OMG you are a lifesaver! Was debating whether or not to reach out to the coordinator. Totally assumed rejection from that program already. Chances to get in are still super slim, but hey! A sliver of hope! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some people post interviews in the results but not enough for me to think it's over... but of course I'm sure some don't post! Unsure whether to wait it out or start to inquire. Ohio State (if that's who you mean) has their interview a week from today, so I assume they've sent them all. 4 days ago UConn said they were "in the process" of inviting people, so unsure.

applicant17 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 So I got the rather unfortunate news today that I need knee surgery....stressing out about when to schedule this, as I still haven't heard from several programs. Hoping the grad cafe can weigh in on whether I should wait until March when interviews are done altogether? Or sneak it in before then, but potentially have to go to at least one (maybe more) on crutches? I don't really care about being uncomfortable, but from a 'presenting your best self' perspective, would it look bad if I showed up to an interview on crutches?

Wait until your interviews are all done. Unless you know the interview dates of all of the schools you applied to, it's safer to wait until April if possible. Plenty of schools interview into mid-March. Having had knee surgery before, I can assure you the last thing you want to be doing during the first weeks of recovery is preparing for and attending an interview,.

patricia25 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Does it matter whether or not your potential mentor doesn't have tenure yet? I never see or hear people talking about this when considering applying to clinical psychology programs. I assume it's because most professors who are actually accepting students are the professors who don't yet have tenure? My dad is a professor in a totally different field and keeps mentioning how risky it would be to have a mentor without the security of tenure, but the majority of the professors I applied to work under don't have tenure. Any thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on this? Most of mine also don't have tenure because I'm interested in a new field of research which is mainly done by the new wave of professors. Nobody has ever said anything about being cautious about it. If that professor is your source of funding I would be worried. If the program is funding you it's fine.

I asked this question of several people when I was interviewing last year and here is my summary of the advice I was given plus the my experience as a 1st year student. It's something to consider. The biggest potential risk IMO is that they will not stay at the institution long-term. I've seen two friends (not in my program) deal with their advisor leaving the university. In an ideal situation, you'd be given the option to stay in the program with a new advisor or follow the original advisor to their new university. However, if the advisor is leaving academia completely and/or if there isn't a suitable replacement advisor in your program, you'd kind of be out-of-luck. Otherwise, you just want to explore the same questions/issues that you would with any advisor. Do they have funding? Do they expect you to get your own funding for your research projects? How open are they to you pursuing different topics of research or collaborating with other faculty? How productive do they expect you to be with publications? Do they expect you to work in the lab doing things like data collection or other admin-type stuff? Have they had graduate students before and if so, how are they doing? Are they going to be micromanagers or inaccessible? All of these things could be impacted by them not having tenure, but they're issues that should be considered with any potential advisor. ur.future.therapist and patricia25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saludmental Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hi guys! I just graduated from undergrad this past year so this is my first year applying to PhD programs. I am looking to attend a PhD program in Counseling Psychology. Because I have never interviewed for a PhD program, I was wondering if you guys had any personal tips on how I can prepare? I have my first interview end of January so just wanted to know what to expect/certain questions. They also have a group interview portion during the interview day so I was wondering if anyone had experience with this and what I can expect. I am most nervous about this part because I feel like I will be in a group with individuals that have way more experience than I do. Thanks!! clinicalpsych.2022 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
