mmmmcoffee Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Hiya folks! Thought I'd start this thread on the off-chance that anyone else on here will be at NCSU's psychology visiting day in February. I'm super excited, but I'd love to get to know some people before we get there if at all possible - maybe it'll make us all a little less nervous So - how we feelin'?
starfleet_grad Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Literally made this account to reply lol. I’m going as well. I’m excited, and a lil nervous. But I heard that reimbursement is a good sign; they already want us and we just have to not be insane. I’m in Human Factors. You? mmmmcoffee 1

I'm also a little nervous - I've met my POI before at a conference but that also means I have fewer questions to ask which is a little stressful lol
starfleet_grad Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Well the familiarity is nice! I think either way nerves might pop up. Maybe start questions with “well I know X from our previous conversations but I’d love to hear more detail/how does this relate to Y” Starting with something you both know may lead to more indepth convos! So far I’ve only teleconferenced with my POI; I’m afraid I was vague in terms of research interests so I’m hoping to come across more sure on next Friday!

ShepskyBB Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I will be attending their visiting day as well! (Human Factors program). Very excited. Assuming you guys aren't local, when do you plan to arrive? If y'all would be interested, it would be awesome if we could meet up the night before to chat and put names to faces.

I'm driving up on the 13th but was planning on getting there around 1-2pm! LifespanDev has a dinner that night but if you'd want to get coffee I'm going to be exploring the downtown area before I meet up with my host and would love to meet if you'd be there too!

I'm driving over with my boyfriend on the 13th as well. We have a pretty long drive and a time change, so we probably won't get there until around 6pm or so (might be a little later depending on traffic). Maybe we could do drinks after your dinner if the timing works out? I'll PM you my # and some other details so we can coordinate! Out of curiosity, by "host" do you mean that you're staying with someone from the program or something to that effect? Just curious if that's an official thing some of the other psych programs are doing

I'd love to get drinks after dinner if it works out! If not maybe we can figure something out after interviews on the 14th when we get the full schedule!

It's cool that you're staying with a student! Did you coordinate that yourself or is that something the department did for you?

I’m also Human factors! I’m flying in around 2:00 pm. I’m meeting with a current HF student but we’ll probably meet before you get there at 6. My POI gave me her info. I’ll be happy to let you know what we talk about. I’m down to meet y’all on the 13th for drinks! It’ll be cool to see more of the city. @mmmmcoffee I’ll probably be studying automation! Maybe VR stuff but I don’t think that’s one of their focus areas. You?
tacobellfanaccount Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I made an account just to respond to this! I'm also in HF, which I feel like is not often found on here. It's gonna be my first on-site interview so I'm pretty anxious but excited! mmmmcoffee and ShepskyBB 1 1

Yeah lots of psychology people but very few forums (or admissions results) in our lil sub field. It’s my first on site interview too but I’m excited. From the video on their site it seems like it’ll be a fun day. There’s apparently a long tour to look forward to! tacobellfanaccount and mmmmcoffee 2

Also, have you two in HF received itineraries yet?
mmmmcoffee Posted February 11, 2020 Author Posted February 11, 2020 @starfleet_grad oooh that's cool! i'll be looking into older adults and their emotions (regulation/how they communicate them)! starfleet_grad 1

xxxiao Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 I'm curious, has anyone received their financial decisions? It's been a while, and I haven't heard back from them

ShepskyBB Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 I received one on Friday last week, so hopefully you guys have yours now too!.
