I applied to Harvard. Based on what I read on old threads on TGC, I don't think Harvard does an "interview weekend/day" like other schools do? Their application deadline also *just* passed a couple days ago.

Yes, I didn't even pay attention enough to realize their deadline wasn't the 1st of Dec, so I submitted then lol. I just assumed that interview weekend or not there would be an interview over skype at the very least. Who did you apply to work with? How are you feeling about it. Harvard is the one that seems to send out invites for interview and admission decisions the latest out of everywhere I have applied to.

Well it's Harvard so I'm not optimistic about my chances, but it's a good match for my specific research interests, as well as my career goals (academia/research, NOT clinical practice), so I figured I might as well apply. I'll message you my POI.

I saw January 24, 2020 for Alabama (Psych and Law). Who did you choose for your POIs? Best of luck!

Yeah I definitely should have checked the website for before posting haha. JC and LK, but I'm not very optimistic about getting an interview. Would be awesome though! Who are you PIs (feel free to PM if you'd rather share that way)?

First time applicant here. How are people already getting interviews for 12/1 deadlines? Almost every schools website says decisions will go out January for February interviews. Is it standard to hear this early? Are you supposed to get a phone interview before an in-person interview?

Sorry to add to this, but could the Milwaukee poster DM me their POI if they don't mind sharing?

Honestly at this point I'd accept rejection notices so that I can stop checking those schools

Welcome to the process! Each school does things differently, so don't take it as a sign that you won't get an interview if you haven't yet! It's still very early, and many of these schools had deadlines before 12/1 so they began evaluating apps sooner. Some also have rolling admissions, so you could get an interview earlier than normal if you submitted your app early. 

Also, it's not necessarily the case that every school has phone/online interviews before in-person ones. Because Clinical Psych is one of the only psych fields that generally doesn't pay for their interviewees to go to interview days, many programs are starting to do phone interviews to weed out the B team before inviting their first picks to interview. Saves on time and money for us! But not all schools do that. If you haven't heard back yet, try not to worry; it really is very early! I applied to 10 programs and only 2 have invited me for interviews. You have lots of time! After the holidays I'm sure they'll come rolling in. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions! This is my 3rd time so I'm a seasoned veteran at this point ? Good luck!
