Is this thread not kind of redundant? If you get an interview, you're more likely to see requests in this thread. 

yeah.. ideally everyone would just include the initials when they post here

Is anyone else starting to go a little bit crazy? I jump every time my phone vibrates.

In the same boat as both of you. I heard from three places all in the same week (before Christmas) and it's been crickets since then. A couple of my schools have sent out invites apparently but I haven't heard back from anyone so I'm panicking.

Day, singular? Lol. Amateur.

Have been obsessed since my first invite on Dec 16. Nonstop checking, hundred+ times a day. Even while on vacation overseas where there's barely any internet.

Oh I am also losing it. Constantly refreshing this page, and my email, and looking through my junk emails. Bargaining with myself how much longer I can hold out before I contact the schools. I feel like it’s especially bad because most of the places I’m still waiting on hearing from are places I haven’t seen anyone else post a result from. It’s agonizing haha

I did not apply to the clinical program but I have not heard a word from UMKC.  The results page does not have anything either.

Hi all, wondering if anyone has had experience interviewing with multiple potential POIs on interview day. I've been asked to interview with two potential mentors at one of my top choice programs, both of which I mentioned in my personal statement. In this case, the tricky part is they have somewhat divergent research interests (but both are in the field of Child Clinical Psychology broadly), so I'm not quite sure how to tackle the interview.

Of course I want to appeal to both, but don't want to stifle my chances at being admitted to the program by trying to appeal to the research interests of both mentors simultaneously. My worry is that I'll seem scatterbrained and unfocused in my research interests if I try to "cater" to the research interests of each on interview day. (i.e., saying I hope to research x with the 1st mentor and simultaneously saying I hope to research something totally different with the other....I presume they'll speak with each other, since they're both in the same subgroup of the clinical psych department.) 

Anyone else experience this before or have a solution? This being my first application cycle and being lucky enough to snag several interview offers, I've definitely got pre-interview jitters!

You need to be honest. POIs are usually not interested in working with clones of themselves. I'm assuming your interests align with both of them, so just be open about what it is you hope to study and why you think each POI could serve as a good mentor for you. Reflect back on what you wrote in your SOP. I imagine you addressed this idea somehow in there about why you selected each POI. Also, connect your interests to their current projects. Is one doing work with the exact population you want to work with? Are they using a methodology you'd really like to learn? Etc. You made it to the interview round, so they liked what they saw on paper. Reflect on your application materials and build on them.
