silvicultrix Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hey all, just wondering, have any of you heard from UMD college park? My PI is AG. I saw one interview on the results board, but haven't seen anything since so unsure if invites have already gone out. I so appreciate everyone's willingness to share information and be collaborative on here! expensiveswimmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post when they respond! Gosh I'm so nervous. This is my top program and has been for years and I know they received 1,000+ applications to the Clinical Psych program - YIKES! Excuse me - 1,000+ ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering if your application checklist still says "materials needed" because of "awaiting test scores". I'm not sure they've sent out apps yet but that kind of stuff makes me nervous my app never went through to review. Following up - I don't know if they send by POI or as a whole, but ISU just sent interview invites, according to results page.

Thanks in advance! I'm not sure about the UofM PI specifically, but I believe all invites have been extended for their interview date (2/5). teehee and Copingwithcarbs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their site says interviews are Feb 10 & 12 so I'm still holding out hope. I saw on the results page that Georgia State already gave out all of their formal interview offers.

Not sure how I missed that. Technically speaking that's better than some schools, although I imagine the average quality is significantly higher. I wonder what happened with the big uptick in last year's cycle? Edited January 20, 2021 by EileanDonan expensiveswimmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigmeundFraud Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I had an email prelim interview with my POI at UPitt exactly a week ago, and I haven't gotten a response from her yet... it sounded like she was considering interviewing me but now quite sure what to do from here.

From what I’ve gathered from talking to professionals, if you can’t find it on the website, it’s fair game to ask about. I would definitely reach out in a few days or next week and ask for an update or if all interview invitations have been sent out if you can’t find it anywhere. Keep it short and sweet and thank them! Or maybe ask the admissions coordinator? Edited January 20, 2021 by PsychApplicant2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socpsyc Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I'm shocked to read in this thread that some applicants applied to 15-20+ schools! I heard about this phenomenon, but didn't think it was prevalent. I struggled to find 6 programs that were strong matches. I totally understand applying to a zillion places to try to improve the odds of admission. But, wow - if this trend continues the number of applicants to each program almost certainly will impact the amount of time that committees can spend on individual review. The field has to figure out a better way of getting the right applicants to the right programs. The current system and trends in admissions are not sustainable.

ClinicalGradCandidate Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 When I messaged USC, they said, “We have a large increase in applications this cycle, so timing might be stretched. Not all initial interview have been done yet. Faculty typically start contacting applicants early on and sometimes all the way into April. However, the majority of the formal interviews are done within February which is when our formal interview day is held. All applicants are considered, until they receive a deny letter.” When I messaged my PI, he said, “I believe invitations for interviews started going out today. I don’t think everyone has received a reply yet. You should receive an email soon.” (this was on January 13th).

Can you imagine if we had a central system like med school applicants?! We wouldn't know what to do with ourselves. Still, there's a reason for the competitiveness. In addition to PI's wanting competent students, there simply isn't enough "product" (programs) to satisfy the "customers" (us poor sods). And that ultimately boils down to funding. At what point will this bubble burst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it weird to add someone who I hope would be a potential POI? I don't want to cross any boundaries and the goal behind adding them is just that I love their content in general and often just search them anyways. My gut feeling is just to wait until after application season is over but I'd love your perspective. I felt the same way following potential POI's on Research Gate! I decided to wait until after app season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
