psychg Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I'm sad to have to start thinking about backup plans, but it's possible for me that it is that time (still holding some hope but it's not looking great- applying clinical phd). Currently I'm in a psychometrist position so getting great clinical experience, but I know that my lack of research experience is going to be what's holding me back. I really only have 2 years of undergrad research experience, and 2 on-campus poster presentations are all that came out of it (no pubs, prof wasn't interested in publishing those years, unfortunately for me, as he'd just gotten promoted to the chair of the dept so was otherwise occupied). After graduation, I interviewed for 1 RA position, but ultimately didn't get it as the funding fell through, and with the pandemic I didn't feel I could afford to be picky in turning down the psychometrist position, despite research being what I want to do. Especially with apps for next cycle already due in less than 11 months (panic!) I really need to start looking now...How do ya'll go about getting paid research positions/where do you look?

missmusical Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I saw a bunch of people post about a rejection email from Arizona State on the results forum. I have yet to receive an interview invite but did not get said rejection email. What does this meeeeeeaaaaaaan?? Is my rejection email coming in a different batch? Am I waitlisted for an interview? Will I magically acquire an interview invite over the next few days? This is killing me ? Sikeapplicant and toopsychedout 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received an email stating that the interview date is February 15th. I am not sure if they will be sending out more interview invites but I can share any information if anyone has any questions. Was this a generic email? I know a lot of people were waiting on Rutgers. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alliant’s students still have to work their butts off to get in and complete the program, and they get good clinical training. I’m open to input from other applicants, but coming from a current PsyD student your words kind of just feel like you think your program is superior, which it very well might be, but that’s not the attitude I’m looking for in someone I’m taking advice from. Sorry if there’s weird formatting, my phone isdisplaying this text box weirdly. I would just consider what happened to all of the Argosy University campus's. Here is an article on it: https://www.nationalregister.org/eo-desk-mar-2019/ I don't think that poster was trying to come off as rude, but just wants you to know and understand the risks. It can affect your ability to get hired in certain settings, especially if you don't get matched at an accredited internship (many for-profit programs do not have good relationships with accredited internship sites and often do not get priority-- this can affect a person's career). You can also look up the clinical/counseling psychology internship crisis to understand why it is so important to match with a reputable internship site. I think this is ultimately your own decision. You should attend whichever school you feel is right for you. HopefulFuture666 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotYourMothersGrad Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I'm not sure what's worse, seeing all of these rejections, or starting to see acceptances from the place you interviewed at. c_otter, Chugwater2020, Desperate13 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth noting that I had correspondence with the department last week and they said "Interview offers will be extended no later than by the end of next week (you will be notified either way)."
