same here ? 9 applications and only heard from 1. Although it looks like 2 other programs have started reaching out ? Trying to stay positive! I’m very excited to have an interview (and prepping for this one has made me even more excited about the prospects!) but I also want to feel like I have options!

Also was it a mass email or personal from POI? Thanks! I would also appreciate a DM of the POI. Did anyone hear back from the poster whether it was a mass email or personal?

PsychM Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Historically, the first full week after the new year has been one of the most popular weeks for clinical psych programs to begin reaching out to applicants. That is next week, January 7-11, so don't lose faith yet! ? justacigar, psychizkool, letsgetclinicalclinical and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gofer1996 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Congrats to everyone who got an interview from Nebraska! I was wondering if anyone (maybe from previous years) knows what the situation is with Nebraska if you did not get the rejection email (which was sent a couple days ago) but have also not received an interview email? jamesmp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgt2018 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 is it considered poor form to contact POI or grad admission department to check on your application status if you haven't heard from them? I'm wondering if my application got missed somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if my application got missed somehow. Personally, I would not do this. It’s early, school hasn’t even started back up yet. Unless you know that rejections have already gone out for the program I would just wait. Some people are understanding, but others might be annoyed. Especially if they are deep in a pile of applications. Is there a way you can check your status on their website, or ApplyWeb? I would do that to make sure it submitted, if you’re saying you never got a confirmation that your application was submitted. Check to see that the payment went through, but I wouldn’t contact your POI. If you must, contact the grad admissions office, but I would still wait until the end of next week when everyone has been back for a full week. psychclin and PsychM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmk94 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Finally got my first interview invite! The recruitment weekend for the University of Toronto experimental psychology PhD program (not OISE clinical/counselling) is January 24th & 25th. Felt like this fits better in this thread rather than the Canadian Clinical Psych thread, as my area of interest is not clinical. SO excited!

Your POI may have just not sent anything to you just yet, or they may wait-list you for an interview (UNL has done this in the past). I would give it at least until next Thursday to hear something, and then contact the admissions coordinator on Friday if you haven't heard back.

I'm wondering if my application got missed somehow. I agree with @Psyhopeful, I would not do this. If you applied for clinical programs, it is still pretty early. Next week will be a very popular week for programs to reach out to applicants. And a lot of interviews take place mid-February so some programs may not even begin to contact applicants until after next week. It is unlikely that your application was missed as admissions committees tend to be well-oiled machines. I think emailing anyone involved in the admissions process, especially a POI, would not make you look very good. Even if you applied to a non-clinical psychology PhD program, I would say it is still pretty early and to just try to be patient. If it is a program that you know has already sent out interview invites then just keep in mind that it is not unheard of for programs to send rejections weeks or even months later... Many programs won't send rejections, even to people they did not invite to interview, until after their interview day(s) in case they need to dip back into the applicant pool for some reason. Last year I received a rejection by mail from a program I did not interview with in JUNE! Again, just be patient and remember many of us are experiencing the same thing as you so we all understand it is very hard to be patient, but you will get through it!

Mickey26 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (posted this on the Canadian thread, but it should be helpful for y'all as well) Good luck to everyone who has an interview coming up--and for those who are still waiting, don't lose hope yet I found this while checking out the 2018 threads, and found these to be similar to the questions I was asked in my interview. Clinical Psychology Potential Interview Questions: http://www2.tulane.edu/sse/psyc/news-and-events/archive/upload/InterviewQuestions.pdf Thought this might be a good starting point! psychclin, Psyhopeful, hopefulgrad2019 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychizkool Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Does anyone have examples of questions in interviews you've experienced or heard about that were unexpected? I am trying to prepare myself for as much as possible to prevent nervous rambling if an unforeseen question catches me off guard. I know most are pretty straightforward (research experience, interests, etc.), but I would love to hear about any trickier questions to be prepared for. For example, someone posted earlier in this thread about being asked to name specific publications with authors/dates/etc they had read recently (or something very similar to this). 1|]010ls10o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first time applying, so I frantically emailed grad students/profs that I knew for tips about the interviews. Uncommon questions include: What skills do you want to develop? (ie motivational interviewing) **Ensure you read the papers you cited in proposals, etc. B/c they do test for that Do you have a support system/how tied down are you?

Hope that helps I have been asked the first one before. Though they phrased it more like specific things I wanted to learn about in grad school (i.e. statistical analyses and research methodologies). I've also been asked: how I would manage my time as a grad student between classes, research, teaching responsibilities, and etc. what my dream research project would be if there were no restrictions/constraints regarding resources (I've been asked this a few times) and vice versa, a research project I could pursue that would be feasible for a first year graduate student (i.e. with limited resources) Most of the other questions I've been asked were about my research experiences and interests, as well as why I was interested in their lab specifically. psychizkool and 1|]010ls10o 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
