Fall 2020 Clinical/Counseling Interview Invites

[sjpsy2020]

Has anyone here reached out to see whether all interview invites have been extended for the counseling psych programs at Boston College or University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign? Saw that a Boston College POI recently contacted someone so feeling hopeful but could the person who posted clarify whether the BL was Liang or Lai? Thank you!!

I emailed BC today and they said “as of today the admissions committee is still reviewing applications” whatever that means

Hi has anyone heard from East Carolina University yet? I think I saw posts from a year or two ago from around this time.

Thank you!

I just wanted to say I think it's totally wild that the counseling psych program is already sending out invites. Clinical isn't going to send them out until 2/5-2/7.

When was the clinical app due? The counseling was 12/1

I saw that some people in the pediatric school psych concentration got interview invites the other day but I haven’t seen anything for the clinics program. I agree it’s getting kind of late though...

Ugh, and we wait... Thanks for letting me know!

For those who heard from the Counseling PhD at Fordham, was it a mass email? I spoke with my POI and he said that the admissions makes these decisions and CC'd him, but haven't heard anything.

Called the program coordinator at SDSU and she informed me that they have not finished sending out interview invitations and aiming to have all sent by Tuesday because of the Monday holiday

I have a question about interview dress. I have my first interview this coming week. I was planning on wearing a pants suit (black jacket and pants with a nice shirt.) But the climate is on the warm side. Is wearing a jacket too formal? Should I just wear a nice blouse and black pants? I was wearing a sleeveless shirt under the jacket, but if it's hot, and I need to take off the jacket, I don't think it would be appropriate to wear sleeveless. Any thoughts?

Congrats! 

I would say that it is better to have a full suit. If you can endure the warmth to begin with, I would wear a jacket and a shirt with sleeves (maybe with breathable light material). Then, when you take your jacket off, you won't feel self conscious. In short, I agree with you, I wouldn't do sleeveless.

I didn't ask if they were done, but my POI at UIUC told me that all faculty had to agree, and once they did they would all be sending out invites (on 1/10)

There's been some debate about Rutgers having sent out all their invites, but no one is real sure what's going on. I reached out but haven't heard back yet.

I saw someone posting that Rutgers said all invites are extended, but I haven't seen a single one? And they don't usually send them out until nowish or later? 

They're talking about the PhD program. I personally haven't seen anyone reporting an interview invite for their PsyD program. Last year I didn't get their interview invitation til the end of January, so I wouldn't worry at all yet!
