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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIOPsych Posted February 25, 2019 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joegeo Posted February 26, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddIsEven Posted February 27, 2019 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

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!!!
