terrycherry Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Hey does anyone know how the interview process works for social psych? Like how do they filter people out, is it that you're competing against someone else for the same prof or are you just competing for a spot in the program? In my mind I'm imagining that profs choose one student for interviews and then during the admissions meeting, they have less spots than students so they reject some. Is this ... correct?

In my mind I'm imagining that profs choose one student for interviews and then during the admissions meeting, they have less spots than students so they reject some. Is this ... correct? Expand You apply to work in a certain professor's lab, which is why you have to make sure the professor that you are interested in working with is taking new students for the application season that you are applying to start (and that the professor's research interests match yours). Then, from what I've seen, the professor could either choose to have a brief "unofficial" phone or Skype interview with you prior to inviting you to campus to interview, or you could also be invited to an on-campus interview without doing an unofficial preliminary interview. From my understanding, sometimes professors do preliminary interviews to weed people out that may not be the best research fit. So, whether you are competing against somebody else depends on if any others applied to work with that same professor, and whether that professor is considering other applicants other than yourself. So it's possible that you wouldn't be competing against anybody else, but you should still be making an effort to impress the whole department during any in-person interviews you get invited to, not just your POI. I hope this makes sense, and somebody please correct me if I'm wrong! From my understanding, this technically sums up the process, and you are likely to hear back from a professor that is interested in chatting with you anywhere between December and February.

Expand I think this is school dependent? I heard (and I might be wrong) that Stanford admits students into their department as a whole (competing for a spot in the program), but there's also schools like UCLA where each professor is responsible for inviting students they'd like to admit to their lab, and they just pick from those that they shortlist/invite. Hope this clarifies things!

hippyresearcher Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 I didn't see a thread for this, so I'm going to post here as this seems most fitting. Does anyone know if there are threads for experimental psychology programs? I'm awaiting an interview invite from OSU (OKState). Does anyone have potential information?

stroobs&bloobs Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 Has anyone heard anything from Stony Brook University?
ybuw111 Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Do you think UCLA is done with finalizing interview invitations? If I haven't received any letters/ unofficial interview, does that mean i am just straight of rejected from the school? UCLA is so confusing with its protocol.

Expand I think UCLA tries to reach out/informal-interview early (before Winter break), at least for the social department. So they probably have already reached out to the shortlisted candidates at this point.
Vanilla Bean Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 If the person that had an informal phone interview for Pittsburgh with AF sees this, can you message me please? Thank you!
kkkkkkkx Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Hello everyone! I am soooo anxious about the application! Although I know it's not helping but just keep tracking updates for people getting interviews and results lol. Would love to know whether anyone received formal interview from Dartmouth?
Red324 Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Hello! Anyone heard from UGA, UMN, KU, FSU, UNCG, UH, Purdue, UI Urbana-Champaign, or UMD? Thank you. Edited December 30, 2019 by Red324
