Out of curiosity, did anyone get rejected from The University of Akron's counseling psychology program after interviewing? I am on the waitlist and am trying to figure out if everyone who interviewed was either accepted or waitlisted, or if some people were rejected. Also, is anyone who was accepted planning to release their spot? Thanks  Feel free to DM if that's more comfortable! 

Hey, I was actually admitted to this program. I am waiting to hear back from one more school before I accept or decline.

I also haven't heard! On a similar note, did anyone else have an odd interview experience with LIU Brooklyn? My faculty interview was super intense and I actually left feeling a bit uncomfortable.

I'm like 98% sure this one is a rejection, so haven't been too preoccupied

For those of you all who have multiple offers, how many offers are you holding onto at a time? And when do you expect to release offers you plan to reject?

[K31D1Psych]

On the results, I saw someone got accepted to American University. If anyone who is seeing this received an acceptance, I would really appreciate if they could message me their PI and if it was a mass email and if they plan to accept. I only want to know because all of this waiting after the interview is making it hard to pre-plan for other schools (e.g., application deadlines, post-bac research job deadlines, etc) keep flying by each day I don't have an answer. Thank you ❤️

I am holding on to one offer (while waiting to hear back from my first choice program, where I am waitlisted). I was told by a DCT at a program where I interviewed that you should never hold on to more than one offer at a time. If you have two, decide which one you'd prefer as soon as you can and reject the other. I hope most people follow that advice! 

I don't plan to accept or release the offer I have until I get a definite rejection or acceptance from my top choice. That depends when the other applicant who got the first offer accepts or releases it. Since most schools' interviews are wrapping up in the next week or so, I am guessing that within 2-3 weeks waitlists will start moving pretty quickly...

Does anyone have advice about moving for grad school?? I'll be about half the country away from where I've lived my whole life, and would love ANY insight into finding somewhere to live, looking for a roommate, timeline of moving, etc.

On a related note, if anyone got into UNR or is looking for a roomie in the Reno area, we should chat lol

I would reach out to the program director or DCT. My program will usually have incoming students connect with current students about housing, especially if a current student is looking for a roommate or something. We've had a few instances where 1 person was leaving for internship and an incoming student took their room in the apartment.

Has anyone heard from Marquette post interview?

They sent out their first round of offers last Friday. I found out I am an alternate because I emailed my PI. You might want to reach out if you haven't heard anything!

I felt the same way. It was not what I was expecting at all.

If I remember correctly, they're a bit more psychodynamic leaning. That's a common psychodynamic interviewing tactic-seeing how people react when uncomfortable and under pressure.

Just to kinda gauge temperament/interpersonal skills for clinical work?

[lec3]

Hi all! Can anyone share tips on email etiquette when accepting an offer and when declining an offer to programs? Thank you so much!

Yeah, I think so. I don't identify with psychodynamisism at all, so others may speak to it better than I can, but yeah, there's seems to be the idea of making the person sweat and the most uncomfortable they can without crossing any actually boundaries to see how the individual responds. I and my cohort-mates have had some weird externship interviews on occasion because of this.

Just be straight to the point. Acceptance: Thank you so much for the opportunity. I am excited to accept the offer for x university and look forward to working with you (if directly to PI). Decline: Thank you so much for the offer. However, after much consideration, I've decided to accept an offer for a different program. 

Or something along those lines.

Anyone heard from PCOM PsyD? 

[nav.psych]

Has anyone that interviewed at SLU and U of Toledo heard back about a decision yet? It's been a month since the interviews and I haven't received any updates. Thanks!

Anyone else still waiting to hear from University of Washington (adult clinical phd) post interview?
