justacigar Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 1 hour ago, checkingmyemail said: I would strongly suggest trying indeed.com. Look for the keywords "psychology research" or "child psychology research" or anything you think might populate opportunities, and don't limit your search to locations. This is how I found my current position in a highly competitive academic/clinical research based center, coordinating a RCT with a prominent PI in my field who's an expert with the clinical population I'd like to work with/my POIs have experience working with. Thanks for the tips! I have done quite a bit of searching, as well as reaching out to potential profs at schools near me with fairly minimal luck unfortunately. But I will keep on keepin' on! Something is bound to pop up! xxxxxxxxxx 1

LITERALLY, LAWD SERIOUSLY. I also need my family memebers to stop calling about holiday plans. Every time the phone rings, I get my hopes up that it’s an invite ??

LITERALLY, LAWD SAME. One of my PIs said I'd hear back "by the end of the week" and I'm like ? ? ? (as if I haven't been checking my email every 30 seconds all week saying "well she said BY the end of the week so maybe Tuesday isn't too early??). At this point I'm not sure if my brain will survive long enough to actually get into a program lol. pineapplepizza and xxxxxxxxxx 1 1
hopefulgrad2019 Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 To the recent poster who got rejected at UNL, was this a mass email rejection? Sorry but thank you in advance! justneedone2019 and huskypsych 2
xxxxxxxxxx Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 **Googling all the places I’d live in, if I was to be accepted into my top choices** LOL The holiday spirit isn’t (and hasn’t been) here since Dec. 2016’s elections for me. It is soooo difficult to stay distracted/practice self-care until January 7th! ? hopefulgrad2019 and xChrisx 1 1
PsychWannabee Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Officially rejected by UNL today. Yes, I am crying.
presentfancies Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 UNL is my top choice--- if I get a rejection email today I will be right there with you

Let me just say rejections do not define you whatsoever. They also are NOT the end of your journey in Psychology. This process is very competitive, quite frankly ridiculous, and it took everything in me to “build myself up,” become a better applicant, and apply again, with the fear of not knowing whether I’d ever be “good enough” to ever receive an invite. This too shall pass! PsychWannabee 1
Waiting272 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 I heard my phone vibrate, I panicked. Turns out to be Red Cross asking for blood donation. Trying to stay afloat here but I heard back only from one school out of 21. And it was a rejection LOL... Again, questioning if this is the normal wait time. My top choice is Temple. xxxxxxxxxx 1
huskypsych Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 There are plenty of schools that do not even pick up applications to read until after the new year! Plus, many professors I know don't actually come back to work until classes restart, which is probably next week. Unless you have strong evidence to the contrary, I wouldn't start presuming rejections until February at the earliest! PsychM and Waiting272 2

I'm heartbroken to say the least. If your application is still under review in MyRed, I think they're still considering you!

I just got to remind myself that this is all part of the process.

Honestly at this point I'd so much rather just receive rejections (or interviews ?) and at least know where I stand than have to wait anymore. I feel like rejections will be horrible, but at least it's over and you can deal with it and then focus on interviews, you know? xxxxxxxxxx, El_Gaucho and hopefulgrad2019 1 2
MightAsWellJoinTheHysteria Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I've silently read this thread over the past couple weeks and finally had to join in. It is about time they start contacting us all haha! Anyone else making contingency plans? xxxxxxxxxx, ConstantEmailRefresh and GraceL 3
