I had a prelim interview with my poi (J.G) earlier this week, and the email I was sent from him said they do prelims before they do official interviews as part of their process. Since each poi seems to contact people directly, I am unsure if all of the professors have sent out prelim interview invites or not, but I saw a few people comment about prelims as well. I hope this is helpful! Best of luck to you!

DrApple Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 On 1/7/2021 at 9:21 PM, Psychhopeful1 said: Does this mean I’m rejected if I didn’t get one? Expand For all schools, if you don't receive an interview invite initially, it does not necessarily mean you are rejected. You are not rejected from any school until you receive an official rejection. Some programs send them out much earlier than others and some wait until after April 15. If you don't hear from a school, assume you are still on a list somewhere. There is always a slim chance that programs/POIs go back to their shortlist if someone declines an interview, or even accepts an offer somewhere before other interviews have even taken place. This year is going to be even more unpredictable because applicants don't have to travel and cancel plans if they decide not to attend an interview or take an early acceptance somewhere. The wait is agonizing, but unusual things do happen sometimes! VeriWolf and RedBird 2

Maybe not hearing anything from them isn't such a bad sign then. Maybe you're heading toward a wait list! I've only heard from one of my schools (wait list), and I'm getting pretty antsy.

Ard_psych Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Hi everyone, Has anyone heard from Case Western Reserve, PI: AP? I saw some on the results page and I'm just wondering if the interview invites were a mass email or PI specific.

Underthewater Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 First time applicant here who would greatly appreciate some advice - I got rejected from a PhD program and was instead recommended to apply to the school's master's program within the same department, using the same documents as I used for the PhD program to create a new separate application for the master's. However, do you recommend slightly altering my personal statement to better suit the aims of the program? For instance, this master's program has more of a clinical/practicum focus and less of an emphasis on research, so should I alter my statement to reflect this? Or, would it be better to leave the statement unaltered, as my PhD rejection email said I could do? Also, is it conventional to include the names of PIs in master's application essays? Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Expand It depends on the type of program. If it is an MA vs an MS matters. Sounds like an MA. They usually care about why you want to be in the profession and what drives you. Sometimes it is not advantageous to mention research if the program has a heavy focus on counseling. Try to be original and have a more specific reason than helping others
