LOL the coordinator seemed dumbfounded that could even happen. This is by far the most complicated way I'll get rejected this year Ask for a refund fee! justacigar, briecheese2020 and rubberduck 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aghhhhh Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I stopped checking the interview thread and results page last month ?I got wayy too pessimistic when one of my lower schools sent out invites and I didn't get one--literally, that evening, I started planning what I was gonna do my next year haha. I just figure I'll find out when I find out. I'll probably check again in 2 weeks if I don't hear anything else. justacigar and CatastrophizingNerd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xChrisx Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I made a mistake on my U of Sc application. They've sent out invites and I know I'm definitely NOT getting one. I feel like an idiot but you live and you learn innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novina Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Has anyone heard back from Illinois or Penn State yet?

EHL343 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Sorry if this has already been asked! One of my schools sent out invites in mid December and I never received anything. The official Interview Day is next week. I would assume that I've been rejected, but I actually have not heard about anyone hearing from my POI. Obviously they may have extended interview offers and the chosen candidates don't use GradCafe, but I thought I would ask for advice anyway. Is it inappropriate to reach out the the department and ask if all interview invites about been offered? Since the school's official day is next week I want to plan my travel accordingly... but more realistically accept my defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at this point, it's totally reasonable to reach out to the department just to make sure, although given the proximity to the interview days, chances are good they're probably all out.

Psych1st Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I'm pretty sure I have rejections from the rest of the schools I haven't heard from, but the fact that I don't know for sure sucks. I hate having a sliver of hope if it's definitely not happening. ImAFreudNot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate having a sliver of hope if it's definitely not happening. Honestly after @justacigar emailed their school and found out that their application was basically lost and then got an interview (for the same school?) I basically said f it and emailed all the schools that have already sent out invites and will probably be rejecting me. But honestly, after all the time and money spent into application season I feel like the least anyone can do is make sure rejections are sent out. I whole-heartedly believe waiting around for weeks OR never hearing an answer is 1000000% worse than receiving a rejection. Like pleaaseee reject me so that I can move on with my life and focus on how I'll spend the next year improving myself/finding myself/or whatever else floats my boat. lol justacigar, Grad_School_Hopeful, Psych1st and 5 others 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
