Sherifoz Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Has anyone received feedback from Michigan State University, University of Minnesota, University of South Florida, or the University of Calgary?

To the best of my knowledge, no one on here has heard from USF. I'm still waiting to hear back from them and NCSU if anyone has information. ?

Joegeo Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I am just assuming the same students who got contacted from Michigan State also were contacted by USF hence no updates. Cronbachs Alpha 1

Was just at a recruitment visit and a fellow applicant stated they were visiting (don’t remember if interview or not) within the next couple weeks. So I assume they’ve already made contact with applicants. I hope this information is helpful!
FingersCrossed101 Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Has anyone heard anything form TAMU yet?

rmiller32 Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 GMU posted rejection letters on their portal on Friday. No emails went out. Go check your application status.

I have nothing on mine but they emailed me that I was on the waitlist, but I assume you have not gotten any word? I guess you might be on an alternative waitlist? Edited February 25, 2019 by Joegeo
SCIOPsych Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Yeah I don’t have any news for SLU on my portal yet. Also have not gotten any email saying I’m on the waitlist. Hopefully no news is good news?

Joegeo Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 I know it's probably not a good idea but I feel much more attached to a program that accepted me right away compared to ones that I got off a waitlist. It's not rational but it feels good to a program firsts choice compared to a 9th choice.

Go check your application status. There was no change to my status on the portal, but I did get a generic email yesterday from the program director asking if I still wanted to be considered for the MA program (because I selected it in the application). It was in my spam inbox, so be aware that you may have received an email if you applied as well!

OddIsEven Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Do you guys think a rocky phone call with your POI can seriously damage your standing within a short list? I hit it off really well with my POI at Auburn during my initial interview, and got invited to open house weekend less than a day later. However, I spoke with them on the phone last week about research (pretty general questions/conversation topics) and I felt like it was a pretty rocky conversation from start to finish (i.e., stutters, accidental interruptions, slip ups [on both ends], etc.). I travel there tomorrow, so that conversation is weighing pretty heavily on my mind - especially since my POI won't be there for Open House Weekend. Just wanted to know what y'all thought.

OddIsEven Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Also - I spoke with Dr. Sinclair from Clemson. They've made an initial round of offers, but expect at least one or two people to drop, meaning a few more offers might be given out. They plan on having the cohorts for both the Masters and Doctoral programs sorted out by the end of March.

Applied: Bowling Green, CSU, LSU, Clemson, UCF, Houston, UGA, Auburn, Florida Tech Accepted Waitlisted Rejected Open House Well as Psychology majors we know how much weight first impressions carry and it sounds like you made a good first impression. Phone conversations can be hard because you can't read facial expressions or body language, especially if you don't know the person. Plus the conversation probably wasn't as bad as you think it was. I don't think you should be worried. Just focus on preparing for tomorrow and good luck, you'll do great! Also- thanks for the info about Clemson! Edited February 27, 2019 by Savannah_C

I think they expect some awkwardness for phone talks and know you can be a bit stress out.

The good first impressed is more important than an awkward phone call. It's always easier to only think of the bad parts of the phone call and amplify those, but I'm sure it's not as bad as you remember! Be confident and focus on the next step! It's never too late to leave a new impression! Your in-person impression will be much stronger than a phone call. You're going to do great!!!
Joegeo Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Can the person who posted their rejection from USF DM me how they found out? I checked my status and don't see an update.

Check your junk email, maybe? I just checked and nothing there. I am assuming I am on some alternative waitlist way down the list of possible candidates.
