Fall 2021 Clinical & Counseling PhD/PsyD

Also, why are so many schools scheduling their interviews for the SAME. DAY.

So I've had something peculiar come up. I received an invite that mentioned "two potential mentors" for me, but I only mentioned one of these in my statement. I'm a bit confused at to why they would include the second one then? They're in the same general subfield, but population and focus are different from my interests. I'm honestly not particularly interested in working under them (at least primarily), so I'm not really sure how I should go about incorporating this into my prep? Should I prep as if they were a a serious match for me, so I at least don't seem like I don't care enough about the program generally? Has anyone come across this sort of situation before? ?

It sounds like that person is seeing some sort of an overlap and is interested in working with you in some capacity. They may be shifting their work slightly or just be generally interested in you as a student. I would prep for both. Either way, in my experience you don't just work with your primary mentor. While I have my primary lab that I work in, I've helped on posters/manuscripts with other faculty with slightly different interests. Also, when it comes time to pick your committee, it's much easier when you already have a good working relationship with several faculty, especially if those faculty work well together. And my making strong connections was doubly helpful when my primary advisor decided to take a 1 year leave of absence for this academic year, leaving me to needing a new advisor to help oversee my dissertation. I had a faculty member volunteer to step in because I had established a good relationship with them over the last 2 years so it made the whole "relocation" process much easier.

Hi everyone!! Has anyone heard from the University of Florida's counseling department? I read that that people received rejection letters today from U of F, but I think it was just the clinical track people Thanks!

I thought I’d share a timeline update with you. One of my colleagues/friends from Div. 17 is a faculty member at UF and they shared the following with me: They should be done reviewing by Dec 23. Phone interviews will happen shortly after that until Jan 6, then Interview Day Invitations will follow (for an interview date of Feb 1-2).  I hope this update helps.

Just curious, do people send out prelim/formal interview invites on the weekend?

@Neuropsych2021you are a magical human!

Has anyone heard from University of Utah? I remember seeing one post on the results page, but surprised more people haven't reported if they've sent out official invites. And I'd expect they would soon if their interviews are that early.

It’s a labor of love haha. I also applied to University of Utah and haven’t heard anything back yet

Hey ya'll! Just wondering if I might just scratch off University of Kentucky from my list. From the folks that received an official email, was that a mass email? 

They apparently also sent out a mass rejection (I think, according to a different topic). I only just received an email yesterday from the graduate school that said they are reviewing my application. I am not entirely sure what it means but maybe they aren't done yet. 

[Balletgirl91]

@Neuropsych2021, thank you so much for doing this list! This is great! 

For Kent you put the interview dates on Saturdays and I was just wondering if that’s correct?

[Balletgirl91]

Sorry, never mind! I found their interview dates, and they are on Saturdays.

I also got the same email from the graduate school! I am glad I am not the only one, I was getting a little worried maybe they missed my application or something. Not sure what this means.... do schools normally let you know if you are on a waitlist or will they just.... let you wait and email you if an interview spot opens up (first time applying so I am not sure of the protocol here)?

I got an email earlier today from Rutgers asking to fill out a supplementary survey - anyone else who applied to SUNJ Rutgers get this email?

Do you think this means we're being considered for interviews? Or did everyone who applied here get the same email?

I did too. Personally, I think everyone did to help them sort through all the applications.

Why are people freaking out on the results page again?

[PsychApplicant2]

Kinda wish there was a rule on the results page that posts asking for PI's just automatically get removed. It causes way too much clutter.

I agree. If the person wanted to post the PI wouldn't they have just done that?

Yeah, this website is being really slow and not showing me my account, or showing updated threads. Glad it's not just me lol!

[ClinPsychAgain]

Anyone hear from Marquette yet? The website says they will alert applicants invited for an interview by mid-December. I'm sure they are backed up because of COVID and many more applications, but just wondering if anyone has a tip...
