I keep reading about those calls on other threads. I haven't had any, and I can't help but wonder if it'll do me in... never did, PI didnt reply to my feeler email, and still got in (he was my nr 1 choice) imemine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also just got two invites for informal Skype interviews next week and I am super stressed. One of them is for my dream school, so on one hand I am super excited but on the other hand I am afraid to do something wrong to jeopardize it. ? Thanks! Good luck to you too! I'm also terrified that I'm gonna mess everything up... P.S. Feel free to DM me if you want to know NYU POI.

SocialPsych2018 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I've had 2 skype interviews for grad school (one this year, one two cycles ago) and one of my former profs sent me her list of grad school interview questions that she asks prospective students. Feel free to DM me if you want the questions I've been asked or the ones that she sent me! And yeah, I'd definitely recommend making sure that your skype, laptop, etc. are working, dress somewhat formally, and have a water glass (or other drink) beside you. Good luck to everyone with preliminary interviews! PianoPsych, imemine and socialneurofriend 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I sure hope so! I also noticed a few people on this thread who applied to Michigan. I'm a current master's student there (albeit in the clinical area), so if anyone has any questions about the school/area you can message me!
