Got an auto email to check my application status a few hours later and saw the official acceptance letter and stipend (20k/year + 4k/summer) Congrats on your acceptance!! Reading through your post made me curious. Has anyone else who has received acceptances received info about stipends? I guess I’d like to see what the “norm” would be across multiple programs.

I received an official letter today, after being extended an informal offer over the phone 1 week ago, but they said information about scholarships and assistantships would be sent later. I'm assuming it's because this program (clinical psych PhD) has specific scholarships and awards that they need to figure out who to give to after official offers have been given.

I guess it could also do with the specific funding sources from each POI. Thanks for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too early to hear about awards/scholarships. For example, for one school I was accepted in December.

Waiting to hear for interviews... waiting to hear back about acceptance... waiting to hear about funding... then can finally breathe a sigh of relief that you can make it to grad school! Let's not talk about all the waiting and pushing once you're actually in. We're a bunch of masochists! ilobebrains 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humanisticPOV Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 PSA: As acceptances start to roll in, this is just a friendly reminder to everyone from someone with lots of contract experience, NEVER ACCEPT A POSITION UNTIL YOU HAVE YOUR FUNDING PACKAGE IN WRITING (unless, of course, you are not expecting funding). Even if it is your top choice and you've been dying to go for the last 20 years... I cannot stress enough; get that s**t in writing. dancedementia, Steph93, spookycat and 26 others 18 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your opinion on schools that don't necessarily guarantee funding but state that every student thus far has been funded every year?

So my PI that I RA for is basically the head professor of our psych department and told me to ask both the faculty and grad students. So obviously the faculty stated what I said in the first post. The grad students corroborated that they hadn't had any issues whatsoever with funding but you have to actively seek it out and it's very competitive. The only thing is that it's hard because even though that's the case now, you never know what it will be like in the future since you will be actively working within the program for multiple years to come and you never know when funding will suddenly disappear. So it's nice when you actually have a guarantee of funding rather than a nonchalant "well so far we've been fine" if that makes sense lol.

If there are other programs with guaranteed funding through writing, then I may pick them instead. You have to list your pros/cons for each school and make the best decision for you.

sapply8 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Good news: I got accepted to the PsyD program at UIndy! ? I was so comfortable there and the program aligns perfectly with my future goals, so I'm 99.9% sure that's where I'm headed this fall. Bad news: My final interview is scheduled for this weekend with another program. On one hand, I don't want to appear unprofessional, canceling my interview just a few short days prior. On the other hand, I don't want to spend their time and spend money on travel when I know I will be accepting another offer. I'm unsure how to notify their staff that I no longer plan on attending their interview weekend. Any advice would be much appreciated! Also, congrats to anyone else who was accepted!! ? today.is.not.the.day and emmy8220 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
