Agree - I haven't heard anything either. Part of me doesn't even want to hear anything, since I can only suspect the worst. The stress is nauseating, yaaay!

Joegeo Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 If it helps (It does not help my anxiety) but I am pretty sure at least Rice will make contact this week given last year. USF/Georgia Tech might as well.

rmiller32 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Is there someplace where you can see how many applied?

Hi, sometimes the program itself tells you the number of previous years if you look at their website. I believe Rice mentions roughly 140 applications for 10 spots (I am not sure if this is just I/O specifically or all psychology fields). USF I think is 130 for 4-5 spots. Colorado State has a similar ratio. Edited January 20, 2019 by Joegeo
crovanika Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Anyone else applied to Clemson? I imagine the letters for that one will be a lot later, but I really like the look of the program and faculty.

I applied to Clemson for their M.S. program so I don't think I will hear from them for a while!
Joegeo Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 From what I recall Clemson made the first contact to people in February ish. I expect Rice to send emails tomorrow or Tuesday which will make some rough days haha

It's not going to be a fun few days ?

londonbnd Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 Has anyone heard from MSU? It seems like the past few years they sent info the second week of January ?

OddIsEven Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Honestly all this waiting has made me wish that I would have applied to more programs. But alas, I couldn't afford it. Also my situation with LSU ended up being rather odd. I interviewed and was told that I was one of the top applicants, but that it came down to a difference in fit and that I wouldn't be interviewed unless people started to drop... which sucks since I was in contact with my POI for 6 months and some change. Sure hope I hear something ~good~ this week. Applied: Bowling Green, CSU, LSU, Clemson, UCF, Houston, UGA, Auburn, Florida Tech Accepted Waitlisted Rejected

MaybeMaybe2020 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 For anyone who applied to Purdue, I had a Skype interview with them in early December. I didn't make the interview weekend but know that it was last weekend. Sorry for anyone that still had their hope up about them
Joegeo Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Got my first acceptance from the University of Albany! So happy to finally get the first one off the board. psychedpsyched and MaybeMaybe2020 2
Joegeo Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Scratched that apparently it was a glitch in the system. It was fun having joy for a couple of hours.

If they are going to have such a big mistake, they almost HAVE to admit you to the program haha. However, sending you some positive thoughts and hope you get some good news this week. Joegeo 1

One hour thinking you made it the next it got ripped away.

One hour thinking you made it the next it got ripped away. You'd think a field that prides itself on developing effective selection systems would practice what they preach. One thing I learned from the process: a lot of programs aren't the most organized. Only one program I visited asked for feedback regarding the process- it's sad in a way.
