And yes, my understanding is that if you didn’t receive an unofficial interview, you likely would not be invited to the official interview. Is it the case for other people too? or are they still doing some unofficial interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloBook249 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Anyone heard back from UCI yet? Someone in this post said that UCLA has already sent out their interview invitations, I wonder what's going on with other UCs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PianoPsych Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Congratulations to those who have received interview invites! Sounds like 12/20 will be a big day for us ? it's nerve-wracking for me when I see my schools pop up here/in the portal of interview invites and I have not received news from them, I'm sure I'm not alone though!

PsychNerdd Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hi heard back from a professor from Univ of Michigan. We're having a call tomorrow, she says it's not a formal interview, just a way of trading information b/c she would *love* to accept me, what does this really mean? And how should I prepare for this call? PianoPsych 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume she basically wants to see if you’re a good research fit and ask if you have any questions about the program or her research. I think phone interviews might be a way to weed people out who aren’t a great research fit (and to see if they’re worth inviting to the in-person interviews). I recommend preparing to state what your research interests are (in more detail than your statement of purpose), reading some of her research, and preparing questions about the program or her research. Edit: The social psych program doesn’t have in-person interviews. My bad. But I assume your prepare for it in the same way. See @Psygeek’s post below for more information.

PokePsych Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 For those applying to Michigan - they don't do formal interviews. They accept you I think and then invite you for the visitng day. Or that was what it was in previous years. (POIs may do of course unofficial interviews).

(I’m applying to Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience area there, and based on the results page, it looked like they have in-person interviews. I assumed the other programs would be similar. My bad.

I was rejected on the other hand due to research fit, which hurts (I was debating leaving this out to keep the mood up but it's best to be honest, hey?) but it's helpful to know where I stand and what I need to work on should I apply again. I expect to be rejected from other programs for similar reasons, and I envision a lot of productive soul-searching (and unhealthy ruminating.. lol) in the meantime. imemine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks❤️ Every program is different and looks for different things, I'm sure you'll stand out to someone. Getting an informal interview is still a great accomplishment, and it goes to show how qualified of an applicant you are. You got this!
